Adding a recipe of nether portal
by hello12345
Adding a recipe of nether portal is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds crafting recipes for Nether portal blocks and related nether tools.
What it does
Adding a recipe of nether portal lets players craft nether portals from fire charges, flint and steel, and eight obsidian blocks arranged around a crafting table pattern. Nether ingots can be smelted into nether portals, and a nether pickaxe is crafted from three nether ingots over two sticks. Portals placed next to each other count as a way to reach the Nether.
The nether pickaxe breaks nether portals and returns them to inventory, and the mod describes its mining speed as much faster than an iron pickaxe. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It targets NeoForge only, with the 1.0.0 file for 1.21.1, published on 2026-05-04 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.

Use cases
Early Nether access
Players who want to reach the Nether sooner can craft the portal from materials gathered in the overworld.
Portal recovery
The nether pickaxe lets a player take a portal apart and reuse it when relocating a base.
Who it’s for: Players who want an easier path to the Nether on NeoForge 1.21.1, and server owners who want the crafting and tool changes on a shared world.
How it compares
Portal Items covers the Forge and NeoForge loaders for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under a custom license and is not open source. NetherPortalLink is a server-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so players join without installing it. More Annoying Tools Mod also targets NeoForge 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, but it is a client and server tool mod rather than a portal recipe.
