Crying Portals
by Serilum
Crying Portals lets players build nether portals from crying obsidian blocks, from obsidian blocks, or from a mix of both.
What it does
A nether portal frame can be assembled from crying obsidian alone, from ordinary obsidian alone, or from a combination of the two. The mod adds this option to the frame rules without changing how portals work once lit. Crying Portals depends on Collective and runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. Its files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, under All rights reserved, and the source code is publicly available.
Key features
Crying obsidian frames
A portal frame made only of crying obsidian blocks can be lit to open a nether portal.
Mixed frames
Obsidian and crying obsidian blocks can be combined in one frame to form a working portal.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players connect without installing it.
