Custom Gateways
Players assemble their own gateway frames and pads, and connecting them lets people move between places and dimensions.
What it does
Players create gateway frames and pads anywhere they choose, and each gateway can be linked to another so that stepping into one carries the player to its partner. Because the frames are built by hand, a world can hold as many travel points as its owners want, including links across dimensions.
A remote dialer item lets a player activate a gateway from a distance rather than walking to it, and an information display shows details about a gateway when a player looks at it. The mod is available for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 only, and it requires Fabric API, Forge Config API Port, Geckolib and Matthiesen Core. Matthiesen Core is a shared library by the same author, so it must be installed as well. Jade is an optional dependency that can add gateway information to its overlay.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki. Anonymous usage statistics are gathered through FastStats, giving the developer insight into how the mod gets used; the gathered records can be inspected on the FastStats website.
Key features
Player-built gateways
Gateway frames and pads are built by players, who decide where each one stands and which one it links to.
Cross-dimension travel
Linked gateways can connect locations in different dimensions, not only points within one world.
Remote dialer
A dialer item activates a gateway from a distance, so a player does not need to walk to its frame first.
Gateway information display
Looking at a gateway shows details about it, such as where it links.
