Custom Nether Portal
by TheWizard022
Custom Nether Portal lets players build Nether portals of any size, shape and orientation, on the floor, on walls, on the ceiling or floating in the air.
What it does
Portal frames no longer have to follow the standard rectangular shape. Players can place a portal entrance to the Nether on a floor, against a wall, under a ceiling or in open air, and enlarge or reshape it to suit a build. Each portal still connects the Overworld and the Nether as usual.
The mod is aimed at survival and creative worlds and at modpacks that add custom dimensions. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Portals of any size
A Nether portal can be built larger or smaller than the standard frame, as long as the frame is complete.
Any orientation
Portals can be placed flat on the floor, upright on a wall, hanging from a ceiling or floating in the air.
Custom shapes
Frames do not need to be rectangular, which allows portal entrances that fit the look of a build.
Dimension mod friendly
The author states that it works alongside other dimension mods, which suits custom worlds and modpacks.

Use cases

Modpack portals
Modpack authors can give each custom dimension a portal in a shape that suits the pack.
Who it’s for: Players who want more freedom in building Nether gateways, and server owners and modpack authors who add dimension mods to a world.
How it compares
Warden Nether Portal is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is client and server, under All rights reserved. Nightworld is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it uses a custom license and is not open source. Custom Nether Portal shares the client and server environment with Warden Nether Portal but targets 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2.
