custom portal forge
by SmileyXD
With Custom Portal Forge, a portal frame lit by a Dimension Igniter becomes the entrance to a custom dimension that the player creates.
What it does
Custom Portal Forge lets players create, rename, delete and manage custom portal-based dimensions. A portal frame is built as a valid frame, then activated with a Dimension Igniter, and it leads to a dimension linked to that portal. Walking through a custom portal sends the player to the linked custom dimension. Newly created dimensions begin as a blank void with a 5x5 dirt starter island.
The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer, and it runs on Fabric for game version 26.1.2. Installation requires the mod on both client and server, so in singleplayer it goes into the local mods folder, while on a server every player needs it installed as well. Dimension Igniters are crafted from a recipe. The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source.
