Custom Portals Foxified
by kwahson
Custom Portals Foxified lets players build portals out of almost any block, with frames that link by catalyst color and frame material.
What it does
A portal forms when a matching frame of blocks is lit with a colored catalyst. Frames can be built as vertical or horizontal portals, in walls, floors, ceilings or even floating, and the frame block can be a single block, a block tag or a catalyst item. Two matching frames link together once they share a catalyst color and frame material, which allows travel between distant points.
Each portal pairs with the closest eligible partner that shares its color and frame, and only unlinked ones are considered. Without runes, linked portals work within 100 blocks in the same dimension. Gate Runes, mounted beside a portal block, extend this to other dimensions and enhance the frame. A portal that is destroyed leaves its partner unlinked, which then searches for a new valid match. The system is deliberately simple and deterministic.
Catalysts come in 16 colors, which helps organize a portal network, and they can be recolored with dye. This is a NeoForge port of the Fabric original and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Source code is public. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with the latest, 0.3.0, dated 2026-04-28.
Key features
Custom portal frames
Portals can be built from a single block type, a block tag or a catalyst item, in vertical or horizontal layouts.
Color-linked networks
Sixteen catalyst colors and matching frame materials let players sort portals into separate networks.
Gate Runes
Runes mounted beside a portal extend linking across dimensions and strengthen the frame.
Haste on linked pairs
Standing in either end of a linked pair grants haste, which makes the teleport feel instant on both sides.
