Nether Water
Nether Waters is a NeoForge mod for 1.20.6 that adds a special water source which works as a one-way portal into the Nether.
What it does
A Nether Water source placed in the Overworld sends a player to the matching coordinates in the Nether, keeping the X, Y and Z position of the source. Stepping into the water moves the player at once, so no portal frame or lighting is needed. The trip is one way: returning to the Overworld uses the traditional Nether portals.
The mod suits players who build a base in the Nether or explore it and want to reach a chosen spot without guessing where a portal will land. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Sodium is required as a dependency. The mod is released under All rights reserved, is not open source, and has a single build for 1.20.6, published on 2024-07-29.
Key features
Precise Nether teleportation
Each Nether Water source sends the player to the corresponding coordinates in the Nether, reducing guesswork when traveling.
One-way portal
Nether Water works as a one-way trip, and the return to the Overworld goes through the traditional Nether portals.
Quick Nether access
Players skip building and lighting a Nether portal frame, which saves time and materials for repeated trips.
Obtainable only in creative
The Nether Water source can only be obtained in creative mode, so it is not part of regular survival progression.

Use cases
Building a Nether base
A base in the Nether can be reached quickly from the Overworld by placing a water source at the matching spot.
Exploring the Nether
Players who return to a known area in the Nether can use the same coordinates each time.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on NeoForge 1.20.6 who want a direct route into the Nether with preserved coordinates. Because the mod runs on client and server, both sides need it, along with Sodium.
How it compares
Adding a recipe of nether portal is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with a client and server environment, released under All rights reserved and not open source. It targets a different version from Nether Waters, so the two cannot be used on the same 1.20.6 setup. Portal Items supports Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 under a custom license and is not open source, changing portal use through items rather than a water source. Water Tools is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4 with a client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source.
