Portable Hole
by Fuzs
Portable Hole gives players a tool that clears short passages through blocks, letting them slip through walls, floors and ceilings.
What it does
Clicking a surface clears a short tunnel in the direction of that side, and the opening closes again after a set duration. Blocks are restored afterward, so the passage does not permanently break anything. Hole depth, duration, cooldown, visual effects and the hardness limit of affected blocks can all be adjusted.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.18.2 – 26.3 across 23 release versions. Players and servers both need it, since the environment is client and server. Required dependencies are Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, while Forge Config Screens is optional. Portable Hole is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source.
Configuration can be changed in-game through a mod menu on Fabric, or by editing the client, common or server TOML files in the config folder.
Key features
Temporary passages
Holes through blocks stay open only for a limited time, then the affected blocks reappear.
Directional tunnels
The side of the block that is clicked decides whether the tunnel goes through a wall, floor or ceiling.
Visual feedback
Spark particles, a portal-style edge overlay and block reappearance effects make active holes clear to spot.
Adjustable behaviour
Cooldown, tunnel depth, duration, hardness limits and visual effects can be tuned for a world or server.

Use cases
Exploring tight spaces
A player can cut a short route through a wall instead of mining a path through the stone.
Server rules
Server owners can limit which blocks are affected and how long holes stay open.
Who it’s for: Players who want a short-lived shortcut through solid terrain, and server owners who want to set limits on how that shortcut behaves.
