Portable Nether Portal
by Hdi
Portable Nether Portal adds a crafted item that lets a player teleport into the Nether with a right click, without building a portal frame.
What it does
The Nether item is a single crafted object. Using it on a right click moves the player to the Nether, so travel between the two dimensions no longer depends on a built portal. The item keeps a basic coordinate system, which helps players orient themselves in the Nether and move around faster once they arrive.
Its recipe uses four obsidian, two gold blocks, two diamond blocks and a nether wart. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on Minecraft 1.20.6, where the latest Fabric file is 1.0.1, published on 2026-01-20. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Right-click Nether travel
Using the crafted item on a right click sends the player into the Nether without a built portal.
Coordinate display
The item keeps a basic coordinate readout, so players can track their position while moving through the Nether.
Crafted from end-game materials
The recipe combines obsidian, gold and diamond blocks with a nether wart, so the item is gated behind resource gathering.
