Portal Paintings
by OddSense
Portal Paintings lets players craft paintings that work as portals, so a walk into one of a linked pair comes out at the other.
What it does
Two paintings of the same size can be linked into a pair, and walking through one teleports the player to the other. Links also work across dimensions. A painting that is loaded keeps its far side loaded and live, so entities and blocks there update while the player is elsewhere. Empty paintings always load their chunks, while full ones only load them when both ends of the pair are loaded. Paintings span up to 8 blocks wide and sit one tile deep on the wall. Only Silk Touch drops them when mined.
Key features
Crafted portal paintings
Portal paintings are made by crafting, then placed on a wall like ordinary paintings.
Cross-dimension links
A linked pair can connect different dimensions, so one painting can lead into the nether or the end.
Live far-side chunks
A loaded painting keeps the other side's chunks loaded, showing entities and blocks there as they update.

How it compares
PortalGunMod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, client and server, under the MIT License, and it is not open source, so it creates portals with a gun instead of paintings. Liquid Portals is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11, client and server, under the MIT License, and it is not open source, and it uses liquid rather than wall paintings.
