Portal Corner Link
by MajinGuil
Portal Corner Link ties Nether portals together through glazed terracotta corner markers placed in each portal frame.
What it does
Players mark a Nether portal frame with glazed terracotta at its corners. When a matching pattern exists in another frame, the two portals are linked, so stepping through one brings the player out at the other. Patterns are matched even when they are mirrored, and horizontal orientation does not change the result. Every corner is optional in the sense that partial patterns are accepted, with more matching corners giving a higher priority.
The mod can be used on single-player worlds and on servers, and a glazed terracotta color can be mixed with others to produce a distinct signature for each portal network. When several portals match equally well, the vanilla distance rule decides the destination. Portal Corner Link requires Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Corner-marked linking
Glazed terracotta corner markers in a portal frame let the game pair it with another frame that shows the same pattern.
Closest-fit travel
Stepping through a portal uses the destination whose corner pattern matches most closely, so the nearest fit is chosen.
Color signatures
The sixteen glazed terracotta colors can be mixed to create unique signatures for separate portal connections.
Vanilla fallback
When several portals match equally, the default vanilla distance priority is used, and vanilla behavior is kept otherwise.
