Portal Lock

by Manchick

Portal Lock makes completing the End Portal harder by requiring players to gather a set of items in a fixed order before the portal can be finished.

What it does

The End Portal is normally a short task once the eyes of ender are placed. Portal Lock adds a collection step ahead of it, so the portal stays locked until the required items have been gathered and delivered in sequence. The mod is a minigame-style challenge aimed at players who find the vanilla portal too simple. It requires a server, and a client can join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 1.20.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License, not as open source.

Key features

  1. Ordered item collection

    Players must gather specific items and complete the order before the End Portal can be finished.

  2. Harder End Portal

    The portal requirement is raised, turning the final step into a challenge rather than a quick routine.

  3. Server-side setup

    The server runs the challenge, so players connect with a vanilla client and need no extra install.
