Portkey
by AlienPatois
Portkey lets players set a destination and travel to it through an enchanted block, a feature for Forge worlds across 1.18 – 1.19.2.
What it does
Crafting uses the enchanting table: a player makes an enchanting block with the portkey enchantment, and that block becomes a portkey once enchanted. An enchanted portkey block is set to a destination, and the destination can be changed by using the portkey again. Holding shift while using a portkey deletes the saved destination. A second block placed elsewhere is used to set the origin location, so travel runs from one point to the other.
The mod is aimed at players who want a wizard-style way to move between locations in survival or adventure play, and at server owners who want fast travel without commands. Credit for modpacks is requested by the author, and the author notes that the mod has been tested on servers. Files are for Forge only, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The license is the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Enchanted portkey blocks
Blocks made with the portkey enchantment at an enchanting table become magical portkeys that players can place and use.
Destination setting
An enchanted portkey is given a destination, and using it again changes that destination when the player wants a new one.
Deleting saved destinations
Holding shift while using a portkey removes the saved destination so the block can be set again.
Origin and destination pairs
A second block placed elsewhere sets the origin location, linking two points for travel between them.

What the author says
This mod adds some blocks that if you enchant them they become into magical portkeys. These portkeys allows players to teleport between locations. "Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?" "That isn't just any old manky boot mate. It's a portkey."
