Rift Gun
by H3lic0pter
Rift Gun is a NeoForge item mod that adds a portal gun letting players open linked portals between distant locations, across dimensions too.
What it does
The gun lets a player create a pair of linked portals that carry the player, entities and items from one end to the other. Portals stay active once placed and can be used again and again. They can be fired onto walls, floors, ceilings and other suitable surfaces, and they adapt to the surface they are placed on instead of always showing one fixed orientation. Portals do not function as players, and items or vehicles pass through them by default.
Portal behavior is extended by modules that modify or change different mechanics, and some transit modules are needed before passive mobs, hostile mobs, bosses or projectiles can cross. Portal fluids made from copper, rotten flesh, lapis lazuli and water draw on materials that give advanced travel a real survival cost rather than free teleportation. Many portal mechanics are configurable, which lets a server choose between a convenient transport tool and a more restrictive, survival-focused one.
Rift Gun needs Create, Immersive Portals for (Neo)Forge and Infinite Dimensions installed alongside it to provide the portal and dimension features its content depends on. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with the latest file being mc26.1.2-v0.2.2-r2 for 26.1.2. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Linked portal pairs
Each shot pair creates two portals that connect distant locations, including places in other dimensions.

Portals placed in the world remain active and can be used repeatedly without being recreated.
Upgrade modules
Modules modify or change different portal behaviors, and some are required for mobs, bosses and projectiles to pass.
Portal fluids and costs
Unstable Portal Fluid is crafted from copper, rotten flesh, lapis lazuli and water, and advanced travel draws on these materials.
Adaptive placement
Portals fit the surface they are fired at, whether a wall, floor, ceiling or other suitable face.
