Server Portals
by michiruf
Server Portals lets server owners register portals built from configured blocks and items, so a portal lights up when the right activation item is held and used.
What it does
A portal is defined in the server configuration with a frame made of chosen blocks and an activation item. When a player builds the frame and uses the item, the portal lights up and can run a configured command, such as printing a message or sending the player to another server. Portal frames can be displayed in different colors on clients that have the mod installed.
Installation requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) next to the mod, and the mod is set up for Fabric only. The server must be restarted after any change to the portal definitions. Server Portals is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Files cover 1.19 – 1.20.2, with 1.1+1.20.2 for 1.20.2 as the latest build.
Key features
Configurable portal frames
Portal frames are built from blocks chosen in the configuration, such as bone blocks, and the activation item is also set there.
Command execution
A lit portal runs a configured command, which can print text to the player or start a transfer to another server.
Frame colors on clients
Clients that have the mod installed show the portal frame in the colors the server configures.
Portal registration
Each portal is registered with its frame, activation item and command, so several portals can coexist on one server.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want custom portals with their own frames and commands, and developers who define portal behavior through configuration.
