Sheep's Portal hallway
Sheep's Portal hallway adds a quartz portal that lets players join a world or a server by walking through it, built from chiseled quartz instead of obsidian.
What it does
Players build the portal the way they would build a nether portal, but with chiseled quartz blocks in place of obsidian. Once lit, stepping through sends the player to the world or server linked to it, so one hallway of portals can lead to several destinations.
Each portal is linked by placing a sign close to it: a sign naming a singleplayer world leads to that world, and a sign with a server address leads to that server. The author suggests a singleplayer world called Portal Hallway as the hub that the portals lead into. The mod is for Fabric and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is published for 26.2 only as a Fabric file with the 2.0.0 release, under All rights reserved and not open source.
Players can also join a server with the mod even when the server itself does not run it, which lets the portal serve as a landing point on servers that were never modified.
Key features
Quartz portal frame
The portal is framed in chiseled quartz, so it looks like a nether portal built from a different material.
Sign-linked destinations
A sign placed near the portal sets its target, either a singleplayer world name or a server IP address.
Hub world layout
Portals can be grouped in one singleplayer hallway world, with each portal leading to a different place.
Joining unmodified servers
Players can enter a server through a portal even when the server does not run the mod.
