What it does

The mod adds a Portal Gun that is crafted from ordinary materials and placed in the offhand slot. Hotbar slots 1, 2 and 3 control the shots: one fires a blue portal, another an orange portal, and a third removes the portals already placed. The mod is aimed at the average player, so it needs no setup beyond crafting the item.

The gun works in single player and on multiplayer servers. The server needs the mod to run the portals, while players may install it or join without it. Multiplayer support was built with a datapack by Surfluff, which the author credits in the description.

Simple Portal Gun is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 12 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21, and the latest files target 1.21. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Craftable Portal Gun

    The Portal Gun is made from crafting ingredients, so players can get it without commands or creative mode.

  2. Offhand placement

    The gun is held in the offhand slot, leaving the main hand free for other items while aiming.

  3. Hotbar portal controls

    Slots 1 and 2 fire blue and orange portals, and slot 3 deletes the portals already placed.

  4. Multiplayer datapack support

    A datapack adds server-side support for multiplayer play, with credit to Surfluff for its creation.
