simpleportals reloaded
Simpleportals adds linked portal frames that let players travel long distances, including between dimensions, using matching corner blocks as addresses.
What it does
Each portal is built as a frame between 3x3 and 7x7 using Portal Frame blocks, with four corner blocks chosen from the available types. A second portal built with the exact same corner blocks, in any place in the world, becomes its destination. The order of the corner blocks matters, and two portals whose corner counts differ do not connect.
A portal is activated by right-clicking one of the inner frame blocks with a Portal Activator, or with flint and steel, in the same way as a Nether portal. Each use costs power, and a portal stores up to 64 units by default. Power comes from throwing ender pearls into the portal, and the cost and capacity can be adjusted in the config. A Power Gauge placed next to a comparator or chest-style storage shows how much power a portal holds. The mod was originally written by Zarathul and has been ported to Forge by its current author.
Key features
Corner-block addresses
Each portal address is set by the corner blocks it uses, so players choose matching blocks to reach a specific partner.
Cross-dimension travel
Linked portals can sit in different dimensions, so players can travel long distances without a long walk.
Power storage
Portals consume power per use and store it, with defaults of 1 per use and 64 maximum, both set in the config.
Power gauge display
A Power Gauge replaces the frame block, so the stored power of a portal can be read with a comparator.
