Skylands Portal
by ItsElix99
Skylands Portal lets players travel to a Skylands dimension above the clouds through a portal they can light with a single-use item.
What it does
The mod adds a portal that carries players to a Skylands dimension, which the author describes as an alternate world above the clouds for exploring and building. The portal is lit with a light item that works only once per use, so each portal is a one-way start. Players can craft a Golden Stick from one stick and one gold ingot in a shapeless recipe, then build a Magic Wand Skylands from two Golden Sticks and one diamond.
Glass Config API and StationAPI are required, so both must be installed alongside Skylands Portal. Mod Menu Babric is optional and adds an in-game configuration screen. The mod runs on Babric and ModLoader as well as Fabric, and it is published for game versions b1.6.6 – b1.8.1, with files for b1.6.6, b1.7.3 and b1.8.1. Snapshot builds are published as well. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed.

How it compares
Skylands UpPort is published under the MIT License, but its source is not open, and it covers 1.19.2 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Skylands over the Sea is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.18.2 – 1.21.10, with only the server required and the client optional. Skylands Portal runs on Fabric, Babric and ModLoader for b1.6.6 – b1.8.1, so it targets an older range of game versions.
