The Twilight Forest Unofficial
With The Twilight Forest Unofficial installed, players can travel into a fantasy forest dimension through a portal built from natural blocks and water.
What it does
The mod is an unofficial port made by IAFENVoy and marlester-dev, and it requires Fabric API. The fork ships with unofficial sounds, and players who want their own audio must supply it through a resource pack. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its license is custom and the code is not open source, though source code and an issue tracker are public.
The portal can be assembled in many shapes and sizes, with the smallest size as the minimum requirement. It works when the frame is built from grass, dirt, podzol, mycelium or similar blocks, with flowers, mushrooms, leaves or plants on top of the grass, and when the frame is completely filled with water. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Fabric file, 1.4.7, was published on 2024-12-21.
Key features
Portal in varied shapes
The portal frame can take many shapes and sizes, as long as the block and water conditions are met.
Natural frame blocks
Grass, dirt, podzol and mycelium form the frame, with flowers, mushrooms and plants placed on top of the grass.
Water-filled frame
The portal activates only when the frame is completely filled with water.
Replacement sound set
The fork uses older unofficial sounds, which resource packs can override with custom audio.
