UniverseGate
by GLordBinks
Players who want long-distance travel can use UniverseGate, a Fabric portal mod that links gates across dimensions, adds a Rift dimension and a power system.
What it does
Portal gates are built from 3x4 frames and fueled by a new energy system. Solar Panels generate power, Energy Condensers store it, and Conduits carry it between machines. Named portals can be dialed from a Portal Controller, which joins gates into a network that spans several dimensions.
The mod adds the Rift, a hostile, void-like dimension with its own resources such as Kelo Wood and Rift Crystals, guarded by dangerous Rift Shades. Advanced machinery covers Meteorological Control, a multi-block machine that controls the weather, and Rift Refining, which processes Rift materials into Dark Matter. The mod requires Fabric API. The client and the server both need it, and the project is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.

How it compares
Vanilla+ Disable Portals is server-side only, targets 1.21.5 and is released under the All rights reserved license, so it changes portals without adding a network. Custom End Portals is client and server, released under the MIT License and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, a narrower range than UniverseGate's 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. Hard Nether Portal is server-side only and released under the MIT License, but is built for 1.21.8 alone.
