VisualizeGate
by ppapkajiwara
VisualizeGate, a client-side Fabric mod, draws Nether portal links in the world so a player can see where a portal leads before building it.
What it does
The mod renders the Nether portal network as an in-world wireframe with color-coded link status: Normal, One-sided, Offset, Unlinked and Conflict. A player can back-calculate the exact spot for a matching gate in the other dimension from a target coordinate, and a prediction line appears while flint and steel is held. Obsidian frame guidance shows up as the frame is built. Portal linking follows a 1:8 coordinate ratio and a search area, and the mod displays those results directly.
The mod runs entirely on the client, and a player can use it on a single-player world or on a multiplayer server. Nothing needs to be installed on the server, and the mod works with chunks the player has already loaded. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 26.2 and earlier versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric file release-v1.0.14 for 26.2 published on 2026-06-25.
Key features
Point-cloud portal view
A navigable 3D point cloud of nearby gates and terrain can be rotated, zoomed and panned.
Conflict and offset warnings
Two portals competing for one destination are flagged, and a placed block that would be pulled into an existing portal turns red.
Safe build position search
Conflict resolution searches for a spot where a new gate will not be stolen, and marks it with a green box.
Compact HUD dock
A docked mini-radar shows the current dimension, FPS, live gate counts and offsets, and expands to a full color legend.
