Warp Portals ─ Portal teleportation

by gabriel-pinheiro

Warp Portals lets players create teleport portals between chosen locations, using a Portal Wand and Crying Obsidian blocks.

What it does

A portal is made by dropping an Ender Pearl onto a Crying Obsidian block, then right-clicking above a Crying Obsidian block with a Portal Wand, which is crafted from the Ender Pearl. The Crying Obsidian block that receives the wand becomes the destination, and stepping onto the portal created by the wand teleports the player to that place. Extra Crying Obsidian or Obsidian blocks placed around a portal enlarge the stepping area, and portal shapes such as pads or rectangles are supported. Breaking the Crying Obsidian block at a portal entrance destroys it, with particles showing that the portal is gone.

The mod is a server-side datapack, so it works in an existing singleplayer world and on a multiplayer server, where it is installed by dropping the Warp Portals zip file into the datapacks folder inside the world folder. It is built with practices meant to stay compatible with other datapacks, and it avoids loading chunks, a trait that keeps it lightweight. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 16 release versions, 1.18 – 1.21, and is not open source; all rights are reserved.

Key features

  1. Portal creation with a wand

    Players craft a Portal Wand from an Ender Pearl and use it on Crying Obsidian to set a portal destination.

  2. Adjustable portal size

    Adding Crying Obsidian or Obsidian blocks around a portal makes its stepping area bigger.

  3. Destroying portals

    Breaking the Crying Obsidian entrance removes the portal, and particles mark where it stood.

  4. Command-based uninstall

    A world function removes the portals and returns the Ender Pearls they drop, before the datapack is deleted.
