This article is about the physical portal block. For the portal structure, see Ancient Teleportation. For the portal block used for transport within the Nowhere dimension, see Portal (Nowhere). |
"Nether Portal" redirects here. See the mcw:Nether Portal (block) page on the Minecraft Wiki for the vanilla Minecraft Nether portal block, or the mcw:Nether portal page on the Minecraft Wiki for the Nether Portal structure.
Portals are blocks that transport the player to another dimension upon making contact with them.
Obtaining[ | ]
Most portal blocks to dimensions can be generated in the world by using a realmstone on the carved rune of power on a correctly built portal structure. Doing so will consume the realmstone and generate a 3 block long, 1 block wide, and 4 block tall portal inside the portal structure frame.
Portal blocks cannot be obtained in the player's inventory in survival mode through any means.
Natural generation[ | ]
Entering a dimension[ | ]
When the player enters most dimensions for the first time, portal blocks will spawn as a part of a portal structure in the dimension that the player has entered. The portal blocks generate 3 block long, 1 block wide and 4 block tall inside the portal frame.
Once generated, a new portal will not generate unless the player deletes the old portal or travels far enough away from the old portal's location.
Other generation[ | ]
Runandor portals generate in runic portal hollows.
A 2x2 set of Nowhere Portals generates in the Nowhere hub.
Usage[ | ]
Portal blocks are used to take the player to other dimensions. If the config option is enabled, they will also take any entities that make contact with them to the other dimension (except for the Nowhere Portal).
When placed into a portal frame by a realmstone, portals are seemingly indestructible, not being breakable by hand. The only way to break the blocks is to break the portal frame, which will remove all portal blocks within the frame.
Portals placed without a valid frame will disappear when punched, or if another portal is placed next to one.
Mechanics[ | ]
This article contains out of date information. |
When a player or entity touches a portal block from any side, it will transport the player (or most entities) to a different dimension instantly.
If the player is in any dimension other than the dimension a portal block corresponds to, the player will be transported to the dimension the portal corresponds to, and the portal's coordinates in the other dimension will be saved. If the player is in the dimension the portal corresponds to, and enters that dimension's portal, it will teleport the player to the coordinates of the other portal in the other dimension, even if the portal in the other dimension is destroyed.
For example, touching a Haven Portal from the Overworld will transport the player to the Haven. Touching the same portal from the Haven will transport the player to the Overworld.
Unlike vanilla Nether portals, which use a 1:8 block scale, the mod's portals use a 1:1 block scale. Thus, entering a portal from the overworld should take the player to similar coordinates in the other dimension. This also applies to the Nether portal made with the Nether Realmstone.
