Warp Portals

Create Warp Portals between your favorite locations. This datapack is made to be balanced, simple to use and lightweight. Warp Portals supports Multiplayer and uses the best practices for datapacks to insure compatibility with other datapacks. This datapack doesn't use chunk loading, unlike most teleportation datapacks, which makes it lightweight no matter how many portals you have.

Warp Portals Demo

Usage

Forging the Portal Wand

To create a Warp Portal, you need to forge a Portal Wand. To do so, you need to drop an Ender Pearl in a Crying Obsidian block. They will turn into a portal and and the Crying Obsidian will be the destination of the portal created by the wand.

Forging Wand Demo

Creating the Portal

To create a portal, you need to right-click above a Crying Obsidian block with the Portal Wand. The portal will be created and stepping into it will teleport you to the place where that Wand was forged. You can add more Crying Obsidian or Obsidian blocks around the portal to make it bigger, they will also teleport you when you step on them, you can use any shape, pads, rectangles, etc.

Destroying the Portal

To destroy the portal, simply break the Crying Obsidian block in the entrance (where you see the particles) and the portal will be destroyed. The Ender Pearl used to create the wand will drop above.

Installation

After downloading the Warp Portals vX.Y.Z.zip file (vX.Y.Z is the version number), you can install it by one of the following methods:

  • New SinglePlayer World: When creating a new world, in the More tab, click on Data Packs, and drop the Warp Portals vX.Y.Z.zip file. The datapack will appear in the Available list, click in the arrow to add it to the Selected list and click Done.
  • Existing SinglePlayer World: Click Edit in the world selection screen, click Open World Folder, go to the datapacks folder and drop the Warp Portals vX.Y.Z.zip file.
  • Multiplayer Server: Drop the Warp Portals vX.Y.Z.zip file in the datapacks folder inside the world folder.

Uninstalling

To uninstall Warp Portals, execute the command /function warp_portals:uninstall in the world where you installed the datapack, then remove the Warp Portals vX.Y.Z.zip file from the datapacks folder.

Note that Minecraft doesn't provide the necessary tools to actually remove the entirety of a datapack. This function will break (and drop the Ender Pearls) of all portals in currently loaded chunks.
