YUNG’s Better Portals Mod (1.16.5) – Making Portals More Immersive

YUNG’s Better Portals Mod (1.16.5) enhances vanilla portals to make them more engaging and immersive. This mod aims to reinvent the vanilla Nether portal system. Instead of creating a dumb ol’ obsidian rectangle and lighting it on fire, Nether portals now come in the form of Dimensional Rifts, which you’ll find scattered deep underground. You’ll have to find one of these Rifts in order to get to the Nether – but be careful, because it’s now a one-way trip.

To get back from the Nether, you’ll have to search for a Monolith. These are new, semi-rare structures that can be easily spotted from far away thanks to the beams they shoot into the sky. The block at the center of each Monolith that shoots this beam is called a Reclaimer, and it’s the key to returning to the Overworld. However, the Reclaimer won’t do much without a little power. In order to power it, you’ll have to place a gold block on each of its four sides – something that shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off in the Nether. Once powered, the Reclaimer has the ability to lift you back into the Overworld.

Features:

Make the Nether portal system more engaging and immersive. Should reward exploration rather than rely on an arbitrary obsidian rectangle.
Simulate dimension stacking. By having Dimensional Rifts spawn at the bottom of the world (and teleport players close to the top of the Nether), this mod simulates dimension stacking in an intuitive, vanilla-friendly way. Time to bring your Hellevators to Minecraft.
