Simply craft a Portal Crystal with a Nether Star, Ender Pearls, Amethyst Shards, and Crying Obsidian. Rename the crystal in an anvil to name your portal network (e.g., &#8220;Home&#8221;, &#8220;Shop&#8221;, &#8220;Farm&#8221;), then right-click to place portals anywhere in the world. Portals are automatically numbered (Home #1, Home #2, etc.) and can be broken by punching to retrieve the crystal. Perfect for giving players personal fast-travel networks without admin intervention!<\/p>\n<p>### Portal Groups &#038; Smart Teleportation<br \/>\nCreate portal groups to organize your travel network. With 2 portals, teleport directly to your destination. With 3 or more portals, a beautiful GUI opens where players can choose where to go &#8211; complete with custom icons, coordinates, and world information.<\/p>\n<p>### Stunning Visual Effects<br \/>\nEvery portal comes alive with animated particle spirals and floating text displays showing the portal name. When players teleport, they&#8217;re greeted with particle bursts and enchanting sound effects that make every journey feel magical.<\/p>\n<p>### Custom Icons<br \/>\nPersonalize your portals with custom player head textures. Add any base64 texture to create unique icons for castles, shops, farms, or any destination in your world.<\/p>\n<p>### Easy to Use<br \/>\nSimple commands with full tab completion make portal creation effortless. Use absolute coordinates, relative positioning with `~`, or let tab completion suggest your current location. Creating a portal network has never been easier.<\/p>\n<p>### Flexible Configuration<br \/>\nAdjust portal hitboxes, teleportation cooldowns, message frequencies, and enable\/disable craftable portals to perfectly match your server&#8217;s needs. Everything is configurable without touching the code.<\/p>\n<p>### Multi-World Support<br \/>\nSeamlessly teleport between the Overworld, Nether, End, and any custom worlds.
