Gateway Of Doom FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start a battle?
Throw a Gateway Eye (the special starter item) onto flat, safe ground just like you'd throw an Eye of Ender. The mod will scan the area and open a floating portal if the spot is suitable. Waves of mobs will then begin spawning from the portal.
Where do I find the starter eyes?
Gateway Eyes spawn inside structure chests throughout your world and drop from mobs when they die. You can also use the command `/doom eye give ` to give eyes to yourself or other players on a server.
Can I customize the battles?
Yes, use the in-game editor accessed via `/doom` to change difficulty, mob types, wave count, timer length, and portal appearance without restarting the server. All changes take effect immediately.
What happens if I fail the battle?
If you don't defeat all mobs before the timer runs out, you'll suffer bad status effects as a penalty. Winning before time expires rewards you with valuable loot instead.
Do mobs stay near the portal or can they run away?
The mod forces all spawned monsters to stay close to the portal so they cannot escape and hide. This keeps the battle focused and prevents mobs from spreading across your world.
Can I walk away from the arena during a battle?
Yes, the battle continues running even if you leave the area. The boss bar will still track your progress and time remaining no matter how far you travel.
Can I add peaceful animals like cows or pigs to battles?
Yes, the in-game editor lets you force passive mobs to fight back if you add them to your custom battle setup. They'll behave like hostile mobs for the duration of the arena.
What are the three difficulty levels?
The mod includes easy, medium, and hard difficulties tied to the Overworld, Nether, and End respectively. Each tier increases mob strength and complexity to match the theme.
Will mobs spawn inside walls, lava, or water?
No, the mod scans the ground before spawning any monsters to ensure they never appear inside solid blocks, lava, or water. This prevents mobs from being trapped or instantly dying.
Do special bosses appear in battles?
Yes, the mod spawns special boss mobs at the end of each battle as an extra challenge. You can customize which bosses appear through the in-game editor.
