Immersive Portals Core Mechanics

Seamless Teleportation

Unlike vanilla Minecraft, which pauses the game to load a new dimension, Immersive Portals synchronizes chunks from the destination dimension in real-time. When an entity crosses the portal plane, its position is instantly updated without any transition screen.

Real-Time Rendering

Portals act as windows. If a portal is within the player's view, the mod renders the destination area inside the portal frame. This includes rendering entities, block updates, and even other portals visible through the first one (recursive rendering).

Cross-Portal Interaction

Players can interact with the world through a portal as if they were standing on the other side:

• Block Interaction: You can break or place blocks through a portal
• Entity Interaction: Projectiles like arrows and snowballs travel through portals without losing momentum
• Sound: Sounds from the other side of the portal can be heard, with volume adjusting based on proximity to the portal frame
