Upgrading Portals with Runes for Speed, Range, and Dimensions

Standard custom portals connect locations within a default working radius in the same dimension. When your bases are far apart, located in different dimensions, or when you want faster travel, you can upgrade your portals using the mod's rune system.

Attaching Runes to a Portal Frame

Runes act as physical upgrades for an existing portal structure. To install one, hold the rune in your hand and place it onto any block of the portal frame. You do not need to rebuild or re-activate the portal from scratch—attaching the rune directly to the frame applies its effect to that portal.

Choosing the Right Rune Upgrade

Different runes enhance specific aspects of portal travel:

• Haste Rune: Speeds up travel by providing instant teleportation when you step into the portal.
• Gate Rune: Enables cross-dimension linking, allowing you to connect matching portals across different dimensions such as the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.
• Enhancer, Strong Enhancer, and Infinity Runes: Expand the working radius of your portal so distant portals can link across wider distances.

If two matching portals fail to display linked particle effects because your bases are too far apart or in separate dimensions, attach the appropriate range rune or Gate Rune to the frame so the connection can establish.
