Building Custom Dimension Warp Pads with Command Blocks

On multiplayer servers or custom maps, you can replace obsidian Nether portals and End portal frames with clean, instant warp pads by running /tpd inside vanilla Command Blocks.

Wiring an Interdimensional Pad

Ensure command blocks are enabled in your world settings, then give yourself one with /give @p minecraft:command_block.

1. Dig a two-block-deep pit where you want your teleporter pad and place the Command Block at the bottom.

2. Open the Command Block interface, keep it on Impulse, Unconditional, and Needs Redstone, and enter: /tpd @p <location> <dimension>.

3. Replace <location> with exact arrival coordinates (for example, 10 100 10) and <dimension> with minecraft:overworld, minecraft:the_nether, or minecraft:the_end.

4. Place a decorative floor block directly above the Command Block and put a Pressure Plate or Button on top.

Adding a Return Teleporter

When a player steps on the plate or presses the button, @p targets them and sends them straight into the chosen dimension. Because /tpd bypasses vanilla portal mechanics, the game will not generate a return portal at the destination. Step onto your new pad first to visit the arrival coordinates, clear out any hazards, and build a second Command Block pad pointing back to your hub coordinates in minecraft:overworld so survival players have a way home.
