How to Place and Travel Through a Dimensional Painting

Dimensional paintings work differently from standard Minecraft portals because they mount directly onto flat walls like decorative artwork, while requiring a specific wall size to fit.

Preparing a Valid 4x2 Wall

Before trying to hang your portal art, craft the painting for your desired realm (Overworld, Nether, or the End) using the mod's crafting recipes at a crafting table. Next, build or clear a mounting surface:

1. Clear or construct a flat, solid wall area that is at least 4 blocks wide and 2 blocks tall.

2. Remove any torches, signs, or protruding blocks across that 4x2 space so nothing obstructs the frame.

3. Place the dimensional painting onto the wall. If you are building outdoors without walls, you can construct a freestanding 4x2 wooden stand to hold the painting upright.

Jumping Through the Artwork

Unlike obsidian portals, dimensional paintings do not require flint and steel or a waiting animation before sending you across realms.

1. Step a short distance back from the mounted wall to line up your approach.

2. Run forward and jump straight through the center of the painting.

3. Passing through the middle of the art teleports you instantly to the dimension shown on the canvas. Always check your inventory before jumping, since painting trips only operate in one direction.
