How to Return Home Safely From One-Way Painting Trips

Every dimensional painting only works in one direction, meaning jumping through a Nether or End painting will not generate an exit portal behind you. Without preparation, it is easy to get stranded far from home.

What to Pack Before Jumping

Before stepping through any Nether or End artwork, prepare a basic return kit in your inventory:

1. Craft an Overworld painting using the mod recipes and keep it with you at all times.

2. Bring at least 8 solid building blocks (such as cobblestone or planks) in case you arrive on an open ledge or island with no flat walls.

3. Carry a pickaxe so you can clear cramped underground terrain or retrieve blocks if you want to move your setup.

Placing Your Return Painting

When you are ready to head back to the Overworld:

1. Find a safe spot clear of hazards and build a flat surface that is at least 4 blocks wide and 2 blocks tall, or flatten an existing wall.

2. Place the Overworld painting onto the 4x2 wall space.

3. Run and jump straight through the center of the Overworld painting to teleport instantly home. If you plan to visit this area again later, leave the Overworld painting mounted on the wall for future trips.
