Portal Restrict Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I lock a portal so players need an item to enter?
Place the portal frame, then use the mod's configuration to assign a specific item as the key for that dimension. When a player tries to enter without holding that item, they'll see a message and be blocked from passing through.
Can I require different items for different portals?
Yes, you can set a unique item requirement for each portal or dimension. This lets you create a progression system where players must find or craft specific items before advancing to new worlds.
What happens if a player tries to enter a locked portal without the key item?
The player will be blocked from entering and will see a message telling them what item is required. They remain in their current dimension and can try again once they obtain the correct item.
Can multiple different items unlock the same portal?
Yes, the mod allows you to set multiple items as valid keys for a single portal, giving players flexibility in how they progress.
How do I remove a portal lock or unlock all dimensions?
You can disable restrictions through the mod's configuration file or remove specific portal locks individually. Check your config settings to clear requirements for one or all portals.
Does this mod work with modded dimensions and portals?
The mod is designed to work with standard Minecraft portals and most modded dimensions, but compatibility depends on how the modded portal is coded. Test with your specific mods to confirm.
Will this mod slow down my server?
No, Portal Restrict Mod runs with minimal performance impact since it only checks items when players attempt to enter portals.
Can I use this mod in single-player or only on servers?
The mod works in both single-player and multiplayer, giving you control over portal access in any world type.
What if a player has the key item in their inventory but not in their hand?
Players must be actively holding the required item in their hand when entering the portal; having it elsewhere in their inventory will not work.
How do I set up a progression chain where portals unlock in order?
Lock each portal with a different item, then design your world so players find or craft those items in a specific sequence. For example, require item A for the Nether, then require item B (found in the Nether) for the End.
