Immersive Portals (for Forge) for Minecraft

Review Immersive Portals (for Forge)

Various Portals in the Game

Which portals do you use for teleportation in the game? In vanilla mode, you have access to the Nether portal and the End portal, and these are the main “structures” that allow you to move from one dimension to another. But third-party mod developers offer more universal means of transportation, while also improving the vanilla mechanics so players can interact with such constructions more conveniently. In this material, we will tell you about a universal mod that changes the standard system of interaction with portals in the game, allowing you to see other worlds through them and teleport much faster without a loading screen. And that’s far from all the options awaiting you here…

The Immersive Portals mod adds more realistic portals to the game, through which you can travel to other dimensions. Now you won’t have to watch the loading screen of another world and wait for the process. If the user has a weak PC, such innovations allow them to teleport faster without getting stuck in portals. At the same time, dimension stacks will be available, layered on top of each other and located nearby. That is, visually you can see from the overworld that the Nether has spawned beneath you. And if you look up, you will see the End with floating islands. Now all worlds will be connected, and this mechanic will completely change how players perceive the game visually.

The main task of the mod is to offer a new, seamless way of teleportation between different Minecraft dimensions, so players move more realistically, don’t freeze during loading effects, and at the same time enjoy the aesthetic pleasure of the gameplay. In fact, many unique features are added here, and if you see this mod, you should definitely install it, as it’s useful for almost any player, both in survival and in various modpacks.

Advantages and Features of the Immersive Portals Mod:

· No loading screen. The main problem many players faced was the long loading time when teleporting between dimensions. During this time, you could easily be killed, especially if the game froze. Now any movement between dimensions takes just seconds, and it puts almost no load on the user’s PC;

· Displaying other worlds. Using portals in the Immersive Portals add-on, you will visually see what is in the other world, as if looking through a window. The system displays all actions of mobs, players, and the environment. It’s a completely different experience, hard to describe in words. It’s better to go into the game once and see it, feel it yourself;

· Spatial portals. The game will feature spatial portals that change your perception by 180 degrees! For example, you approach a block and see a house rotated by 90 degrees. When you enter it, you’re inside the structure, but visually flipped. And the world you came from is now upside down. An interesting mechanic that will “blow the minds” of many players;

· Dimension stacks. With this mod, you can activate another important option: Dimension Stack, which lets you create the End and the Nether above the overworld. That is, you move through the normal world, but if you dig down, you’ll eventually reach the Nether, and if you go high up, you’ll see floating islands representing the End. No teleportation, no portals—just move as you want. It is created when generating a new map, so it’s very important not to forget to activate this option;

· Realistic mirrors. This add-on also gives the player new items—realistic mirrors that reflect you and everyone around you. Mostly used for decoration, but they look very impressive. Created with flint and steel plus glass blocks;

· Accessible Wikipedia. The developer of this mod made a separate help section, if you don’t understand some mechanics or can’t teleport between dimensions. Everything available in this add-on is described there.

The game mechanics will change dramatically, but overall there is no imbalance. You can easily move between worlds, see in portals everything happening in the End, Nether, or overworld. If you want to make a high-quality transition, you can activate dimension stacks, but this mechanic takes some getting used to, since it can literally make your head spin—and that’s a serious problem for players. It looks very impressive and works correctly in all versions. Moreover, it’s useful for weak computers: now you don’t need to wait dozens of seconds for the world to load—just use any portal and instantly get where you need to go.

This system encourages players to use portals more often and enjoy the gameplay. If you create structures that rotate 90 degrees, you can shoot cool videos: in front of you is a small patch of land with a building, and when you approach it, you’re instantly inside, as the system teleports you immediately. Be sure to try making mirrors. In Minecraft, this innovation will be popular, and you don’t need shaders or heavy add-ons: everything is as simple and clear as possible. In this material we tried to add more screenshots, but it’s impossible to convey the full atmosphere of this mod—it can only be experienced!

This functionality is suitable not only for single-player maps but also for multiplayer servers, to engage players in the project and provide them with interesting gameplay. Create unique portals, disable loading before teleportation, let them craft beautiful mirrors and use them as decoration. In the comments, you can write whether you used this add-on in your build or not, and what portals you created with this toolset.
