I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Enhanced Nether Portals expands world generation by introducing unique ruined Nether portal variants that bring small fragments of the Nether into the Overworld. Each portal structure is surrounded by its own themed zone—featuring Nether blocks, vegetation, terrain textures, and atmosphere—making it feel like part of the Nether has begun leaking through.

These features generate naturally and blend smoothly into the surrounding terrain without replacing or modifying vanilla structures. Every ruined portal variant includes carefully balanced loot and layout designs to keep survival progression fair while adding more depth and variety to exploration.

The mini-biomes are decorative and immersive world-gen additions, offering fresh landmarks to stumble upon as you travel. The mod does not change Nether mechanics or alter core gameplay; it simply enriches the Overworld with new portal themes that feel consistent with vanilla design.
