NetherPortalFix (Outdated Versions)
I don't know my version or loader
This project has been moved. Click here for Minecraft 1.21.2+ versions.
Ever played on a multiplayer server, built near other players and when returning from the Nether, surprisingly found yourself in another player's base? It's because of the 8:1 block ratio between the Nether and the Overworld. It's really weird though that you enter a portal in the overworld, and then when going back through where you came, come out of a different portal in the overworld. This mod fixes that issue.
It keeps track of what portals a player went through in order to ensure correct destinations when the player is going back through the same portals. The 1:8 ratio remains, portals just get smarter and remember where you came from.
This mod is available for NeoForge, Fabric and Forge. It requires Balm, which must be installed alongside the mod.
- As long as players use the same portal to return to the overworld, they will end up where they came from
- Only needs to be installed on the server (but works in singleplayer as well)
