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.

Welcome to Nether Portal Restrictor!

Created by Gigabit101, this mod was designed specifically to solve a portal-related issue in the Monumental Experience modpack—where Nether portals could be unintentionally generated through various means such as world generation, accidental portal lighting, and other mechanics.

Nether Portal Restrictor prevents unwanted Nether portal creation while still preserving access to the Nether dimension via the Dim Paintings: Nether Painting. This ensures better control over dimensional travel, maintaining the intended gameplay flow and reducing unexpected portal behavior in your world.

Forge & NeoForge.
