DatapacksJava
Crying Obsidian in Nether Portal Frame
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
What Does This Do
Allows Crying Obsidian to be used in the Nether Portal Frame. Use this to make slightly cooler portals or to quickly travel from Ruined Portals!
This datapack changes a single block tag added in Minecraft 26.3, and therefore should not cause any unexpected behaviour. It only adds Crying Obsidian as a possible block to make the portal. Regular Obsidian can still be used, though now you can mix-and-match!
There is not much more to say about it!
