Portal Corner Link

PortalCornerLink by MajinGuil

Control Nether portal linking with colored glazed terracotta corner markers.

What It Does

This mod lets you control which Nether portals connect to each other. Instead of relying on unpredictable vanilla portal linking, you create unique “signatures” for your portals using glazed terracotta blocks placed at their corners.

How It Works

It’s really simple:

• Place glazed terracotta at the corners of your portal frame — you don’t need all four, even one or two corners work!
• Do the same pattern on the destination portal
• Travel through — the portal with the best matching corner pattern is selected
• No corners at all? The mod defaults to vanilla behavior — fully backward compatible!

Pattern Matching Rules

• You don’t need all 4 corners — partial patterns are supported, more matches = higher priority
• Horizontal orientation doesn’t matter — patterns are matched even when mirrored
• Tiebreaker — if multiple portals match equally, vanilla distance priority is used
• All 16 glazed terracotta colors work — mix and match to create unique signatures
