With the addition of Enhanced Portals, you can now create portals that other players can teleport to if they punch in the code of your portal! [h2]Making an Enhanced Portal[/h2] [h3]Building the Destination[/h3] First, you'll want to make a nether portal like you would normally, with obsidian surrounding a portal area, with one crucial difference: it can be any shape! Portals can actually be made out of more than obsidian too, but let's keep it simple for now. Since we're not actually making a real Nether portal, don't light it up with flint and steel. Before you place all the obsidian blocks, note that block at the bottom. It's a "Portal Modifier" block (#1346, see NEI for the recipe). It has to face where the glowy see-through portal material would be, which means that you can either put it below, on the side, or even behind. Make two of these portal modifier blocks, and place one in this portal. Once you've done that, you also will want to make two Dialling Upgrades, as well as one Dimensional Upgrade. Right click the modifier block with one of the dialling upgrades to install it. Right click the modifier block again without an upgrade in your hand to open its GUI. You'll be asked to set an identifier, which is the code that you will need later on to teleport here. In the screenshot above, the identifier consists of two blaze rods in that exact order and number, but you can and use something unique. This portal is ready. [h3]Making the Dialler[/h3] Let's make a dialler portal. First, you need to make either a Basic Dial Device, or a Dial Device. The basic one does not have a "bookmarks" function so you have to type in a code every time, so make the non-basic one if you can afford it. Build this portal like the other one, and place the dialler nearby. Install both the Dialler Upgrade and the Dimensional Upgrade (you need this if the other portal is in the same world) into the modifier. You do not need to actually set an identifier for this portal. [h3]Using the Dialler[/h3] Right click your Dial Device and enter the code to teleport to the destination. If you have the non-basic dialer, you can also add bookmarks as mentioned before, so you can quickly select a destination. With the non-basic dialer, you can also adjust how long the portal stays open (SHIFT and CTRL click to adjust the rate that the time changes).
