Smaller Nether Portals (Legacy Fabric)

This minimalist mod enables the creation of smaller Nether portals with dimensions of 1×2, 1×3, and 2×2 blocks.

Features and Fixes

Minecraft has a known issue where teleporting through a small portal can place the player underneath the structure on the other side. Smaller Nether Portals automatically detects such situations and relocates the character in front of the portal instead of beneath it.

To prevent accidents, the mod analyzes blocks beneath the portal. If Netherrack, Soul Sand, or air is detected, these blocks are replaced with obsidian. An air gap is also created when necessary.

Construction Options

Corner blocks are optional:
