Ancient Gates

Find buried ancient gates, dial six-glyph addresses on a keyboard-style pedestal, and travel across the world.

Ancient Gates adds a gate network to Minecraft Bedrock. Explore, dig up half-buried gates, find addresses in chests, and dial them using the Galactic alphabet.

Features

  • Gates: craft a Gate Kit and build a gate, or find weathered gates buried in the world. Repair damaged ones with craftable ring blocks.
  • Dialing pedestal: a lectern-style console with a keyboard-style window of Galactic glyphs. Press six glyphs and the chevrons lock in one by one. You can also type the letters.
  • Addresses: tablets in villages, shipwrecks, pyramids, dungeons and ruins reveal an address to a far-away gate, shown in glyphs only. The Glyph Chart helps you translate them.
  • Travel: step through the animated portal and arrive next to the destination gate.
  • Sounds: original sound effects for dialing, opening and travelling.

How to play

  1. Craft a Gate Kit and a Dialing Pedestal, or look for a buried gate.
  2. Right-click the ground with the kit to build a gate, and place a pedestal near it.
  3. Right-click the pedestal and dial six glyphs.

Requirements: Bedrock 1.21.130 or newer. Both packs (behavior and resource) must be active. No Beta APIs or Experiments needed.

Beta notes: this is an early version, so expect bugs. Please report them in the comments with your game version and steps to reproduce.

Credits: the glyph font is the Standard Galactic Alphabet, a public-domain (CC0) font by standardgalactic. This add-on is an original project and isn’t affiliated with any TV show or franchise.
