Ingredients:

• x1 End Rod
• x1 Portal Component

Overview:

The portal connector is probably the block you will craft the most of. It is what is used to connect portal cores to portal hubs.

The portal connector can connect to any other portal connector on any side.

The portal connector has two states (It will start in the off state):

Off (not connected to system)

On (Connected to system)

Portal Connectors will connect to ports on blocks that look like this:

If a block that can connect to a Portal Connector is placed next to one, it will turn off and connect to the block. This will also turn off all other Portal Connectors and Portal Cores connected to that line.

Ingredients:

• x1 Portal Component
• x4 Portal Connectors

Overview:

This is the block that all connectors lead back to. It is the second part of the Portal Hub. It will go underneath the Portal Hub block, and it required for it to work. Portal connectors can be attached to all sides except the top of the block. Each seperate port on the Portal Gatherer is a seperate line, meaning if one gets turned off by some means, the other lines won't (unles you connect them to each other, but why would you do that?).

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• x7 Portal Components
• x1 Portal Core
• x1 Portal Gatherer

Overview:

This is probably the most important block in the mod. It is what allows you to activate and control your portals. In order for it to work it must be placed on top of a portal gatherer. More details on what it can de are below.

The portal frame is the most impotrant part, hence there can be no portal without a frame of one. They are made with one Portal Core and several Portal Frames.

Structure

Size

The frame can be as small as 3x3 (for a portal size of 1x1) to 10x10 (for a portal size of 8x8)

Portal Size Grid. 

Bottom left is smallest, top right is largest

Shape and Placement of Blocks

A portal must be rectangular with ALL corners filled. No skipping out on these edges!

In order for a portal to function it must have a Portal Core. The Portal Core can be placed only on the bottom of the portal and on no corners.

Examples:

Possible places for Portal Core are labeled in green concrete

5x5 portal:

3x3 portal

4x4 portal

9x4 portal
