Description
Easy Slice Portal
Make 1-block-tall Nether portals perfect for farms.
Place long, low portals (1×N, up to 21 wide) that use vanilla teleport logic—no weird commands, no custom dimensions.
✨ What it does
-
Builds 1 block high Nether portal “strips”, 1–21 blocks wide.
-
Sneak + Flint & Steel to light the strip in one click.
-
Vanilla teleport behavior: scaling (×8/÷8), cooldown, and portal linking are handled by Minecraft itself.
-
Leaves normal rectangular portals untouched.
-
Tiny, safe footprint: no custom blocks or entities.
🧱 How to build
-
Lay an obsidian floor where the portal should appear (1 block tall).
-
Put obsidian end caps on the left and right ends of the strip.
-
While sneaking, use Flint & Steel on the top face of any obsidian in the strip.
→ The whole 1×N portal is created at once.
Tip: You can build strips along the X or Z axis; the mod detects the correct orientation automatically.
🔁 Teleport is vanilla
This mod only places/keeps the 1-high portal blocks. Entering the portal uses the exact same code path as a normal Nether portal. If you have multiple portals nearby, linking follows vanilla rules (nearest portal, then portal creation when needed).
🧩 Compatibility
-
Minecraft: 1.21
-
Loader: Fabric
-
Requires: Fabric API
-
Sides: Works server-side. Clients don’t need the mod to connect, but having it on both sides is recommended for consistent sounds/particles.
⚙️ Design notes
-
A lightweight mixin prevents the 1-tall portal blocks from “popping” due to neighbor updates.
-
Normal rectangular portals behave exactly like vanilla.

❓FAQ
Q: Why am I sometimes linked to a different portal?
A: Vanilla linking rules apply. The game picks the nearest existing portal (or builds one) just like with normal portals.
Q: Can I go wider than 21 blocks?
A: 21 is the current safe cap for performance—if you need more, open an issue and we can consider a configurable limit.
