Purple Hell

By

A nether portal expansion, for those who seek to look into the purple abyss.

Obsidian remembers the fire that made it.

- Other portal mods: (Custom Nether Portals, Crying Portals, Nether Portal Spread): they do the same jobs. Keep one.
- Portal resource packs and retexture mods: whichever loads last paints the surface. The vortex and rim are still drawn on top.

Kindle a frame and something on the other side lifts its head. Purple Hell rebuilds the nether portal: any shape, standing or lying flat, a new face, and a price for lighting it.

- Gates of any shape: Any closed frame of obsidian lights, standing or flat, up to **1024** portal blocks.
- Weeping stone: Crying obsidian may be part of the frame. Each one adds a **1/3** chance that the gate ruptures the moment it opens; **three** make it certain, and louder;
- The omen: When a gate opens, everyone nearby hears it, and reads what it says;
- The spread: Every gate opened outside the Nether lets the Nether in. Grass, stone, sand and trees turn, nearest first, up to **32** blocks away. Break the gate and it stops; what was taken stays taken. Some lights are older than the wound (beacons and conduits stop the spread);
- A new face: One vortex across the whole gate, a burning rim along the frame, a brighter surface.
