About this project

What does Forgotten Gateways add?

Forgotten Gateways

Discover the forgotten. Restore the passage.

What if traveling to another dimension required more than simply building a portal?

Forgotten Gateways transforms dimensional travel into an exploration-driven adventure. Instead of constructing portals wherever you want, you must venture into the world, discover ancient ruined gateways, repair their damaged structures, and restore their power.

Every forgotten portal becomes a new opportunity for exploration.

Features

Discover Ancient Gateways

  • Explore your world to discover naturally generated ruined portals.

  • Find forgotten gateways hidden throughout the landscape.

  • Turn ancient ruins into functional passages between dimensions.

Repair and Restore

  • Repair damaged portal frames using the appropriate materials.

  • Restore ancient gateways to unlock dimensional travel.

  • Give naturally generated portal structures a meaningful purpose.

No More Easy Portals

  • Building a portal from scratch is no longer enough.

  • Only eligible naturally generated portal structures can be activated.

  • Portal locations become valuable landmarks worth discovering and protecting.

Connected Portal Travel

  • Travel between dimensions through restored gateways.

  • Return through linked portals instead of generating unwanted new portals.

  • Establish important travel routes across your world.

Optional Mod Compatibility

Forgotten Gateways also supports additional dimensional adventures when compatible mods are installed.

Confirmed integrations:

  • The Aether

  • The Twilight Forest

These mods are optional and are not required to use Forgotten Gateways.

Additional integrations may be added in future updates.

Why Forgotten Gateways?

In traditional Minecraft, dimensional travel is often just a matter of gathering materials and building a frame.

Forgotten Gateways changes that experience.

Finding a portal becomes an achievement. Repairing it becomes a goal. Activating it opens the path to another world.

Whether you're exploring alone or building a multiplayer world with friends, gateways become important discoveries rather than disposable structures.

Explore. Discover. Repair. Travel.
