CurseForge downloads Minecraft 26.1 to 26.3 Fabric, Forge, NeoForge Client and server Java 25 Requires Mycel Docs on the wiki License

Mycel is required: this mod needs the Mycel library to run. Install Mycel next to it, for the same Minecraft version and loader. Download it from CurseForge.

About the mod

Colored Nether Portals Sneak and right-click a portal with an empty hand to open a color menu: solid colors from the 16 dyes or any custom color, gradients through up to 16 colors, rainbows, color cycles and pulses, with a live preview. Or just right-click a portal with a dye. Gradients fade smoothly across the whole portal, the floating particles and the swirl over your screen while you travel take the portal's color too. On a server with the mod, colors are saved with the world and every player with the mod sees them. On a server without it, they are kept on your computer and only you see them. Vanilla players see the usual purple. Docs:

Config

Config table: enabled, true, both, Whether the mod does anything at all; allowAnimated, true, server, Allow rainbow, color cycle and pulse portals; dyeColoring, true, server, Right-clicking a portal with a dye colors it; consumeDye, true, server, Coloring with a dye uses it up (not in creative); debug, false, both, Log color changes and syncing

How it works

The portal model has two layers on one plane: vanilla's texture and a grey swirl split into 4x4 cells. Block tints show exactly one layer per block, each cell in its own color. The swirl (scripts/make_portal_texture.py) is drawn from math, not copied from Minecraft. Particles are colored by wrapping the portal particle provider; the screen effect by rewriting the frames of the model's particle tex

Anonymous stats

Colored Nether Portals sends anonymous stats (how many portals get colored, in which modes and with which dyes, and errors in its own code) to its FastStats project through Mycel. It follows Mycel's choice exactly: the one-time screen in your own game, shareStats / shareErrors in config/mycel.json on servers.
