Echo Gates: Ancient City Fast Travel

Crafting Sculk Hearts

Craft a Sculk Heart by combining an Echo Shard, an Ender Pearl, and any Raw Meat (or Rotten Flesh).

Activating Echo Gates

Use a Sculk Heart on a dormant Ancient City Portal to activate it and create an Echo Gate.

Custom Portal Frames

Echo Gates can be created from any rectangular Reinforced Deepslate frame (similar to Nether portals). Since Reinforced Deepslate isn't obtainable in vanilla survival, this method of portal creation is intended for modpacks that provide ways to acquire or craft it.

By default, stepping through an Echo Gate teleports you to a random active Echo Gate in the world.

Linking Gates with Echo Shards

You can create connections from one Echo Gate to another using Echo Shards:

1. Right-click an Echo Gate with an Echo Shard to store its location

2. Right-click a different Echo Gate with the stored shard to link them together

3. The linked gate will now always teleport to the stored destination instead of a random gate

Unlinking Gates

Right-click a linked Echo Gate with a Fermented Spider Eye to remove its connection and return it to random teleportation.
