Description
Rift Gun
Tear open space and travel your way.
Rift Gun is a sci-fi portal gun mod that lets you create linked portals for fast travel across the Minecraft world — and beyond it.
Instead of being just another teleport command disguised as an item, Rift Gun turns teleportation into a gameplay system. Portals exist physically in the world, can transport entities, and can be customized through different mechanics and upgrades.
Features
Portal Gun
Create a pair of linked portals and travel instantly between distant locations.
Portals are placed directly into the world and can be used repeatedly while they remain active.
Cross-Dimensional Travel
Portals aren't limited to a single dimension.
With the proper resources, Rift Gun can connect locations across dimensions, turning long-distance and interdimensional travel into something you can build around rather than something hidden behind menus or commands.
Flexible Portal Placement
Portals can adapt to different environments instead of always appearing in one fixed orientation.
Depending on how and where you fire, portals can be placed on walls, floors, ceilings, and other suitable surfaces.
Entity Transportation
Portals aren't just for players.
Players, dropped items, and vehicles can travel through portals by default. Passive mobs, hostile mobs, bosses, and projectiles require their corresponding transit modules.
This allows portals to become part of transportation systems, builds, farms, and more.
Portal Upgrades
The portal gun can be expanded with modules that modify or unlock different portal behaviors.
Rather than making every ability available immediately, Rift Gun integrates advanced portal mechanics into normal survival progression.
Portal Resources
Powerful teleportation requires resources.
Portal fluids and related materials are used to support more advanced forms of travel, including dimensional teleportation, giving the system an actual survival cost instead of unlimited free teleportation.
Configurable Gameplay
Many portal mechanics are configurable, allowing the experience to range from convenient transportation to a more restrictive survival-focused system.
Built for Survival
Rift Gun is designed around the idea that teleportation should be powerful without completely bypassing Minecraft's progression.
The goal is to make portals useful enough to change how you explore and build, while still giving advanced capabilities meaningful requirements and limitations.
Use them as shortcuts between bases, transportation infrastructure, dimensional gateways — or as part of more creative portal-based contraptions.
How to Start
JEI/NEI/EMI is recommended for viewing recipes.
Throw copper, rotten flesh, and lapis lazuli into water to create **Unstable Portal Fluid** and begin your journey!
Fill your Portal Gun and start opening rifts!
Compatibility
Rift Gun has no required runtime dependency besides NeoForge.
