Portal Memory

Walk back through a nether portal and come out where you started.

What it is

In vanilla Minecraft a nether portal simply connects to whichever portal is closest on the other side. Build two bases near each other and they end up sharing one Nether portal — and walking back through it drops everybody at whichever base happens to be nearer. On Eternal Realms, portals remember: walk back into the portal you arrived through and you come out of the exact portal you left from.

How it works

  1. Every time you travel through a nether portal, the portal you come out of is linked — for you — to the one you went in.
  2. Step back into that portal and it takes you home: to your portal, not the nearest one.
  3. Links are personal. Your friends' trips never change where yours go, so a shared Nether hub works for everyone.

It works whether you walk through or ride a boat, horse, pig, strider or minecart — and with custom-shaped portals too.

Good to know

  • A brand-new portal links the vanilla way on its first trip; the way back is remembered from then on.
  • If the portal you came from has been broken, the trip falls back to normal vanilla linking.
  • Links refresh every time you travel, so the newest trip always wins. To start fresh, /portalfix forget wipes your links and portals go back to vanilla linking.
  • /portalfix list shows where each of your remembered portals leads.
