How it works
Your server stays yours. You don’t need to move into someone else’s network. A portal works like a Nether portal: walk in, and the game sends you to another server. Line 1 is always Portal. Line 2 is where it goes: Random for a surprise visit, or a friend’s IP and port for a fixed destination. Read below for the details.
- Works on PC (Java) and on phone / console (Bedrock, via Geyser)
- If your world is reachable from the internet, it can show up on the map below
- Need travel only inside your own server? Build wool portals — no other server needed

Join the map in three steps
You need a Paper server (version 1.21 or newer). Then install this plugin and allow guests to arrive.
2. Allow players to arrive from other worlds
3. Restart and check

How to build and use a portal
Two kinds: to another server, or inside your own world. To go through — stand on the pressure plate.
To another server
Build a frame (~3×4), put a sign on the top middle block, and a pressure plate inside. Same layout as the wool portals below.

On the sign: line 1 always Portal, line 2 = where to go:
Random server
Finds an open world once and remembers it. Want another? Break the sign and place a new one.
To a friend’s server
Line 2 = IP:port (or just the address if the port is the default 25565). On their side they write your address the same way.
Optional: link with a code
Links two specific portals by server and portal code. On A leave line 3 empty — you get a code; on B write Portal / Pair / that code. For most people IP + port is easier.
How to go through
- Stand on the pressure plate and wait a moment.
- Only if the server requires it: type
/mvp readyonce in chat (allows one-way travel to a public world that has no portal back to yours). Off by default in config (ready.confirm: false) — you can turn confirmation on so players don’t get lost and know there is no return portal. If the other side has a return portal, this confirm is not needed.
Inside this server (wool)
Use this when you need portals on the same server — travel between locations, or special spots inside your world. Frame of one wool color, wall sign on top, plate inside.

Sign: line 1 = name, line 2 = channel number (0–9999). Same color + same channel = linked (A→B→C→A). Step on the plate or press a button under the sign.
