Help with making custom portal triggers.

Hello. I'm currently making a mod revolving around a personal project of mine in the works, and I want to know how to give the custom portal igniter extra properties. The default properties of the igniter is that it doesn't do much besides activating the portal to the custom dimension, and it is frustrating since I want to:

  • Give this portal igniter a durability of 96
  • Make it immune to fire/lava
  • Make it actually act like an igniter
  • And give it a different registry ID, so instead of it being "tartarean_voxels:tartarus," it actually says "tartanite_and_steel."

I'd like a step-by-step process on how to do this as well, since the portal igniter only has 64 durability points on its own, and doesn't do much.

Your best bet for this would probably be to create a separate item. If you use the "Custom Dimension Portal Igniter" or something procedure template in an "On Item Right-Clicked" procedure in the item, you can make it ignite the portal, and then you can add additional functionality from there.

Hope this helped! :)

I created a separate item, so problem 1 is solved. Problem 2 is figuring out how to make it actually ignite a Tartarus portal (it uses a custom block, not a pre-existing one by the way).
