Hello! I am making a new dimension for java 1.21.1 and I want to make the portal basically be an exact replica of the end portal but with different colors, different eyes for the portal and obviously a different dimension, I tried using the tutorial that was posted by someone and their procedures weren't working and I am having issues making it into an end portal but for my dimension, If anyone knows the procedures for the eyes and a horizontal portal please any help is appreciated!
Use one of the blocks as a 'controller' block or use a 'air' block in the centre of the portal to be the controller. This block checks that all of the blocks are in their correct position and activation so that it can place the portal.
If you use a central controller it is easier as you always check the same coordinates for your blocks in relation to the controller. If you set one of your portal frames to be the controller then you will have to check for all 4 different orientations of the portal. I would recommend drawing a grid with your portal blocks marked on it, then one axis is the x and the other is the z, use that to get the points you need to check based on where your controller is
For the actual blocks, just use a blockstate which changes on right clicked with your eyes and sets an nbt, on your portal procedure you check that the block at each coordinate is your portal block and has the nbt activated
What have you got so far?
