Description
Portal Gates allows you to craft blocks that you can stand on and teleport to different locations in the current dimension to other dimensions such as the nether to end or surface to a modded dimension.
Tags can now be found on the GitHub wiki page for Cross-mod support, for any mod creators wishing to add support or create custom portal gates crystal blocks, and so on.
Issues
Portal Teleport Looping
One of the issues with travelling long distances or between dimensions is loading time.
It is possible to get stuck in a loop going between portals due to computers not loading the chunks in fast enough for the delay.
I have found that for my PC an 80-tick delay will work for my loading time but this value can be higher for other computers.
It's best to set the tick delay time higher than you need until you can figure out what your server or computer can handle.
This should be fixed as of 1.1.0 but the option to delay to a higher value than 200 ticks is still an option if needed.
The portal delay time may need to be manually increased or replaced to apply the fix.
Release 1.6.0
Item teleports might cause some issues in this version for performance.
It is recommended to use the patch for 1.6.1 which fixed this issue.
