This data pack forces you to find ruined portals, man-made portals won't work anymore.



Technically speaking, only portals within a ruined portal area work, unless you're in creative or spectator or in the nether.
This does mean that you cannot re-use portals generated by traveling to the overworld from the nether, but this shouldn't be much of a problem since you'll likely use the same portal you entered the nether with.

Thank you Sheepherd for the idea.



Install Instructions
This is a datapack, it can easily be used in any world or server without any difficulties.
Simply drop the downloaded zip file in the "datapacks" folder of your world save (<world>/datapacks).
Then open your world and do
/reload

In case the datapack doesn't automatically get enabled, run:
/datapack enable "file/[​datapack folder name].zip"

I encountered a bug! What do I do now?

I test all my creations, but bugs happen no matter how long you test something. Whenever someone experiences a bug, I do my best to fix the issue. You can help me by providing any useful information. You can never give me enough information, but please send it in a DM instead of placing it in the comments. You can still place a one-liner in the comments stating the issue to make the community aware, but that alone isn't enough to help me fix the issue.
  • Checklist: Are you using the right version? Did you do /reload after dropping the datapack in? After /reload, does the datapack show up green in /datapack list?
  • What is the issue? Does the datapack not seem to be working at all or is there a specific feature you are having issues with?
  • What happened? Please give me all the steps needed to reproduce the issue. The faster I can experience it, the faster I can solve it.
  • What did you expect to happen instead? This helps me understand your point of view and determine if the issue described is actually the issue I need to fix. The bug you are experiencing could just be a side effect of something else that doesn't behave as expected.

this looks like an excelent idea, but i think it would be better if after the first time in the nether, you can actualy make normal nether portals. because if not, it kind of defeats one of the main uses of the nether, fast travel on a nether hub.




another idea maybe, is to make the nether portals not buildable on top of the nether, to discourage that usage.,

i would like to use it on my Modpack, but i don't like the bats spawning, could i disable it in the datapack and use it without problems?

For personal use you can modify the data pack. One of the files in data/bertiecrafter/functions should contain a bunch of summon commands. You can remove them or comment them out by prefixing the lines with #.

I'm stuck where infinite bats spawn as soon as I load into survival. I love this idea but the pack won't work for me. I am in constant bat-ridden blindness and nothing stops it.

That is very strange... This data pack is quite simple so I'm very certain this can't be a bug. Are you on the right MC version? And if you're using a server, are you on vanilla?

Have tried it on both my server and singleplayer worlds, both with no other datapacks and in 1.17.1.

Thank you! I had it filtered for 1.17 comparability so I just assumed it was updated
