Learn all about the Portal Gun Mod for Minecraft With Apex Hosting
Introduction
If you’re a fan of both Portal from Valve and Minecraft, then the Portal Gun mod is perfect for you. This mod allows players to craft tools that can spawn portals in their Minecraft world. Whether you want to have fun or use them strategically, the possibilities are endless. Setting up the Portal Gun mod on your Minecraft server is incredibly easy with Apex Hosting’s panel, and this article will guide you through the installation process.
Installing the Portal Gun Mod
To install the Portal Gun mod, you’ll first need to head to the Portal Gun page on Curse Forge. Click on “Files” at the top and scroll down to find the game version you want. Download the file by clicking on the three vertical dots on the right-hand side. Save the file in a location where you can easily access it. You’ll also need to download another mod called Forge, which is a dependency for the Portal Gun mod.
Once you have Forge installed on your Minecraft launcher, open the launcher and click on “Installations” near the top. Find the Forge profile and click on the folder icon on the right-hand side. In the window that opens, locate and enter the mods directory. Drag and drop the downloaded mod files into this directory.
Installing the Mod on Your Server
Before installing the mod on your server, make sure you’re running the same version of Forge as the mod you downloaded. Stop the server and click on “FTP File Access” near the top left. Log in and find the mods folder from the list. Click on “Upload” in the top left corner and drag and drop the two mod files into the upload area. Once the files are 100% uploaded, use your server name at the top of the page to return to your main panel and restart the server.
Using the Portal Gun
After joining your server, start collecting basic resources and rare items to create the portal gun. You’ll need eight Ender pearls, which you can obtain by defeating Endermen or by building a mob farm in the end dimension. Smelt the Ender pearls in a furnace to transform them into Ender pearl dust. You’ll also need a miniature black hole, which requires summoning and defeating the Wither for a Nether star. Combine the Ender pearl dust with the Nether star to create the miniature black hole.
Once you have all the necessary resources, craft the portal gun. To use the portal gun, simply left or right click while holding the tool to summon different portals. The color of the portals depends on the channel. You can also use the portal gun to move blocks around by pressing G on the keyboard and right-clicking to drop the block.
Common Issues
If you’re unable to join the server after installing the mod, double-check that you have also uploaded the dependency required for the Portal Gun mod to function. Lag when using the portals is a common issue, but it cannot be solved due to the mod and the game’s design. However, you can optimize your server to minimize lag.
Conclusion
The Portal Gun mod adds a whole new dimension of fun and creativity to Minecraft. With the ability to spawn portals and move blocks, players can create unique experiences and challenges.
