    About

    Better Nether Portals lets you build Nether portals in custom shapes and orientations instead of only the usual upright rectangle, including hearts, diamonds, crosses, circles, and flat floor or ceiling designs. Portals use a closed, connected frame of obsidian or crying obsidian around an empty interior; openings can range from 1×1 to the vanilla maximum of 21×21 blocks, and are lit with flint and steel for ordinary Nether travel. Portal linking lets you return through the same portal you entered, and the mod also allows the Nether portal and obsidian frame to be colored, with the loading-screen color changing to match the portal.

    No harmful code found in the parts we could check

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    One of its files for recent versions is not checked yet.

    6 of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download them from CurseForge.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · 13 of 21 latest files checked, last on 20 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      21 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 20 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 7 of them are not checked yet. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends, in the 13 of its 20 files we read

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · 13 of 20 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of 13 of 20 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
