Runic Portals

Runic Portals brings the iconic and monumental technology of interdimensional wormholes inspired by Stargate SG-1 into Minecraft!

Forget plain obsidian rectangles. Construct majestic octagonal stone gates, align physical rotatable rune glyphs, dial through a network of over 8.5 billion cosmic addresses, and witness the raw power of the wormhole's Kawoosh event horizon!

Features

• Octagonal Multiblock Gates: Build an ancient gateway with a 3×3 inner opening, large enough for players, horses, wagons, and mobs.
• Physical Rotatable Runes: 11 perimeter chevron blocks featuring 8 distinct rotation angles, granting over 8.58 billion unique destination addresses!
• Cinematic Dialing Sequence: Watch the chevrons rotate in sequence and lock into place with satisfying mechanical clangs before the gate activates.
• The "Kawoosh" Vortex: A dramatic, unstable vortex of energy blasts forward upon connection, disintegrating obstacles before settling into a fluid event horizon. (Stand back!)
• Keystone Console & GUI:
  • Gate Registration: Name and register your gate's address in the dimensional network.
  • Address Book: Save bookmarks for easy redialing to outposts, friends' bases, or other dimensions.
  • Status & Diagnostics: Live visual feedback of your gate's integrity and dialed chevron coordinates.
• The 38-Second Rule: Wormholes remain stable for exactly 38 seconds unless closed manually or disrupted.
• Full Entity & Dimension Support: Cross vast distances or travel between different dimensions seamlessly.

Gate Structure & Assembly

The gate requires 12 blocks total surrounding a 3×3 open air corridor in a 5×5 octagonal arrangement (corners remain empty)

Looking for an Artist! (Volunteer / WIP Art)

Please note: Current block textures and glyph visuals are temporary placeholders.

I want to give the portal chevrons and rune rings a truly detailed, authentic, and atmospheric look. If you are a pixel artist who loves Stargate / sci-fi / fantasy aesthetics and wants to collaborate on creating custom rune designs and textures:

Any help to make these gates look legendary is warmly welcomed!
