About Portaler

From Thunderstore

Every portal connects to every portal. Pick a destination from a list or the map with a live preview. Favorites, categories, search, back history, other players' last trips and biome auto-names, all synced by the server.

Portaler

Every portal connects to every portal. Step into any portal and the map opens with a list of all portals on the server. Pick a name or click a pin and you're there. There's no pairing and no tag matching, and by default no item restrictions.

Rest the mouse on a name and the map shows where it goes, with a fiery line from your portal to the target.

Built for servers that play together:

  • Favorites, personal (silver) or shared with everyone (gold), in your own order.
  • Categories with icons on the list and the map pins (base, mine, farm, trader, boss, danger, dungeon, explore), plus a one-click filter.
  • Players' last trips: see where your friends went and follow them with one click.
  • Back to: your last 1-3 departure portals, one click away.
  • Last built: the newest portals on the server.
  • Search, sorting (biome, name, distance), foldable groups and blocks you can drag into your own order.
  • Quick arrival: you arrive as soon as the target area is loaded, often in half the game's usual time.
  • Automatic names by biome (BF-007, MO-012) and renaming any portal right from the list.

Everybody has the same rights: anyone can rename, set categories or change shared favorites. Everything shared is synced through the server and kept with the world save, so it survives restarts and mod updates.

Features

Every feature says what is 🌐 shared (the same for everybody on the server) and what is 👤 personal (only for you).

1. Travel from any portal to any portal

  • Walk into a portal: the big map opens with the portal list on the left.
  • Click a name in the list, or a portal pin on the map, to travel.
  • Vanilla name pairing is switched off, so every portal is always active.
  • The portal you stand in stays in the list, greyed out with "you are here", and cannot be selected.
  • 🌐 Shared: the list of portals (everybody sees every portal).
The list sorted by distance, the portal you stand in greyed out

2. Map preview

  • Rest the mouse on a name: a soft fiery line flows from your portal to it and its pin gets bigger, so you see where the trip goes.
  • Close portals (up to 2 km apart): the map calmly frames both portals, with extra room around the target.
  • Far portals: the map shows the target right away, without flying across the world.
  • The map stays there 10 seconds after the mouse leaves the list, then glides back. Move or zoom the map yourself and it stays where you put it.
  • 👤 Personal: only your own map moves. Timing, zoom and the line can be changed in your config.

3. Favorites

  • Right click a name: mine (silver star), then shared (bigger glowing gold star), then off.
  • Drag favorites by their handle into any order. New favorites go to the end.
  • 🌐 Shared: gold stars. Everybody sees them, and anyone can add or remove them.
  • 👤 Personal: silver stars and the order of your favorites (per character, saved on the server).
Favorites with drag handles, gold (shared) and silver (personal) stars

4. Categories & filter

  • Hover a name and press T to choose a category: Base, Mine, Farm, Trader, Boss, Danger, Dungeon or Explore.
  • The icon shows in the list and inside the portal's ring on the map.
  • One click on an icon in the Show: row lists only that category. Click it again (or All) to see everything.
  • 🌐 Shared: the category of each portal (anyone can change it).
  • 👤 Personal: which category you are filtering by.
Category filter showing only bases

5. Search

  • Click the search box and type: only portals whose name contains the text are shown (any case), matching letters in gold.
  • While typing, the game ignores your keys (no walking, the map stays open). Esc or x clears the search.
  • 👤 Personal: your search (cleared each time you enter a portal).
Search with the matching letters in gold

6. Sorting & foldable groups

  • Biome (default): grouped by biome, Deep North first. Click again for Meadows first.
  • Name: one list A to Z, or Z to A.
  • Distance: nearest first (or farthest first), with the distance shown next to each name.
  • Click a group title to fold or unfold it.
  • Blocks, from the top by default: Back to, Players' last trips, Favorites, Last built, All portals (the biome groups, or the sorted list). Each has a handle left of its title: drag them into any order, for example put Last built below all portals.
  • 👤 Personal: sort choice (per PC), folded groups and group order (per character).
All portals grouped by biome, folded and unfolded

7. "Back to"

  • The portals you last travelled from, at the top of the list. One click takes you back.
  • The newest one is golden and glows; older ones say "2 trips ago", "3 trips ago".
  • show 1 2 3 in the title: how many to list.
  • 👤 Personal: the history per character, the number per PC.
Back to with three portals, the newest one golden
