Portal map and favorites

Enter a portal to browse destinations available to you. The server checks access before allowing travel.

| Choose a destination | Read the portal pin | | --- | --- | | | |

Pins show portal names, ownership and quota labels, travel restrictions, and any Coins fare.

Keep up to 10 favorites. Hover a row to find it on the map, left-click to travel while choosing a destination, or right-click to remove it. The header arrow folds the list away.

Choose who can travel

Use Left Shift + Interact to cycle available modes when you have permission. Changing the mode does not transfer ownership.

| Public | Tagged | | --- | --- | | | |

New player-built portals start in Public with no expiry by default. Set Public Access Duration Seconds above 0 to return Public portals to Personal after a chosen duration. Tagged uses matching tags for direct connected travel instead of destination selection.

| Clan access | Invite access | | --- | --- | | | |

Clan portals welcome the Builder and the bound Clan's members, including Guests. Invite portals stay open to everyone without Public expiry, with separate departure and arrival cooldowns.

| Clan map pin | Invite map pin | | --- | --- | | | |

Quota labels help you track portals, and Invite cooldown indicators show when a route becomes available again.

Admin and location portals

| Admin building pieces | A progression requirement | | --- | --- | | | |

Admin Wood and Stone portals appear under Hammer → Misc for server administrators in debug mode. Their placed frames are invisible and non-solid, with a whirling marker when a player approaches.

Set a progression requirement with Alt + Interact. Without YouAreNotWorthy, it checks world GlobalKeys; with a compatible YNW installation, ordinary progression keys can be checked per character.

Expand World Data can add Admin portals to locations. Add these objects to expand_locations.yml, then reset the affected location instances to apply the changes:
