UniverseGate

UniverseGate is a portal-focused mod for Fabric that introduces a new energy system, advanced machinery, and a mysterious dimension called The Rift. Build complex portal networks, generate power, manipulate the weather, and explore the void.

Main Features

• Advanced Portals: Build 3x4 gateways fueled by a new energy system.
• Energy System: Generate power with Solar Panels, store it in Energy Condensers, and transport it via Conduits.
• The Rift Dimension: A hostile, void-like world filled with unique resources like Kelo Wood, Rift Crystals, and dangerous Rift Shades.
• Meteorological Control: Construct a massive multi-block machine to control the weather.
• Rift Refining: Process Rift materials into Dark Matter for advanced technology.
• Portal Network: Name your portals and dial any other gate in the network using the Portal Controller.

Getting Started

1. Power Generation

Before building a portal, you need energy.

1. Craft Solar Panels.
2. Place an Energy Condenser. This acts as a battery and network controller.
3. Connect Solar Panels to the Condenser using Energy Conduits.
   • Note: Panels must see the sky and only work during the day.

2. Building a Portal

1. Construct a Portal Frame with a 3x4 interior (5x6 outer size).
2. Place the Portal Core at the bottom center of the frame.
3. Connect the Portal Core (or Frame) to your energy network using Conduits.
   • Opening a portal costs 4000 EU.
   • Maintaining the connection costs 120 EU/s.
4. Place a Portal Controller (formerly Keyboard) nearby (within 8 blocks).

3. Entering The Rift (Unstable Link)

To reach the Rift for the first time, you need to force an unstable connection:

1. Craft a Portal Lightning Rod.
2. Place it within range of your portal.
3. Wait for a Thunderstorm (or force one, see below).
4. When lightning strikes the rod, it will force the portal to open an unstable Rift link.
   • Warning: Unstable portals are volatile.

4. The Meteorological Machine

Tired of waiting for rain? Build the Meteorological Controller to change the weather.

1. Structure: Requires a specific multi-block setup (Parabola, Controller, Catalyst).
2. Power: Connect it to your energy network (requires 2500 EU per operation).
3. Catalyst: Insert a Meteorological Catalyst crystal.
4. Activate: Select "Thunder" to charge your Lightning Rods instantly.

The Rift

The Rift is a dark, void-based dimension.

• Resources: Gather Kelo Logs, Rift Crystals, and Rift Meat.
• Dangers: Watch out for Rift Shades and Rift Beasts.
• Return: Portals in the Rift are auto-powered by the ambient energy of the dimension, allowing for an easy return trip if you have a frame.

Advanced Tech

• Rift Refiner: Use Rift Crystals and a Bucket to craft Dark Matter.
• Dark Energy: (Coming Soon) Use Dark Matter to power advanced Dark Energy Generators.
• Fluid Pipes: Transport fluids like Dark Matter between machines.

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API

Installation

1. Download the .jar file.
2. Place it in your mods folder.
