Phase Gate adds a simple but powerful teleportation system to Minecraft, allowing entities to travel instantly to recorded locations, without requiring a second portal at the destination.
Create a gate, record a location with a Coordinate Inscriber, bind the gate to it, and step through.
Features
- Two types of Phase Gates
- Phase Gate - teleport within the same dimension.
- Interdimensional Phase Gate - teleport between dimensions as well as within the same one.
- Any entity can travel through a gate, not just players.
- One-way teleportation. If you want a return route, set up another gate at the destination.
- Coordinate Inscribers let you record and transfer locations to gates.

How It Works
Phase Gate
The regular Phase Gate is designed for safe and reliable travel within a single dimension.
To use one:
- Craft and place a Phase Gate.
- Use a Coordinate Inscriber to record your current location.
- Right-click the Gate Frame with the Inscriber.
- The gate is now bound to those coordinates.
- Enter the gate to teleport there.
Regular Phase Gates are also more stable: they will prevent teleportation if the destination contains an unsafe obstruction, such as a solid block or lava. Water and other non-solid blocks such as trapdoors, fences, chains, etc. are considered safe.
The gate does not, however, check what is beneath the destination, so falling is still possible.
Interdimensional Phase Gate
The Interdimensional Phase Gate works similarly, but can also travel between dimensions.
It requires an Advanced Coordinate Inscriber, which records both the coordinates and the dimension.
Interdimensional Gates are considerably more unstable. They do not check the destination for obstructions and will teleport entities regardless of what is waiting at the destination.
Important: Regular Coordinate Inscribers cannot be used with Interdimensional Gates, and Advanced Coordinate Inscribers cannot be used with regular Phase Gates.
Coordinate Inscribers
Coordinate Inscribers store a location that can later be written into a Phase Gate. Each time you record a location, the previous coordinates are overwritten.
Coordinate Inscriber
The regular Inscriber has 3 uses. Once all uses are consumed, it can be restored using Dissolvent in an anvil. Each Dissolvent restores 1 use, meaning 3 are required for a full recharge.
The remaining uses can be seen through the item's durability and its texture, which gradually fills as coordinates are recorded.
Advanced Coordinate Inscriber
The Advanced Inscriber has 8 uses and records both the location and dimension. It can be recharged in an anvil using End Crystals. Each End Crystal restores 2 uses, so 4 are required for a full recharge.
Unlike the regular Inscriber, its remaining uses are only visible through durability.
Important: Once an Inscriber's uses run out, it can still be used to bind a gate using the last recorded location. Binding a gate does not consume durability, only recording new coordinates does.
Fully repairing an Inscriber will erase its stored coordinates.

Brewing
Gate Stabilizer
- Amethyst Shard
- Thick Potion
Neutral Solution
- Bone Meal
- Thick Potion
Dissolvent
- Raw Copper
- Thick Potion

Recycling
Several recipes use liquid/potion-like ingredients:
- Dissolvent
- Gate Stabilizer
- Emerald Extract
- Neutral Solution
Using these items in crafting leaves behind empty flasks.
Empty flasks can be crafted back into Glass, at a rate of 1x Flask → 1x Glass, allowing you to recover exactly the amount of glass originally used for the bottles.
Unstable End Crystal
The Unstable End Crystal is exactly what its name suggests. Attempting to place one will cause it to explode immediately. The crystal itself is not lost, it transforms back into a regular End Crystal in your hand.
If you don't want this behavior, it can be disabled with the:
unstable_crystal_explodes gamerule.
The gamerule by default is set to true.
Additionally, setting the world difficulty to Peaceful prevents Unstable End Crystals from exploding, regardless of the gamerule's value.
‼️ Important Notes
- Interdimensional Gates currently support vanilla dimensions only. Support for modded dimensions may be added in the future.
- Once a Phase Gate has been bound, its destination cannot currently be changed. To reset a gate, you must break it and place it again.
- Gates can always be recovered, even when mined by hand, although a pickaxe is recommended.
