About this Mod
Changed Portals
This mod replaces the traditional obsidian for portal frames with a new block, obsidian bricks!
When traveling through a portal for the first time, an obsidian brick portal will be auto created, instead of obsidian.
Known issues
- Ruined portals are not altered, so they will just fail to work.
