About this Mod
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.
- Craft Solar Panels.
- Place an Energy Condenser. This acts as a battery and network controller.
- 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
- Construct a Portal Frame with a 3x4 interior (5x6 outer size).
- Place the Portal Core at the bottom center of the frame.
- 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.
- 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:
- Craft a Portal Lightning Rod.
- Place it within range of your portal.
- Wait for a Thunderstorm (or force one, see below).
- 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.
- Structure: Requires a specific multi-block setup (Parabola, Controller, Catalyst).
- Power: Connect it to your energy network (requires 2500 EU per operation).
- Catalyst: Insert a Meteorological Catalyst crystal.
- 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.

UniverseGate server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is UniverseGate compatible with fabric?
UniverseGate officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with UniverseGate – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if UniverseGate consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
