LudsPortals
A portal menu instead of a map: favourites, search, an Open Map button, pause while you choose, and optional 3D portal previews with PortalPreview.Luds Portals
Step into a portal and pick where to go from a clean menu, instead of hunting for it on the map.
What it does
- Portal list with a Favorites section on top and every other portal below it, with distances.
- Search to filter the list while you type.
- Pauses the game while you choose (single player, or hosting with nobody else connected). On a server you can't move or take damage while the menu is open.
- Open Map to pick on the map instead. Back returns to the list.
- Middle-click a portal to see it on the map.
- Right-click a portal, or click its star, to favourite it.
- A new map icon that looks like a portal frame.
- Remembers the last portal you used from each portal.
Portal previews (optional)
Install PortalPreview by Ivvty alongside this mod. Luds Portals links each portal to the last portal you used from it, so PortalPreview shows that destination in the frame. Travel through a portal once so its view can be captured. PortalPreview is not included in this download.
Install
Put the mod in your BepInEx plugins folder (or use a mod manager). Needs BepInEx 5.
Configuration
BepInEx/config/ludsportals.valheim.plugin.cfg. The settings carried over from TargetPortal keep their names: lock configuration, allow non-public portals (private, group and guild modes), limit to vanilla portals, map pins and player pins during selection, portal name length, maximum portals, item teleport restrictions, default portal mode and the map hotkey. Hold the modifier key (Left Shift by default) and interact with a portal to change its mode.
Notes
- Do not install together with the original TargetPortal. They conflict.
- Favourites and portal modes created with TargetPortal keep working.
Credits
Based on TargetPortal by Smoothbrain. Uses ServerSync by blaxxun. Portal previews come from PortalPreview by Ivvty (separate mod).

Like this look? Download my Luds Pin Manager mod too. It gives map pins the same menu style: a pin list with search, filters, multi-select, rename and delete, instead of clicking pins on the map.
