A portal network: press E on a portal and pick where it goes from a list, a teleport menu with search, favourites and map lines. No more matching portal names; portals you already built keep working.

✨ Features

A portal network: press E on a portal and pick where it goes from a list. No more matching portal names to teleport where you want.

What is in it

• The list shows every portal in the world, nearest first, with its biome and distance. Search it, sort it by name, or star the ones you use most to keep them at the top.
• One click links this portal to the one you pick, and (by default) links that one back, so there is no more matching names on both ends.
• Every portal shows on the map with its name, and the big map draws a line from each portal to where it goes (an arrow when it only goes one way). A Map button next to each portal in the menu opens the map at that spot.
• Look at a portal and it tells you where it goes.
• Rename a portal right in the menu. Portals you never choose a destination for work the old way, by matching names, so nothing you built breaks.
• Teleport rules are unchanged: you still cannot carry ores or other blocked items through a portal.
• Needs to be installed on the host's game (and on yours to use the menu). Players without it can still walk through linked portals.

🎮 How to use

Key	What it does
E at a portal	Open the portal menu and choose where it goes

• E on any portal opens the PortalHub menu instead of the game's name box (press Shift+E for the game's own name box).
• Protected areas: a portal inside someone else's switched-on ward can't be relinked or renamed by you, and you can't link a portal into it either (a link would let anyone walk into their base). The host checks this, whatever a player's game says. With HideWardedPortals on (the host's choice), those portals also stay out of your list and map.

Known clashes

• XPortal: PortalHub stands down while it's installed (the log says so).

👥 Multiplayer

Who needs it: The host (it keeps the portal links), and everyone who wants the portal menu.

The host keeps the portal list and the links, and checks wards before relinking or renaming. Players without the mod still travel through linked portals; they just don't get the menu.

The host decides: whether the menu is on and whether warded portals are hidden. While you play on their world their values replace yours (your file isn't changed); a host without the mod leaves everyone their own.

🌍 Languages

English, Русский (Russian), Deutsch (German), 简体中文 (Chinese), Português do Brasil (Portuguese), Español (Spanish), Français (French), Polski (Polish), Türkçe (Turkish). It follows the game's own language setting.

The translations were made with AI, so a few words may be off. To correct one, or to add your language, put a file in BepInEx/config/translations/com.quad.portalhub/ named after the game's name for the language (German.json, Italian.json, Japanese.json...) with only the lines you change, copied from English.json (it wins over the built-in one). Or tell us the better words and we'll put them in for everyone.

⚙️ Settings

In BepInEx/config/com.quad.portalhub.cfg, made the first time the game runs with the mod. r2modman and Thunderstore Mod Manager edit it under Config editor.

General

HideWardedPortals	false	Leave portals inside someone else's protected area (a switched-on ward you are not on) out of each player's list and map. (Either way, nobody can change a portal in such an area or link a portal into one.) In multiplayer the server's value applies.
ShowDestinationOnHover	true	When you look at a portal, show where it goes.

Map

Setting	Default	What it does
ShowPortals	true	Show every portal on the map with its name.
ShowLinks	true	On the big map, draw a line from each portal to where it goes (an arrow if it only goes one way).

Menu

Setting	Default	What it does
LinkBothWays	true	Picking a destination also links that portal back to this one.

📜 Recent changes

• 1.4.3 Settings: edits to the config file now apply while the game runs (a server owner no longer has to restart), and a server's admins can change the server's settings from their own game with Configuration Manager, where other players see them greyed out. Your config file always keeps your own values while you play on a server (saving it there could write the server's in). Players on an older version still get the server's settings.
• 1.4.2 Its windows no longer fill the log with "The LiberationSans SDF Font Asset was not found": each text is given the game's font before it starts (it looked for TextMeshPro's default font, which the game doesn't have, every time a text was made). Nothing changes on screen.
• 1.4.1 Fix: a portal could be linked one way into someone else's protected area, so anyone could walk into their base through it. The host now refuses a link to a portal in a switched-on ward you are not on, whatever HideWardedPortals says (that setting now only hides those portals from the list and map). Links that already lead into a protected area their maker may not enter (a ward built or switched on since) are dropped, and the portal goes back to pairing by name. Links made with an older version didn't record who made them, so they are left as they are. Fix: a portal renamed at the moment the host saved its link or id could lose the new name: the host now asks the game that holds the portal to save them (as the game does with its own portal links), and saves them itself only when nobody else holds it, or after a few seconds for a player with an older PortalHub. The host's portal pass every 5 seconds no longer searches the whole portal list once for each linked portal.

Every change is on the Changelog tab.
