## **Gateway of Doom – 2.3.5** New Vanilla / Custom selection: When an operator first joins the world, a selection screen lets them choose the default portal set for the entire server. Selecting an option returns directly to the game. New Vanilla presets: Crypt Gateway, Inferno Gateway and Abyss Gateway feature classic Minecraft enemies, fixed waves and Vanilla bosses. Custom portal set: Runestone Gate, Necromancer Gate, Maelstrom Portal and Golden Rune Gate feature themed enemy waves and custom bosses: Runeroot, Reaper, Voidwing and Azure Ronin. Switch portal sets at any time: Open /doom menu → Key Profiles → Vanilla / Custom to change the selection without restarting the server. New key drops and automatic default events follow the selected set. Custom profiles, edits to both sets and ongoing battles are preserved. Reworked default rewards: All default encounters now award guaranteed materials, experience bottles and completion XP, alongside chances for enchanted books, equipment and rare trophies. Rewards scale with each encounter, including Netherite, Totems and Elytra in advanced encounters. Golden Rune Keys remain rare bonus rewards in the three main Custom portals. Existing reward customizations preserved: Unmodified default rewards update automatically. Manually edited rewards and custom profiles retain their settings. New enemy highlight defaults: Wave enemies, boss guards and bosses receive a glowing outline when they are at least 20 blocks from their portal. The outline disappears when they return closer. Existing profiles retain their saved settings. Improved shader compatibility: Fixed custom portal rendering issues and Iris rendering crashes on Minecraft 26.3, including problems when reloading shaders and resources. Fixed chunk loading: Gateways now use dedicated chunk tickets. Closing a gateway preserves chunk-loading requests from Vanilla and other mods.

# Gateway of Doom 2.1.0 This is the largest **Gateway of Doom** update so far! Version **2.1.0** introduces automatic server events, a public API, configurable Hell Wards, newly animated Devil Eyes, custom sound packages, advanced mob equipment rules, a completely redesigned operator menu, and extensive server-side safeguards. --- ## ✦ Highlights * Added automatic Gateways that can start during exploration or after a random timer. * Added a public server-side API for quests, structures, scripts, and other mods. * Added five craftable Hell Wards that protect areas from **1 × 1 up to 5 × 5 chunks** against Gateways. * Added a new animated and colorable **Portal Eye** design. * Added three selectable Gateway sound modes. * Added configurable mob equipment pools with percentage chances. * Completely rebuilt the operator menu with a responsive Doom-red design. --- ## ✦ Automatic Gateway Events Gateways can now open automatically without requiring a Devil Eye to be thrown. Every automation rule can use one of two trigger modes: ### Exploration * Requires the player to travel a randomly selected configurable distance. * Only chunks that are new to the respective player count toward progress. * Separate minimum and maximum exploration distances can be configured. * Pre-generated chunks still count when the player personally enters them for the first time. * Logging out does not reset exploration progress. * Teleports and dimension changes do not count as exploration movement. ### Random Timer * Selects a new random delay after every event. * Separate minimum and maximum times can be configured. * Timers are persisted for each world. ### Event Types Every automatic rule can operate in one of the following ways: * **Server Event:** One shared trigger selects a random eligible player. * **Per-Player Event:** Every eligible player has their own independent progress or timer. Rules can additionally configure: * Eye profile * One or more dimensions * Minimum number of eligible players * Gateway spawn distance * Maximum number of simultaneously active events * Chat announcement behavior * Creative player participation Spectators always remain excluded. Automatic events use the same portal lifecycle, sounds, limits, protection checks, and rewards as manually opened Gateways. ### Default Automatic Events New installations include the following enabled server-event defaults: * **Overworld:** Easy blue Gateway after **100–300 blocks** of exploration. * **Nether:** Medium red Gateway after a random **30–60 minutes**. * **End:** Hard violet Gateway after a random **30–60 minutes**. --- ## ✦ Player and Server Limits Server owners can configure how many player-owned Gateways one player may have active at the same time. * The default limit is **one active Gateway per player**. * The limit can be configured between **1 and 4**. * The same limit applies to thrown Eyes, automatic events, commands, and player-owned API requests. * Players who have already reached their limit are skipped during automatic target selection. * Ownerless Gateways created by quests, structures, scripts, or mod integrations do not consume a player's allowance. Additional global, per-dimension, per-rule, owner, and source checks prevent duplicate or uncontrolled Gateway spawning. All Gateway opening methods now use one centralized and validated safe-placement service. Hell Wards and safe-position checks are enforced for: * Thrown Devil Eyes * Automatic events * Commands * API requests --- ## ✦ New Devil Eye Design Added the new **Portal Eye** design, which is now used by default. * The inner vortex inherits the configured Eye color. * The original Eye design remains available as **Classic**. * Every Eye profile can select its own Eye design independently. * A live Eye preview is now displayed beside the portal preview in the color and appearance editor. --- ## ✦ Difficulty and Default Profile Balance The default Nether and End profiles have been rebalanced to remain challenging without overwhelming solo players. Changes include: * Reduced several default mob counts. * Increased the time available for difficult waves. * Reduced the default Medium and Hard attribute bonuses. * Rebalanced the Medium and Hard bosses. * Added automatic migration for untouched legacy defaults. Existing custom profiles and deliberately edited combat values are preserved. --- ## ✦ Gateway Sound Packages Added three server-wide Gateway sound modes: * **Infernal Echoes:** The new default custom sound package. * **Vanilla Minecraft Sounds:** The previous sound behavior using Minecraft sounds. * **No Gateway Sounds:** Completely disables Gateway sounds. ### Infernal Echoes Includes * Portal explosion and opening sound * Three random boss summoning voice lines * Boss defeat sound * Portal closing sound Gateway sounds are position-based and can only be heard by nearby players. --- ## ✦ Hell Wards Added five craftable and placeable Hell Wards: * **1 × 1 chunk protection** * **2 × 2 chunk protection** * **3 × 3 chunk protection** * **4 × 4 chunk protection** * **5 × 5 chunk protection** Gateways cannot appear inside protected chunks. ### Hell Ward Map Right-clicking a Hell Ward opens a compact terrain map of the protected area. * Protected chunks are highlighted in yellow. * The Hell Ward is marked in red. * North, South, East, and West are displayed. * The coordinates of the chunk under the cursor are shown. ### Ownership and Protection * Breaking a Hell Ward returns the item. * Only the owner or an operator may break and recover a Ward. * Explosions cannot bypass ownership protection. * Pistons cannot bypass ownership protection. * Wards belonging to players who have been offline for 30 days expire automatically. * Expiration never force-loads unloaded chunks. * Overlapping Wards remain safe. Removing one Hell Ward does not remove protection that is still provided by another Ward. --- ## ✦ Mob Equipment and Mod Compatibility Vanilla and modded mobs once again receive their normal: * Weapons * Armor * Enchantments * Variants * Standard AI initialization Disabling additional equipment now always preserves the mob's normal and fully initialized equipment. ### Custom Equipment Rules Optional equipment rules can now be configured for every Eye profile. Each rule selects: * A mob that appears in the respective profile's waves * A compatible item * A valid visible equipment slot * A percentage chance Multiple items can form a weighted equipment pool for the same mob and equipment slot. * The combined chance for one mob and equipment slot cannot exceed **100%**. * Any remaining percentage keeps the mob's normal equipment. * Weapons can only be assigned to supported visible hand slots. * Armor can only be assigned to supported visible armor slots. * Modded equipment is supported when it uses normal Minecraft equipment behavior. Extensible tags allow modpack creators to enable compatible modded mobs for visible hand or armor equipment. --- ## ✦ Redesigned Operator Menu The entire operator interface has been rebuilt with a wide, framed, Doom-red design. Added separate tabs for: * **General Settings** * **Eye Profiles** * **Automation** * **Help & Integration** Additional improvements include: * Replaced profile cycling with searchable selection lists. * Added proper lists for dimensions, mobs, items, effects, loot tables, and Eye profiles. * Added clearer validation messages. * Added minimum-value hints. * Added additional tooltips. * Added confirmation dialogs. * Added safer deletion dialogs for profiles, rules, waves, and list entries. * Completely rewrote the **Help & Integration** section. * Added explanations, command block examples, and API guidance. Configuration screens and commands remain operator-only. --- ## ✦ Public API and Commands Added a loader-neutral, server-side Gateway API for modpack creators and integrations. Integrations can now: * Open a Gateway safely near a position * Request an exact position * Select an Eye profile * Assign an optional player owner * Assign a stable source ID * List and inspect active Gateways * Find Gateways by owner * Find Gateways by source ID * Close one Gateway * Close every Gateway belonging to a source * Receive opened lifecycle events * Receive completed lifecycle events * Receive failed lifecycle events * Receive closed lifecycle events Asynchronous helpers are available for integrations that are not already running on the server thread. ### Commands Added operator-only commands for opening, listing, and closing Gateways. Command blocks can now open configured Gateway encounters without requiring a Devil Eye. Ownerless API and command requests are suitable for: * Quests * Structures * Scripts * Boss encounters * Mod integrations API requests still respect Hell Wards and all server-side safety validation. --- ## ✦ Large-Server and Performance Improvements Automatic exploration tracking was designed for servers with thousands of concurrent players. ### Exploration Tracking * Supports up to **8,192 tracked exploration profiles** with strict record limits. * Uses one deduplicated recent-chunk history per player. * Does not duplicate chunk history for every automatic rule. * Stores compact counters for each rule. * Stores up to 128 recently visited chunks per player. * Automatically reduces the history to 64 chunks when more than 2,048 explorers are active. * Inactive exploration data expires after 30 days. * Sorting, expiration, and record trimming use a periodic maintenance pass. ### Saving and Persistence * Automation data is compressed on a dedicated I/O thread. * State files use atomic writes. * A final save is performed during a clean server shutdown. * Automation cooldowns are persisted for each world. * Legacy automation states are automatically migrated. ### Hell Ward Performance * Hell Ward protection uses constant-time chunk lookups. * Supports up to **8,192 Hell Wards per dimension** with strict safety limits. * The terrain map uses limited and cached samples. * The terrain map never scans or loads additional chunks. Strict limits have also been added for: * Profiles * Waves * Mobs * Rewards * Equipment rules * Automatic rules * Serialized state size --- ## ✦ Configuration Safety The configuration system has received extensive safety improvements. * Updated the configuration schema. * Added automatic migration from older releases. * Added transactional configuration loading and saving. * Added atomic writes. * Added configuration backups. * Added recovery from invalid files. * Added server-side validation for identifiers. * Added server-side validation for configuration values. * Added server-side validation for list sizes. * Added validation for percentage pools. * Configuration changes are synchronized with connected clients. * Loot table integrations reload immediately after relevant changes. Active Gateways now retain a persisted snapshot of their profile. Later configuration changes therefore cannot corrupt encounters that are already running. Additional improvements include: * Reference-counted chunk forcing for overlapping Gateways * Persisted runtime state for thrown Devil Eyes * More reliable Devil Eye item refunds --- ## ✦ Diagnostic Test Mode Added an optional and extensive technical test suite for operators. The diagnostic system validates: * Configuration round-trips * Configuration migrations * Resources * Recipes * Translations * Sounds * Eye data * Portal styles * Attribute scaling * Waves * Bosses * Equipment * Loot * Debuffs * Automation * Player and server limits * API behavior * Lifecycle events * Gateway cleanup The test creates isolated temporary Gateways without permanent rewards or progression. A detailed JSON report is written to the server diagnostics folder. ### Permissions and Availability * Diagnostic commands require permission level **4**. * Diagnostic commands are disabled by default in production builds. * They can only be enabled through the text configuration. * They are intentionally not available as an operator-menu toggle. ### Available Diagnostic Commands ```text /gateway test /gateway test stop ``` --- ## ✦ Languages Gateway of Doom now includes the following languages: * English * German * Spanish * French * Polish * Brazilian Portuguese * Russian * Simplified Chinese --- ## ✦ Upgrade Notes > Back up your world and configuration before installing any large mod update. * Existing custom profiles are preserved. * Untouched legacy Medium and Hard defaults may be migrated to the newly balanced defaults. * Existing automatic-event settings are preserved when present. * Diagnostic commands are **disabled by default** in release builds. * The new **Portal Eye** is now the default Eye design. * The new **Infernal Echoes** package is now the default Gateway sound mode. --- Thank you for all your suggestions, testing, and bug reports! ❤️

## Gateway of Doom v2.0.1 NeoForge 26.2 — Bugfix ### 🐛 Fixed - **Mobs now drop custom (player-created) eyes.** Previously a custom eye could never drop if it shared a dimension with a built-in profile (e.g. your custom eye + the Easy eye in the Overworld). In that case the built-in profile always "won" and only its eye dropped — regardless of the configured drop chance. - The mob-drop logic now checks **all** profiles findable in the dimension instead of just the first one. Each matching profile drops its own eye with its own configured chance. ### ⚠️ Note - If multiple profiles share the same dimension **and** the same mob, that mob will now drop **multiple eyes** at once. If you only want one specific eye, set the mob-drop chance of the other profiles to 0% or remove the dimension from their "Findable Dimensions".

# Gateway of Doom 2.0.1 NeoForge 26 — Bugfix: Eye Drops ## 🐛 Fixed * **Mob drops ignored the configured chance.** The per-mob drop chance set in the Mob Drop editor (e.g. Zombie at 100%) was saved but never actually used at runtime — an unrelated, hidden global value was checked instead. As a result, no eye dropped even at 100%. The per-mob chance is now applied exactly as configured. * **Custom eyes never dropped.** Self-made eyes (the "New Eye" button) had a fully working config menu for chest and mob drops, but were completely ignored — only the 3 default eyes could drop. Chest and mob drops now work for **all** eyes, including custom ones. ## ✨ Improved * Dropped eyes (from both chests **and** mobs) now consistently carry their profile's correct color and name — identical to how they appear in the creative inventory. ## ℹ️ Note * **Chest drops are baked when the world loads.** Changes to chest assignments or drop chances only take effect after a **server restart**. Mob drop changes apply immediately.

# Gateway of Doom 2.0.1 Fabric 1.21.11 — Bugfix: Eye Drops ## 🐛 Fixed * **Mob drops ignored the configured chance.** The per-mob drop chance set in the Mob Drop editor (e.g. Zombie at 100%) was saved but never actually used at runtime — an unrelated, hidden global value was checked instead. As a result, no eye dropped even at 100%.

# Gateway of Doom — 1.1.1 ## New Features - **Auto-close on abandoned portals**: Portals now automatically close after 30 seconds if no player is within a 48-block radius. Wave mobs are cleaned up along with the portal — no more lingering mobs after the portal disappears. - **Chunk forceload**: While a portal is active, its surrounding chunks (7×7 ≈ 48-block radius) stay loaded. The wave timer now keeps ticking even when no player is in the dimension (previously the portal would freeze in unloaded chunks — particularly noticeable in the Nether). - **Timer resync after dimension change**: If you switch dimensions while a portal is active (e.g. dying in the Nether, using a Nether portal) and come back, you'll see the **current** wave timer the moment you re-enter the 48-block range — perfectly in sync with players who kept the portal alive in the meantime. - **New command `/doom cleanup mobs`**: Removes only wave mobs across all dimensions while leaving active portals untouched. Handy when only a mob spam needs cleaning up. ## Improvements - **Reworked Devil Eye throwing**: Eyes now fly in the **direction the player is looking** instead of a random direction. Reduced spread, slight upward tilt — the eye stays clearly visible in your field of view. - **Better Nether spawn behavior**: Soul Sand and Soul Soil are now accepted as valid ground for portal spawns in the Nether (still treated as hazardous in other dimensions). - **`/doom cleanup` now works across all dimensions**: Previously only deleted portals in the current dimension. Now it sweeps every world — and additionally cleans up orphan wave mobs (identified by the `gateway_of_doom_mob` tag). ## Bug Fixes - **Boss bar no longer sticks in the wrong dimension** after dying or changing dimensions in the Nether. The portal now reliably updates its boss bar player list because its chunk stays loaded. - **Orphan wave mobs after portal removal prevented**: When a portal is destroyed (e.g. via `/kill`, crash, or mod conflict), its wave mobs are now removed as well. Pure chunk unloads (where the portal will come back) leave the mobs untouched as before. ## Note for existing worlds If you still have lingering wave mobs from earlier versions in your world, run `/doom cleanup mobs` once — they'll all be cleared out.
