📖About Instant Nether Portals
⚡ InstantNetherPortals
Tired of standing in a Nether portal for 4 seconds? This lightweight plugin makes portal teleportation instant — in both directions (Overworld → Nether and Nether → Overworld).
No libraries, no bloat. Drop it in and go.
✨ Features
- Instant teleportation — no more waiting animation
- Both directions — Overworld ↔ Nether
- Configurable delay — set anywhere from 0 ticks (instant) to 80 ticks (vanilla)
- Chunk pre-loading — destination chunks are loaded before you arrive, preventing freeze on arrival
- Per-player permissions — fully compatible with LuckPerms
- Toggle command — enable/disable without restarting
- Live reload — change config without restarting the server

📋 Requirements
| Server (full support) | Paper 1.21.8 (Purpur & Pufferfish also work) |
| Server (loads, no instant portals) | Spigot / Bukkit 1.21.8 |
| Java | 21+ |
Paper is required for instant portal teleportation. On Spigot/Bukkit the plugin loads and chunk pre-loading works in basic async mode, but the instant teleport feature requires Paper's NMS access.
🔧 How it works
Paper 1.21.8 tracks the portal wait timer inside a PortalProcessor object. Each server tick the plugin advances that timer to maxTime − delay, so the game fires the teleport after exactly delay more ticks. At delay = 0 this takes 1–2 ticks (~50–100 ms) — completely imperceptible.
While a player is near a portal, the plugin pre-loads a 17×17 chunk area at the destination coordinates before they step in. This prevents the freeze or lag spike that normally occurs when the server generates destination chunks on arrival.
