Press the G key to “flick the switch” on the gun and use the portal of the other colour. Use the core to make the portal gun as so: Now, on to the mod, which I’m calling Portal Gun Classic. This took a lot less time because I was much more familiar with Minecraft’s code base, I was much better with Java, and (you could say) I knew what I was doing. This rewrite, took 9 hours (over two days). When I first started modding, PG took me about two weeks to write and test and eventually release, in its own little buggy state. I’ve went back and found the very first version of PG ever released for Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 (thanks to modmuss50), used the textures and sounds from back then, and rewrote the earlier versions of PG for Minecraft 1.12.2. And so, with that, I wanted to highlight to you all how much seven years of being persistent, of regular practice, and of learning new things, can do to a project. I wasn’t wrong, but I wasn’t right either.Īnyway, I was thinking back to how PG used to be, and how it has gone through multiple iterations as its been rewritten at least 4 times now, I’ve lost count to be honest, but every time I rewrote the mod, I had already learnt more and more about Java and programming in general.

I started out barely knowing Java, thinking that it couldn’t be much different from JavaScript. Lately, I’ve been thinking, woah, I’ve been making mods for Minecraft for seven years now. The Portal Gun (PG) mod has been around for Minecraft for a very very long time.
