Moonbound Gateway

Quickstart

1. Use an anvil to rename a Name Tag to Moon.
2. Drop the renamed tag beside a lit Nether portal. The tag is consumed, and a MOON ROUTE marker appears above the portal.
3. Step through the portal to travel to the Moon. You’ll arrive at a landing platform and automatically put on the astronaut suit.
4. To return, run /moonmod Earth while on the Moon, or rename another Name Tag to Earth or Home, drop it beside a lit portal there, and step through.

Names are not case-sensitive. Run /moonmod help in chat for the travel instructions.

Overview

Moonbound Gateway uses named Name Tags to assign destinations to lit Nether portals. A charged portal displays a route marker so you can tell where it leads. The Moon is a separate destination with a landing site, supplies, and a visible Earth landmark.

What It Adds

• A Moon destination reached through a portal tagged Moon.
• Return travel from the Moon using an Earth or Home portal tag, or a command.
• A four-piece astronaut suit automatically equipped upon arrival.
• A landing platform, supply chests, and a blue-and-green Earth landmark.

How To Use

Drop a renamed Name Tag within a couple of blocks of a lit portal; it does not need to be used directly on the portal. The tag is consumed when the route is set. The route marker identifies the destination: MOON ROUTE appears in gray, and EARTH RETURN appears in green.

To return by portal, make or use a lit Nether portal on the Moon, charge it with a Name Tag named Earth or Home, then step through. Alternatively, /moonmod Earth returns you directly from the Moon.

Crafting And Obtaining

No crafting recipes are provided for the astronaut suit. You receive and equip the full suit automatically when you arrive on the Moon. To obtain individual pieces with commands, use:

• /give @s moonbound-gateway-rzout6ts:astronaut_helmet
• /give @s moonbound-gateway-rzout6ts:astronaut_chestplate
• /give @s moonbound-gateway-rzout6ts:astronaut_leggings
• /give @s moonbound-gateway-rzout6ts:astronaut_boots

Abilities And Mechanics

The astronaut suit has helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. On arrival, it replaces any armor you’re wearing in those slots; displaced items go into your inventory or drop if there is no room. When you return to Earth, the suit pieces are removed and placed in your inventory, or dropped if it is full.

Progression And Strategy

Check the two supply chests near the landing platform. Each contains cooked beef, iron ingots, torches, and glass bottles; one also has a golden apple, and the other has firework rockets. Look toward the blue-and-green Earth landmark above the horizon to orient yourself, and set up an Earth or Home return portal before exploring farther.
