In the Forest, the land below reflects the land above in the form of Root blocks. This is where things get a little bit more biome-dependent. Once you enter the Forest, pause the game and assess your surroundings. Unlike Nether Portals, Twilight Portals teleport you instantaneously, so make sure you have your sword selected and you are ready for a fight. Once you are prepared with food, armor, torches and equipment, step through the portal. Thus, a portal at, say, X = 437 Z = 872 would be estimated to link to a portal at about those same coordinates in the Forest. The Twilight Forest is a very dark realm, and darkness is dangerous here, unlike the Nether.Ī note about how the Forest works: whereas one block in the overworld equals eight in the Nether, the ratio with the Forest is 1:1. Get some food, some building blocks, and perhaps three or four stacks of torches in Coal and Wooden Planks. This is not advised teleporting to the Forest without being prepared can land one in a sticky situation, even if the coordinates are not divisible by 256.īefore entering, prepare oneself. This lightning bolt can deal minor damage, but it will most likely not harm the player unless the player was standing in the water, in which case the player would immediately be teleported to the Forest anyways and it would not matter. The portal will then be lit and take on a texture not unlike that of a Nether portal. The exact layout is as follows:Ī lightning bolt will strike the portal, even if you are underground. Since the Forest is a more "nature"-type world than the Nether, it requires grass and flowers instead of Obsidian. Thus, creating a portal here could land you in a boss battle with a Hydra or a Naga just after entering the forest.Īs with creating a Nether Portal, there is a specific layout for a Twilight Forest portal. Twilight Forest Landmarks, the most important structures for advancing, are located at coordinates where both are divisible by 256. X = 980) then this is a bad location for a portal. coordinates of X = 1024 Z = 512) or close to divisible (e.g. If both the X and Z coordinates are divisible by 256 (e.g. Altitude does not matter, but the X and Z are somewhat important. Open up the F3 menu while making the portal. The coordinates of the portal are also important. A note about portal locations: a portal requires a 4x4x4 cube to be set up properly, usually with a floor beneath it. Once a portal is established, it cannot be moved without great expense and difficulty. It is fine for the portal to be underground, but give yourself enough room to work with, and make sure that you do not set the portal up in a temporary location, as each portal costs a diamond to create. Once you feel comfortably set up with a good amount of resources and the two mandatory goals of some nature-type blocks and at least one Diamond have been satisfied, you can establish your first portal to the Forest. An established renewable food source of choice (animal farm, wheat farm, etc.).Enough Iron Ingots for a suit of quality armor NanoSuit also works fine if playing FTB."Nature"-type blocks flowers from vanilla and ExtrabiomesXL work fine, as do Indigo Flowers and blocks such as Ferns or Grass Dead Bushes will not work, but Mushrooms will at least twelve are necessary, but more are good (also mandatory, but lower priority as flowers & grass are not "rare", per se).Copper Ore, as Copper is sparse in the Twilight Forest more information on this in a bit.At least one Diamond (the one major mandatory thing to enter the Forest all other items are optional).
There are some resources and goals that should be immediately targeted: Do some mining, some caving, some resource gathering.
