I never got to try the Aether mod as a kid, but I saw this while browsing mods. I also have Immersive Portals, and thought it would be cool to add support for it. So, I spent the last hour and a half writing a datapack to support AR, and once I got it "working", I came to the Discord.(edited)
I then read the FAQs, and noticed that the description for "Immersive Portals works after a few tries" mimicked my resource pack.
So I turned off the Resource pack, and Immersive Portals just worked after a few tries. MFW the mod works on its own and I have no idea why(edited)
Did you specifically support Immersive Portals? Or is Immersive Portals just working partially based on your implementation of portals?

The creator of the portal API we use is @Kyrptonaught, so I'll give him a ping

Replying toOkaDid you specifically support Immersive Portals? Or is Immersive Portals just working…
We most likely did the same approach, the api does not specifically have support for IP. But it does include the datapack needed

Here’s the json used https://github.com/devs-immortal/The-Aether/blob/1.17/src/main/resources/data/the_aether/custom_portal_generation/ip_aether_portal.json

That's exactly the Json I have. What about, if you disable "blue_portal" generation with AR, then have the "aether_like" generation of the Immersive Portal: https://qouteall.fun/immptl/wiki/Datapack-Based-Custom-Portal-Generation It should generate first try that way, because blue_portal conflicts with IP generation otherwise
Like if you did add support, I think that would be the way to do it.
KyrptonaughtTeam04:32
IP also has the ability to generate portals, not just the custom rendering. I think your suggested approach would be switching the portals to be handled by IP, not just rendered by them(edited)
Oka04:32
Correct.
KyrptonaughtTeam04:33
That would function just fine for those with IP, but not for those without
Oka04:33
But the way it is now does work, only after a few tries.
KyrptonaughtTeam04:33
Or if you removed IP, all portals would be broken until relit

Replying toKyrptonaughtOr if you removed IP, all portals would be broken until relit
Pretty minor imo. At least it doesnt break the world.
KyrptonaughtTeam04:36
I do agree that the current approach isn’t ideal
IP does provide an api to be used by other mods, and that was something I was looking. So I could just trigger the rendering on portal ignite, rather than having to hop a few times
IMO I don’t exactly get why IP has the ability to handle portals as well, makes more sense for them to just stick with the cool rendering

AzzyypaarasTeam04:39
Didn't the rendering get split into a core mod at some point?
Or... wait no
Most of the IP API technical bits did, it is just that the nether and end portal are their own thing now
04:40
Right right, I should know this better since we are going to use it at some point

KyrptonaughtTeam04:40
Use it for what?
AzzyypaarasTeam04:40
Oka04:40
You could use it to stack dimensions
Is that what you were going to say?
😉
AzzyypaarasTeam04:41
It is a secret tool that will help us out later
And I told kyrp the reason in a staff chat
Oka04:41
Well It's a really cool mod, and I'm glad y'all might use it for implementation
K
KyrptonaughtTeam04:49
Oh it would actually be pretty neat to enable the dimension stacking
04:50
And would actually make sense, as falling out of the aether puts you in the overworld
- 👍1
AzzyypaarasTeam04:50
Well... hmm, actually it would be neat, maybe, in 1.18
iirc it can look kind of funky
Oka04:52
I think what you have now is perfectly inline with legacy, but I do think stacked dimensions would be next-level (pub intended) 🍹(edited)
AzzyypaarasTeam04:54
perhamps
A somewhat similar feature that is fully planned is to have an option to set the default world spawn to be in the aether
+ another option to make falling off of the aether just kill you
++ a third option to disable the default portal
Combine the three and you have a prime base to build an aether only pack on
Oka04:56
Replying toAzzyypaaras++ a third option to disable the default portal
But if IP is supported for the default portal, that'd be cool.
KyrptonaughtTeam04:57
It’s been on my todo list for a bit to look into IP’s api
Oka04:59
Perhaps the portal can have "Legacy", "Immersive" , and "Disabled" options.
I think IP only supports datapacks for custom dimensions, but I would investigate that / chat with the devs.
KyrptonaughtTeam05:07
It can be done through code with their api
Oka05:08
Oh, hooray
