Beyond The Curve

Beyond the Curve

⚠️ BETA RELEASE WARNING

Beyond the Curve is currently considered a beta by the RiftCraft Studios development team. As this is the mod’s first public release, players may encounter bugs, compatibility issues, or unfinished behavior. Please report any problems you discover so they can be addressed in future updates.

Beyond the Curve is a Minecraft mod inspired by the animated series Rick and Morty. The mod introduces portal technology through a complete survival progression system involving specialized machinery, advanced components, Portal Fluid production, and the construction of a functional Portal Gun. 

Portal Guns

Portal Gun

The current release includes one fully functional Portal Gun capable of:

-Saving and managing up to 64 destinations

-Traveling across long distances

-Traveling between dimensions

-Saving exact coordinates

-Renaming, editing, and color-coding destinations

-Creating portals on floors, walls, and ceilings

-Operating underwater and beneath lava

-Displaying the installed Portal Flask and remaining fluid level

-Damaging and temporarily poisoning mobs with direct shots

Portal Fluid is consumed whenever the Portal Gun is fired in Survival Mode. The installed Portal Flask can be removed, refilled, and reinstalled through the mod’s machine progression.

Additional Portal Gun models, variants, upgrades, and related technologies are planned for future updates.

Dynamic Portals

Portals are animated and react according to the surface on which they are created. They can form horizontally, vertically, or upside down depending on whether they are placed on a floor, wall, or ceiling.

Connected portals can transport:

-Players

-Mobs

-Arrows

-Thrown items

-Projectiles

-Primed TNT

-Falling blocks

-Water

-Lava

Portal orientation affects the position and direction from which entities emerge. The system also prevents fall damage during portal-assisted movement.

Portals can be created underwater or beneath lava without being destroyed. Liquids can pass through a connected portal and create temporary flows at the destination. Once the portal closes, these flows naturally drain.

Both connected portals use synchronized opening, active, and closing animations.

Machines

Portal Gun Workbench

A specialized assembly station used to construct the Portal Gun and install or remove its Portal Flask. Two workbenches placed beside each other can connect visually to form a larger workstation.

Compact Particle Accelerator

Processes advanced materials through concentrated particle energy. The machine changes appearance while operating and produces visible aqua particles during processing.

Quantum Liquefier

Combines quantum materials, stabilizing substances, coolant, and an Empty Glass Ampoule to produce a Quantum Travel Ampoule. Used Coolant Canisters are returned as Empty Coolant Canisters so they can be refilled.

Portal Fluid Synthesizer

Produces Portal Fluid using processed quantum materials and dimensional components. The machine changes through multiple visual processing stages before filling an Empty Portal Flask.

Items and Components

The current version includes the following items:

Portal Technology

 

-Coordinate Cartridge

-Portal Flask

-Portal Emitter

-Stabilization Coil

-Dimensional Targeting Array

-Fluid Injection Assembly

-Reinforced Gun Casing

Quantum Materials

 

-Quantum Travel Base

-Quantum Travel Ampoule

-Glass Ampoule

-Stabilizer Gel

-Dimensional Catalyst

-Dark Matter Trace

-Empty Coolant Canister

-Coolant Canister

Electronic Components

 

-Copper Wire

-Insulated Quantum Cable

-Basic Circuit Board

-Quantum Control Board

-Flux Regulator

-Dark Matter Sensor

-Amethyst Focusing Crystal

Mechanical Components

 

-Synthetic Polymer

-Reinforced Metal Plate

-Precision Gear

-Pressure Valve

These materials and components form the complete manufacturing progression required to construct the machines, produce Portal Fluid, and assemble the Portal Gun.

Portal Damage

Firing directly at a living entity does not create a portal on the nearest surface. Instead, the energy ray damages the target and applies temporary portal poisoning.

Affected entities produce smoke and portal-energy particles for the duration of the effect. Smaller creatures may be eliminated immediately, while larger entities receive controlled damage and remain poisoned temporarily.

Survival Progression

The Portal Gun cannot be produced through a single basic recipe. Players must:

1. Manufacture mechanical and electronic components.

2. Construct the required processing machines.

3. Produce and stabilize quantum materials.

4. Create Quantum Travel Ampoules.

5. Synthesize Portal Fluid.

6. Assemble the Portal Gun using the Portal Gun Workbench.

7. Install a filled Portal Flask before using the device.

This progression is designed to make portal technology a significant survival achievement rather than an immediately available transportation item.

Compatibility

-Minecraft 1.20.1

-Forge 47.4.10 or newer

-Java 17

-Single-player and multiplayer

-Client and dedicated server

Future Updates

Future versions of Beyond the Curve are planned to expand the mod with additional Portal Gun variants, new technologies, more machines, further crafting components, additional visual effects, and improvements to portal behavior.

Required Dependency

GeckoLib is required to run Beyond the Curve.

Install the appropriate GeckoLib version for Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge.

Recommended Mod

Just Enough Items (JEI) is strongly recommended.

JEI provides an accessible way to view the mod’s recipes and follow its machine and crafting progression.
