This is the first step in exploring a magical world. To make a portal to the Twilight Forest, make a 2x2 shallow pool (4 squares) of water in a grassy area, and surround it entirely with natural stuff (flowers, mushrooms, saplings or tall grass). As of Version 3.5.263, the portal can be any shape and size, as long as there is at least 4 blocks but no more than 64 blocks of water. Then throw a diamond in (with the "Q" key, by default) and stand back! | ||

If all of the above have been checked, but still no portal forms, you might have either come across a bug, or another mod might be conflicting with the creation process. | If all of the above have been checked, but still no portal forms, you might have either come across a bug, or another mod might be conflicting with the creation process. |
