V8.16.1

Fixes

• #526: Fixed laser not passing through portals placed on SOUTH, EAST, or UP-facing surfaces. The 0.5-block laser movement step could skip the air-side detection zone entirely and hit the quartz surface block, preventing teleportation. Laser portal detection now also triggers on block-hit events and uses a wider detection zone along the normal axis.

V8.16.0

Features

• #526: Added the Portal Gun and Portal Surface system.
  • Portal Gun: A new item (enchanted shears) that can be obtained from a Mirror Chest. Left click places a blue portal, right click places an orange portal.
  • Portal Surface: A new placeable block (quartz block) that serves as a valid surface for portal placement. Available in the component selector menu.
  • Mirror Chest Portal Gun toggle: Mirror Chests can now optionally contain a Portal Gun. A new toggle in the content editor menu lets puzzle creators enable or disable it.
  • Portal placement: Ray tracing from the player's eye detects Portal Surfaces within 75 blocks. Portals are rendered as ~8 BlockDisplay entities forming an elliptical shape (1.8×0.8 blocks). Automatic clamping adjusts placement near surface edges, and overlap with existing portals is prevented.
  • Multi-player color pairs: Each player is assigned a unique color pair (up to 6 players per area) so portals are visually distinguishable.
  • Player teleportation: Walking through a portal teleports the player to the linked portal while conserving momentum (speed and direction are transformed based on portal orientations). Anti-bounce protection uses a hybrid approach (temporal cooldown + positional immunity).
  • Laser teleportation: Lasers entering a portal are teleported to the linked portal, preserving color, light level, and direction (transformed to match exit orientation). Infinite laser loops between facing portals are naturally bounded.
  • Portal lifecycle: Portals are automatically destroyed when the player leaves the area, disconnects, loses the Portal Gun, or when the surface/front blocks are broken or obstructed. Area reset clears all portals.
  • Sound effects: Distinct sounds for portal portal creation (fail or success), and player teleportation.
  • Custom events: BeforePlayerPortalTeleportEvent (cancellable) and AfterPlayerPortalTeleportEvent (informational) for third-party plugin integration.
  • Component Selection: Reorganized the component selector menu into a 4×9 layout.

Fixes

• #534: Fixed duration-based leaderboards (total time spent, record duration, first run won duration) being incorrectly sorted.

V8.15.0

Features

• #524: Mirror Chests can now contain mirrors of multiple colors and quantities. A new paginated menu lets you configure each color independently.

V8.14.3

Fixes

• #522 #219: Fixed pistons unable to extend when laser light blocks were in their path. Light blocks placed by lasers are now cleared from the piston's extension path when it receives redstone power.

V8.14.2

Fixes

• #523: Fixed laser solidifier producing incorrect glass colors when a laser sender changes color (e.g. via scheduled color change). Stale glass from the previous tick no longer filters the new particles before solidification updates.
