Boss-gated teleport restrictions with lore themed flavour text and server sync capabilities.
Disclaimer this was vibe-coded using Copilot & Claude, I know a lot of people don't want to use AI content.
However, I don't program and this mod has been a bit of a learning experience while also getting some settings that my group really wanted.
🧙 Features
- 🔐 Teleport Restrictions: Prevents teleporting with specific items until the corresponding boss is defeated.

🌍 World Modifier Requirement: Casual Portals
Gate of Ore-thority assumes that your world uses the Casual Portals modifier, which allows players to teleport with ores and other heavy items. This is essential for the mod’s teleport restriction system to function meaningfully—without it, players would be blocked by vanilla mechanics before your mod even runs its checks.

🗝️ Teleport Restriction Keys
Gate of Ore-thority uses boss progression flags to restrict teleporting with specific items. These flags are stored in each player's custom data and are typically granted upon defeating the corresponding boss.

🧙 Multiplayer Boss Flag Behavior
Gate of Ore-thority relies on boss progression flags (e.g. defeated_bonemass) stored in each player’s custom data to determine teleport eligibility. These flags are typically granted when a boss is defeated—but how they’re distributed in multiplayer depends on proximity.
🔑 How Boss Flags Are Granted
- When a boss is killed, all players who are logged in and nearby will receive the corresponding boss flag.
- The flag is stored in each player’s m_customData and used by this mod to gate teleport access.
- The flag is not limited to the player who lands the killing blow.
📍 What Counts as “Nearby”?
- Players within approximately 50 meters of the boss at the moment of death are considered nearby.
- This includes anyone actively participating in the fight or spectating within render/combat range.
- Players who are far away (e.g. in another biome or dungeon) or offline will not receive the flag automatically.
🛠️ Mod Behavior
- Gate of Ore-thority checks each player’s m_customData for the required boss flag before allowing teleportation with gated items.
- If a player did not receive the flag due to distance or timing, they will be blocked from teleporting with those items until the flag is granted manually or via another mod.
🔐 Server Override
If Server authoritative is enabled in the config, clients will use the server-defined boss flags for teleport restrictions. This ensures consistent enforcement across multiplayer sessions.
📦 Installation

Place the GateOfOrethority.dll inside your BepInEx/plugins folder.
