Elven Portal Guide

Elven Portals allow you to travel to and from Middle-earth, and unlike the Ring Portal, you may construct as many as you wish and also break them if the need arises. To one of these portals you will need to go to Middle-earth through the Ring Portal first to gather the materials.

You do not need to construct these portals in Lothlórien: they can be constructed anywhere in Middle-earth, or even in the Overworld if you bring the materials with you.

1. Mine some Quendite First of all you will need to find Quendite Ore in Lothlórien or Lindon and mine its crystals. It can be up to layer 48, and is recognised by its blue colour and its distinctive shimmering texture. Once you have at least twelve crystals, to the surface.

2. Use the crystals on grass blocks Right-click a block of grass with a Quendite Crystal to form Quendite Grass. In this way, form a frame around a 3x3 space. Like a Nether Portal, filling in the corners is optional.

3. Fill the middle with water Dig out the area inside the frame, and fill it with water. Make sure that the blocks directly beneath the water are all solid.

4. Throw an Elven flower    in This can be either an Elanor or Niphredil flower.

And you've opened a portal! inside to be taken back to the Overworld (or Middle-earth, depending on where you made the portal). These portals will take you to the closest portal in the other dimension within 128 blocks, and if none exist, one will be created in a suitable position.

The portal can be deactivated in a number of ways: breaking the blocks underneath it, pouring a liquid in, or simply breaking the frame will cause it to disappear.
