Teleporter
Teleporter is an IC2 mod machine that links two units via a Frequency Transmitter and warps a player plus inventory between them for a distance-squared EU cost.

Description
Teleporter is a high-tier electrical machine from the IndustrialCraft 2 mod (IC2) that instantly transports a player and the player's full inventory between two linked Teleporter blocks in the same dimension. Each Teleporter holds an internal EU buffer (up to several million EU on the classic IC2 1.7.10/1.12.2 builds) and consumes energy based on cargo mass plus the squared Cartesian distance between the source and target Teleporter, so long jumps drain the buffer faster than short hops. Crafting a Teleporter requires an Advanced Machine Block, four Advanced Circuits, a Diamond, and Glowstone Dust on the standard IC2 crafting grid, placing it firmly in the late-game electrical tier alongside the MFSU and the Mass Fabricator.
To activate a Teleporter, the player links two units with a Frequency Transmitter: shift-right-clicking the source Teleporter binds its coordinates to the tool, and right-clicking the destination Teleporter writes the pair. A player standing on top of a fully charged Teleporter is then sent to the linked one the moment the target side has enough EU stored. Teleporter is a Java-only IC2 mod block and has no Bedrock Edition counterpart; it is also unrelated to vanilla minecraft:end_gateway or minecraft:end_portal, which use End-dimension mechanics instead of EU. Late-game IC2 bases pair Teleporter with HV Solar Arrays or a Nuclear Reactor to keep the buffer topped up for cross-base commuting.

Guide
How to set up and use a Teleporter in IndustrialCraft 2
-
1
Craft a Teleporter
Combine one Advanced Machine Block, four Advanced Circuits, one Diamond, and Glowstone Dust on a Crafting Table to produce a single Teleporter block.
-
2
Place both Teleporters
Set the first Teleporter at the origin base and the second at the destination, leaving the top face clear so the player can stand on it for transport.
-
3
Wire EU power
Connect each Teleporter to an HV input — typically an MFSU through HV Cables — so the buffer can fill to the millions of EU that long jumps require.
-
4
Link with Frequency Transmitter
Shift-right-click the source Teleporter with a Frequency Transmitter to copy its coordinates, then right-click the destination Teleporter to write the pair.
-
5
Stand on the source
Step onto the source Teleporter; when the destination has enough EU stored for the distance and the carried mass, the Teleporter sends the player to the linked block.
Tip
Energy cost scales with the squared distance plus inventory mass, so a Teleporter chain of two short hops can be cheaper than one long jump across an IC2 base.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft a Teleporter in IndustrialCraft 2?
Place one Advanced Machine Block, four Advanced Circuits, one Diamond, and Glowstone Dust on a standard Crafting Table — the IC2 recipe yields one Teleporter block.
How do you link two Teleporters?
Use a Frequency Transmitter: shift-right-click the source Teleporter to copy its coordinates, then right-click the destination Teleporter to write the linked pair.
How much EU does a Teleporter use per jump?
Energy cost scales with the squared Cartesian distance plus the mass of the player's inventory, so short hops cost only a fraction of what long, heavily loaded jumps drain from the buffer.
Is the Teleporter available in Bedrock Edition?
No — Teleporter is part of IndustrialCraft 2, a Java Edition mod, so the block does not exist in Bedrock Edition or in any official vanilla version of Minecraft.
Is Teleporter the same as a vanilla End Gateway?
No — Teleporter is an EU-powered IC2 mod machine for paired in-dimension warps, while minecraft:end_gateway and minecraft:end_portal are vanilla blocks tied to End-dimension travel.
