How to Make Teleporter in Minecraft

Teleporter — Minecraft block

Teleporter

Teleporter is an IC2 mod machine that pairs two units with a Frequency Transmitter and warps a player plus inventory between them for an EU cost that grows with distance and cargo weight.

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 units in the same dimension. Teleporter carries no internal EU buffer of its own: power is pulled straight from storage blocks placed directly against the machine (an MFE or an MFSU; several adjacent storages drain evenly), and no cable can attach at all. Pairing is done with a Frequency Transmitter — right-click the first Teleporter, then right-click the second with the tool, and right-click any other block to wipe the stored link. Once paired, a redstone signal applied to the sending Teleporter instantly warps the player standing one block above it to the destination.

The EU price follows the formula 5 × weight × (distance + 10)^0.7 — not the square of distance: a player counts as 1000 weight, each worn armor piece adds 100, and every full inventory stack adds 100 more (roughly 5000 worst case), while animals weigh 100 and mobs 500, so they can be warped too. Because the distance exponent sits below 1, one long direct jump always costs less than two chained hops, and dropping armor before traveling cuts the bill. A Teleporter is crafted from four Advanced Circuits, two Glass Fibre Cables, one Frequency Transmitter, one Advanced Machine Block, and a Diamond, placing it in the late-game electrical tier alongside the MFSU. Teleporter exists only as a Java Edition IC2 mod block with no Bedrock Edition counterpart, and the vanilla End Gateway and End Portal are separate blocks tied to End-dimension travel rather than EU.

Guide

How to set up and use a Teleporter in IndustrialCraft 2

  1. 1

    Craft two Teleporters

    Combine four Advanced Circuits, two Glass Fibre Cables, one Frequency Transmitter, one Advanced Machine Block, and one Diamond on a Crafting Table to produce a single Teleporter; a working link needs two units.

  2. 2

    Place both Teleporters

    Set the first Teleporter at the origin base and the second at the destination; entities warp from the space one block above the machine, so the side faces stay free for storage.

  3. 3

    Attach storage, not cables

    Set an MFE or an MFSU directly against each Teleporter, because cables cannot connect to the machine at all; more adjacent storage covers longer or heavier jumps.

  4. 4

    Link with Frequency Transmitter

    Right-click the first Teleporter with a Frequency Transmitter, then right-click the second to write the pair; right-click any other block to clear the tool's stored coordinates.

  5. 5

    Fire the jump with redstone

    Stand one block above the sending Teleporter and activate a redstone signal; with enough EU in the adjacent storage, the jump fires instantly.

Tip

Direct beats chained: distance is raised to the power of 0.7 in the cost formula, so one long jump always spends less EU than two shorter hops, and stripping armor before boarding cuts the weight-based price.

Frequently asked questions

How do you craft a Teleporter in IndustrialCraft 2?

The recipe yields one Teleporter from four Advanced Circuits, two Glass Fibre Cables, one Frequency Transmitter, one Advanced Machine Block, and one Diamond on a standard Crafting Table — build two to form a link.

How do you link two Teleporters?

Hold a Frequency Transmitter and right-click the first Teleporter, then right-click the second — a plain right-click on both, no sneaking; right-clicking any other block clears the stored coordinates.

How much EU does a Teleporter use per jump?

The cost equals 5 × weight × (distance + 10)^0.7: a player weighs 1000, plus 100 per worn armor piece and 100 per full inventory stack (about 5000 worst case), while animals weigh 100 and mobs 500. Distance scales sub-linearly, so doubling range does not double the bill.

Why won't cables power a Teleporter?

The machine has no internal buffer and accepts no cable connections: it draws EU only from storage blocks such as an MFE or an MFSU placed directly adjacent, and several adjacent storages drain simultaneously and evenly.

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.
