Once you have finished configuring your portal in the Portal Creator, the last step is to give it an identifier, download the generated config file, and install it on your server. The whole process takes under a minute.
1

Enter a portal ID

Locate the ID: field in the top-left corner of the Portal Creator interface. Type the name you want to use for this portal — for example, nether or end_portal. This name becomes the portal’s identifier in-game and is also used as the file name for the downloaded config.
The portal file name is the portal’s identifier in-game. If you are using the Bungee addon to link portals across multiple servers, the portal ID must be identical on every server it appears on. A mismatch will prevent the cross-server link from working.
2

Download the config file

Click Portal Options in the Portal Creator toolbar, then click Download Config. Your browser will download a .yml file named after the portal ID you entered.
3

Place the file in the Portals folder

Move the downloaded .yml file into your server’s Portals directory:
./plugins/Dimensions/Portals/
If the Portals folder doesn’t exist yet, create it — Dimensions will read any .yml file placed there on startup.
4

Restart the server

Restart your Minecraft server to load the new portal configuration.
Use a full server restart, not /reload. Dimensions reads portal configs during startup; a reload may not register the new portal correctly.

​
Next steps

Your portal is now active in-game. If you need to fine-tune settings that aren’t exposed in the Portal Creator, you can open the downloaded .yml file in any text editor and edit it directly. See the portal configuration reference for a full breakdown of every available field.
