Description from the author on Modrinth

Glowy Nether Portals

This resourcepacks gives portals of any size (even ones spawned in using commands) a bright border around them.

This pack should work on any version above 1.8.9 up to the most recent as long as you use Optifine or Continuity

I publish all of my resourcepacks for free, and ad revenue is usually around 3$ per month from all of them combined, so any donations are very appreciated.
