Warp Portals are the way you’re able to teleport around your world in Ars Nouveau, and they’re made by throwing a 
Warp Scroll into a frame of 
Sourcestone. Once one is built, walking through it takes you straight to the spot that was written on the scroll, and it doesn’t cost anything to use it after that.
A Warp Scroll can also be used on its own for a single teleport, which is handy when you’re far from home. There’s also the 
Stabilized Warp Scroll, which is the only way to get between dimensions, so it’s worth knowing how all three of them work before you start building portals around your base.
Warp Scrolls
A Warp Scroll is crafted from a 
Blank Parchment, four 
Lapis Lazuli and four 
Source Gems. To write a location onto it, you’ll need to stand where you want to go back to and use the scroll while sneaking, which records your position and the way you’re facing. If you’re holding a stack of them, only one gets written, and the rest stay blank.
Using a written Warp Scroll without sneaking teleports you back to that spot, and the scroll is used up. It only works in the same dimension it was written in though, so a scroll written in the Overworld won’t do anything while you’re in the Nether. A Warp Scroll can also send other mobs somewhere, as casting Blink on a mob while you’re holding a written scroll in your offhand warps it to the scroll’s location.
If you want more than one scroll for the same spot, the 
Enchanting Apparatus is able to copy one for 1,000 Source. You’ll need to put the written scroll in the middle and a blank Warp Scroll on an 
Arcane Pedestal, and you’ll get two written scrolls back, both going to the same spot.
Building a Warp Portal
A Warp Portal needs a frame, a written Warp Scroll and 9,000 Source. The frame can be built from Sourcestone or any of the decorative blocks from Ars Nouveau, like the different Sourcestone patterns, and it can be any rectangle from 1 by 1 up to 21 by 21 on the inside. It’s able to stand upright like a Nether Portal, or lie flat on the ground.
Once the frame is done, you’ll need a 
Source Jar within 10 blocks that has at least 9,000 Source in it, and then you just throw the written Warp Scroll into the middle of the frame. The portal fills in, the Source is taken, and the scroll is used up. On the latest version, the Source can come from a few Source Jars together, whereas on 1.20.1 a single Source Jar has to hold all of it.
Anything that goes through the portal is sent to the scroll’s location, including mobs, dropped items and even spells, which opens up a few interesting uses like sending items across your base. Using the 
Dominion Wand on the portal switches it to a different texture, if you’d rather it didn’t look the same as the others.
Warp Portals are always one way, so if you want to get back, you’ll need a second portal at the other end that points back to the first one. Most players end up building them in pairs, with each one using a scroll that was written next to the other portal.
Stabilized Warp Scrolls
The Stabilized Warp Scroll is made in the Enchanting Apparatus, by putting a normal Warp Scroll in the middle with four 
Blaze Powder and two 
Ender Pearls on the pedestals. It’s written the same way, by using it while sneaking, but it can only ever be written once, so you’ll want to be sure about the location first.
Unlike a normal Warp Scroll, it isn’t used up when you use it. Using it on a block opens a small temporary portal to its location, which lasts for about a minute before it disappears, and this works between dimensions too. That makes it the easiest way to get home from the Nether or the End, since you’re able to keep using the same scroll.
A Stabilized Warp Scroll can also be thrown into a portal frame like a normal one. That uses it up, but the portal it makes is able to send you to a different dimension, which a normal Warp Scroll can’t do. So it’s the one you’ll want for a permanent link between your base and a Nether hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Build a rectangle frame from Sourcestone, place a Source Jar with at least 9,000 Source within 10 blocks, and throw a written Warp Scroll into the frame. The portal will fill in and take you to the location written on the scroll.
Stand where you want the scroll to take you, and use the Warp Scroll while sneaking. It records your position and the direction you’re facing, and it’ll tell you in chat once it’s been written.
A normal Warp Scroll can’t, and only works in the dimension it was written in. The Stabilized Warp Scroll is able to, either as a temporary portal that lasts about a minute, or as a permanent Warp Portal if you throw it into a frame.
No, the 9,000 Source is only taken once when the portal is created. After that, anything is able to go through it as many times as you like without costing anything.
