How do you carry ore and metal through portals in Valheim?
Vanilla blocks copper, tin, iron and other metals from portals on purpose, so moving ore needs a mod that lifts that specific restriction. TeleportEverything is the one whose README documents transporting ores, ingots and carts. TargetPortal and XPortal solve a different problem — they replace tag pairing with a destination list — and neither claims to carry metals.
Mods that do this
TargetPortal
Smoothbrain
Lets you target any portal, instead of having to connect two portals via a tag.
XPortal
SpikeHimself
Select portal destination from a list of existing portals. No more tag pairing, and no more portal hubs! XPortal is a complete rewrite of the popular mod AnyPortal.
The details
TeleportEverything is the mod that addresses the metal restriction directly. Its README covers transporting ores, ingots and carts, and teleporting allies such as wolves, boars and lox. Attach yourself to a cart and the cart travels with you, which is the part most players actually want on an ore run.
It also changes how portals behave in combat, and that is worth knowing before you install it. The teleport mode is configurable: Standard keeps vanilla behaviour, Vikings don't run refuses to teleport while enemies are within a search radius, and Take them with you gives nearby enemies a chance to follow you through. Pick the mode deliberately rather than leaving it on whatever the profile shipped with.
Portal management is a separate axis, and this is where the common mix-up happens. TargetPortal replaces tag pairing with a map you click to choose a destination, and adds Public, Private, Group, Admin and Guild ownership modes — the Group and Guild modes need Smoothbrain's Groups and Guilds mods respectively. XPortal shows destinations as a list, removes the portal name length limit, lets you mark a Default Portal that new portals connect to automatically, and can ping a portal's location on the map. Neither README describes lifting the metal restriction.
TargetPortal and XPortal rebuild the same portal interaction, so install one, not both. If your goal is only ore, you do not need either of them; if your goal is only tidier portal management, you do not need TeleportEverything.
For multiplayer, read each README's install rule rather than assuming client-side. TargetPortal states it is required on the server as well. XPortal requires every player and the dedicated server to run the same version. TeleportEverything recommends server and clients, and its server-synced values — including the cart transport fee that can be charged on ores and ingots — are controlled by the server owner.

Related questions
- Why can't you portal metals in vanilla Valheim?
- It is a deliberate design choice that makes hauling ore a logistics problem and gives boats, carts and outposts a purpose. A mod has to override that restriction explicitly.
- Do portal-list mods like TargetPortal or XPortal let ore through?
- No. Both replace tag pairing with destination selection, and neither README claims to lift the metal restriction. If you want ore to teleport, install a mod that documents it, such as TeleportEverything.
- Is there a middle ground between full ore teleport and vanilla?
- Yes. TeleportEverything's cart transport can apply a configurable fee to ores and ingots carried in the cart, so the haul still costs something. That value is server-synced, so on a server the owner sets it.
