No, I think I see what he means, and if Im right its a viable fix. The only down side to using unlit portals was that they're not as clearly portals, so you might wander a bit looking for them or walk into them accidentally. A functional portal with a lit portal behind it for appearance only would solve both problems, the only downside being the increased need for obsidian.

Yeah this is what I was going for.

For those of you who have also been making underwater cities: I think we can make this into a great thing. Rather than all competing to see who can make the most badass water city, we should network them into one giant kickass water city. Currently I have a small underwater area that consists of two connected chambers (more in progress) that can be accessed through the portal "WaterCity1". Anyone who has similar underwater construction stuff feel free to PM me or post in this thread and we'll work out a little network between them all.

RUNNING CREATIVE UNTIL TUESDAY

BECAUSE VERIFIEDZ DEMANDED IT

Isn't it possible to place portal blocks in inventory and place them? I'm sure I've seen portal blocks outside of an obsidian frame on other multiplayer maps.

Just stick those on the existing portals and problem solved.

Hey, I know we said there was no swearing, but what if we just throw random horrible words out there in the hopes that he'll google search them and be scarred? Like Futanari?

Arhra, if you do that, you'll just run into the same problem you have with a lit portal. It isn't empty so you cant spawn in it.

I'm just going to say: Keep it PG. Keeps it safer.

So help me I will hijack a satellite and drop it on your house.

cause they are nowhere near one another, and we each put far too much work on them to just abandon them. I mean I started mine before we got the give command, do you have any freakin idea how hard it is to collect that much sand?

Before we got the give command? Is yours on the creative server Aerozord? Mine is one the Survival multiverse. Besides, distance is irrelevant when you can make portals. I wasn't suggesting anyone abandon their project, but each continue to work on their respective tunnels with portals connecting them all.
