I recenly swapped from Nethrar to Multiverse and i thought that mv-netherportals would make a portal for each new portal created by players in the normal world. Sadly it seems that it still works like vanilla in the sense that players with portals to close to each other still get linked.

So i wanted to request a feature that creates a unique portal (in the nether) for every new one build (in the world). This would mean that users entering a portal from the real world would come out of their own portal in the nether world and they would have to walk only a very short distance to cover allot of terrain (in the real world). Making the nether a nice way to get around (for players).

I hope you get what i mean and if not i'm happy to expand this a bit more.

Best regards,

This ticket is very old. If there's still a problem open a new one please. Also I think it's fixed: http://multiverse.github.com/news/better-end-support.html

Try setting the world scaling for all worlds to 1 with /mvm set scale 1

Hmm. Maybe we need another variable link-distance or something to specify the search radius, as the current behavior is the vanilla behavior and what most users want.

Thanks for the suggestions but i think that makes the world + nether the same size right? I tested it and this is not what i want.

What i want is to keep the scaling so people have a very short walking distance in the nether compared to the world (from portal > portal).

The addon nethrar does this on the fly.

Well it would be awesome if someone could add this for me, cause right this here is the reason i want to use a nether portal addon.

Thanks for thinking along.

Is there anyone that can tell me if this will be implemented and if so in which time frame?

Thanks.

No ETA. Sorry. I'm taking a bit of a break now, and none of our other devs have jumped on this. The code is open source, feel free to open a Pull Request, and we'll accept it presuming the guidelines are met (doesn't break other code, fits within the style, etc.)

I have many talents, sadly programming is not one of them. :)

Guess i will have to manually create portals for people right now.

Fern, I'm pretty sure is not an issue with Multiverse-NetherPotals. It looks like it is actually in the Minecraft server itself.

I did a test myself recently. My server has been using a communal portal since MC1.0 came out but I wanted a portal in my base since it's a good way from spawn. But sure enough my portal in the overworld came out at the communal portal in the nether.

Now a weird thing occurred. It did this regardless of NetherPortals being installed or not. So I tried building a portal in the nether and spawned a portal in the correct placement in the overworld AND they linked together correctly. I reinstalled NetherPortals and got the same thing.

So on a hunch, I shutdown the server and went to vanilla MC. Guess what. THE SAME THING. New overworld portals linked ONLY to the first nether portal in the nether. Building new portals in the nether would spawn a new portal in the overworld as expected. Also building a portal in the nether with the appropriate coordinates to an existing overworld portal also will link them properly.

Edit. It's not the first portal in the nether it takes you to. MC just spits you out at a portal in the nether that is "closest" to the one you created in the overworld. MC itself will make the very first portal from the overworld to the nether, but any others it it will assume the closest existing nether portal is the exit regardless if it SHOULD be building a new portal or not.

I posted a bug report on the MC Wiki and was told a little more information.

Nether portals seemed to have been changed between 1.2.4 and 1.2.5. In 1.2.4 a portal in the overworld would create a new one in the nether and roughly 1/8 the position. NOW it does a check to see if there is an existing portal in the nether within 128 blocks of the intended destination. If there is then it chooses the closest one available. If there isn't one then it will spawn a new portal. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Nether_Portal#Linkage_between_Overworld_and_Nether

Basically if you have an existing portal in the overworld, to make a new one spawn in the nether you have to be more than 1024 blocks away or be outside of that 128 block range in the nether where it checks.

It does seem that going to the intended destination in the nether and building a portal will link them
