Talk:End portal

Shouldn't this be renamed "Unnamed Black Block", or something like that? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by (Talk)  Please sign your posts with

Black Stuff
Wow, really? I don't think this is worth an article.... Electrk 22:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
 * just give it 24 hours, by which point there will be a lot more info and a new name --Wizjany 22:19, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Wait, WHAT? Tell me what this is all about! --Captain_Clam 22:47, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Looks like stars and sparklies to me. Probably a new mineral. (But I bet a bunch of people are gonna get freaked out and thing Notch is changing obsidian...) --Captain_Clam 22:52, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

IDK what it is. But to me, with the blackness and the random coulored spots, it just looks like oil...--BTH 23:37, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Personally a new mineral is something we needed all along. More than likely its a rare mineral for the potions/brewing coming out. --Throex 23:45, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Also, Wizjany.. You said prerelease 3 tomorrow? How do you know of that? --Throex 23:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Twitter...let me go get it...here, http://twitter.com/notch/status/121671215147528192 --Wizjany 01:40, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Just thought of something: Magnetite? --Captain_Clam 01:31, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Appearanace in 1.9 prerelease 3?
So, is it there or not?--BTH 20:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, here's the fun part: It has no official name. It also seems to be pretty much unused, although it does use TileEntity data, but nothing besides the base "id, x, y, z". The id for the tilentity is "Airportal". --Wizjany 20:49, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Its page time.--BTH 20:57, 6 October 2011 (UT C)


 * it seems to be some kind of portal, case we have 3rd dimension pre-generation in server console now, and "tunnel.png" file in minecraft.jar --DaveDee 21:36, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * it's almost certainly the portal to the skylands, although nothing happens yet, probably for pre4 or release --Wizjany 21:40, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * My thoughts as well. --HexZyle 23:45, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Technical Block
Like the Nether Portal Block this is a Technical block and should be listed on that page, and linked to via re-direct. --96.227.157.254 17:57, 7 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Lets wait until we know more about it to do make changes that major. Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 17:59, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the name
Regardless of where it leads, the block's only source of a name comes from the ID of the tile entity it uses, and it was decided that it should be left like that. The only other suitable name is "weird black stuff", because that's what notch said once (http://twitter.com/notch/status/121974152998567936). The block does not directly have a name in code, so it's probably that he was just trying to keep it secret. --Wizjany 20:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
