Black Stuff
Shouldn't this be renamed "Unnamed Black Block", or something like that? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Craftykids (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:57, 5 October 2011. Please sign your posts with
 * prerelease 3 tomorrow, we'll learn the real name then, no need to fight over it now --Wizjany 21:58, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

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 colored 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)
 * No, it's not a pokemon. --HexZyle 05:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Appearance 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 tile entity is "Airportal". --Wizjany 20:49, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


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


 * 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)

Speed Increase
Am I the only one whose player moves much faster while moving over this block? If not, we should add it to the page.

-Tedious- (or _Ion_, ingame) 23:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That doesn't happen to me. ☁ Shockman25 ☂ Talk ☁ 05:35, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't move any faster. It's just an illusion due to the appearance of the block. 96.245.177.118 03:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Air Portal Frame
I want to add this to the top paragraph but it isn't working: They occur inside Ender Portal Frames in the pre-release versions of the game. --gmip 58.106.67.247 06:20, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorting out these Portal Pages
Thinking of doing the same thing that is done with the Nether Portal pages to this one. The link - Portal leads to a disambiguation page. This contains:

Nether Portal - the formation of obsidian and portal
 * Technical blocks - the purple portal that is on the technical blocks page

Ender Portal (structure) - the formation of ender frame and ender portal blocks (as a mimic of the Nether portal page set up)
 * Ender Portal Frame - The blocks with the Eye of Ender insets in them
 * Ender Portal - the starry design portal blocks, which should really belong on the technical blocks page with the other portal block.

I propose some moves.


 * Ender Portal moves/merges with Technical blocks (new section)
 * Ender Portal Frame remains where it is...until the official name is discovered
 * Ender Portal (Structure) which doesn't exist yet, should be called "Ender Portal" (but cannot yet as the Ender Portal is sitting on that page name at the moment) and probably look something like this

I have brought this up on all talk pages that it regards, and any comments you have please add here: Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal as somewhat of a megathread to all of whom it concerns --HexZyle 04:41, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Can you pick up the ender portal frame in 1.9 pre 4?
Since there's no information about this whatsoever on any of the pages concerning the portal, I've decided to ask myself. If you were to break a block from the End Portal Frame in 1.9 pre release 4, would you be able to pick it up and place it where you like? Mybabypetghast 04:48, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so. Ender portal frames work just like they do in pre3, just with a reskin. --HexZyle 05:14, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Recreation
Can a working end portal be 100 % player manufactured using the portal blocks and ender eyes with the aid of an inventory mod such as too many items?--BTH 05:42, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have been experimenting by giving myself block 120 using NBTedit in creative mode. You can create portals, if you construct them following a certain set of rules.


 * I am going to add this information and a bit more that I discovered while testing.74.192.10.38 09:09, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

first image is incorrect
I've noticed that the first image in the gallery of a 1.9 pre4 portal is not constructed correctly, and was likely built by a player who hacked the portal blocks into their inventory. Genuine portals are all built with the portal frame blocks oriented so that the blue decorative lines on the upper face point perpendicular to the row of portal blocks. The portal depicted would fail to activate if the player put the final Eye of Ender in any of the frame blocks on the sides. Perhaps a new image should be added? 165.91.45.184 07:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Upon closer inspection, I agree. It appears as if he has constructed the entire room using jeb's video for reference. --HexZyle 21:23, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, the schematics are incorrect. I'll have to see if i can rotate the sprites in Template:BlockSprite --HexZyle 21:26, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Seed
Anyone have a seed for a big stronghold with an ender portal in it? (WHIT directions?) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.109.238.63 (Talk) 14:25, 22 November 2011. Please sign your posts with
 * Make a creative world and keep throwing Eyes of Ender to find one yourself. --Saphireking65 15:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a seed with a stronghold below your spawn point, better use creative for this one, works in MC 1.0.0 seed: "single player commands test" Ricarte 13:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

per world
Is there only ever one end portal in a world, or can there be multiples? --76.24.104.23 05:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Always 3. HotdogPi 23:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Silk Touch?
Can the End Portal Blocks (the ones you insert eyes into) be picked up using Silk Touch enchantment? 153.107.33.154 01:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure End Portal blocks are indestructible, so no. Cobalt32 02:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Layers?
I've heard that End Portals are always on layer 32. Is that true? HotdogPi 01:50, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, that is not true. Anyone know the average? HotdogPi 23:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Possible Names for the End Portal Frame
If End Portal Frame is not the official name then here are some suggestions: Endstone Portal, Ender Slot, or Dark Portal 90.191.11.233 20:50, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * In snapshot 12w23b, the frame block is called 'End Portal'. I suggest something like HexZyle's proposal above: move this page to 'End Portal (structure)' (or similar), move 'End Portal Frame' to 'End Portal', and keep the portal block itself at Technical Blocks. However, the name may change in later snapshots, so I'd wait until after 1.3 comes out to move pages around. -- Orthotope 06:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with that (sorry about the post above yours, I wasn't logged in) MaryTheTiger 21:14, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Texture
It still displays incorrectly for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Any advice on how to fix this? 76.24.186.182 08:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

1.3.1 Exit Portal
Can't place block ID 119 in the end to create your own exit portal? instantly despawning. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.169.251.60 (Talk) 09:04, 6 August 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * This happens when the ender dragon has not yet been killed. -- Orthotope 16:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

kill the ender dragon first then try but be ready for a story! =)  108.90.0.158 18:59, 9 October 2012 (UTC)SamBassBuilder

sheep!
there are strange noises coming from my end portal! whenever i get close to it,about 20 sheep start bleating! what is going on?

exit portal
i was round my mate bens house last week and he had a weird glitch in the end so he had to restart mc when we got back on mc the enderdragon had spawned into the overworld. we didnt want it to destroy the land so we killed it we got the end achievment and the dragon egg. we decided to go throught the exit portel to see what happend we were teleported to the end where another enderdragon awaited. i was under the impression end exit portels only teleported you to the overworld? 92.18.225.182 15:33, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Both portals use the same actual portal block, which doesn't know which structure it's part of. In the End, portals take you back to the overworld; in the overworld (or Nether), they take you to the End. -- Orthotope 16:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

end portal mishap
I was on a multiplayer server and I went to the end while I was there I saw a too many Items end portal you know the one without the frame you get in too many Items when I went through it when I did the mc logo popped up and the backround dirt was fuzzy the words were on the scren and I was a story then the credits the story was long. has anyone had this experience? if so please tell me
