Talk:Nether portal

Alternate type of Nether Portal?
I already know that you can create 2 Nether Portals sharing one common side. However, can someone who has more obsidian than me tell me if you can create 2 Nether Portals that cross through each other? (I assume that the answer is no, but I will describe it here...) For example, if you have 2 3x5 portal and make it so that they intersect each other (so that they share NOT a common side, but a common CENTER) and ignite the one block that they share, would that create one portal, 2 portals in the formation above, or just plain, straight 0?

 * Only the portal oriented east-west will activate. -- Orthotopetalk 18:53, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Doesn't it depend on which one was activated first? The BlobsPaper.png 21:46, 27 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Not if you activate on a shared point, which was the question. – KnightMiner  t/c 22:11, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Pigmen from portals ignore the mob cap, true or false
I've always heard that mob_spawners and portals ignore the mob cap when creating creatures but coming here I see no mention of it. Is it just an urban legend or is it true?
