Air Portal blocks are currently unused blocks that will most likely tie into The Ender dimension. It has a very strange appearance, which can be best described as a portal view on a virtual black floor with blue star-like particles on it[1]. It also emits light and black smoke. Only the top and the bottom sides of the block are visible, and the bottom side uses the unshaded grass texture. In addition, the bottom cannot be passed through, although the sides and top can be. The collision box for this block takes up the lower 1/16th of the block, similar to Snow. The fact that this block is horizontal may suggest that this portal would be able to be used horizontally, unlike the portals to the Nether.

Bugs
- If the player moves their cursor over this block in their inventory, their game will crash since it is not supposed to be obtained. A client mod has been released to temporarily fix this.[1]
