[@gabrielravier8114]

For the missing portal blocks, I would say it is likely that it is possible to partially break a portal when the portal blocks are misaligned: A portal block will try to communicate to its adjacent ones that it has been broken (so that they also break), but only the ones it actually touches, so if they're in a different orientation, that part won't actually break. This seems especially likely considering the surviving portal blocks have all their adjacent obsidian blocks still surviving

[@owensmith9631]

@@reversoley3325 this dose seem like the most likely way

[@corte_s]

true, but they would update all surrounding blocks which would also update, so they’d also be destroyed, maybe this with some sort of “update suppression”

[@IncDoge]

Although a good guess nether portals will check all 6 direcions for block updates. Meaning if u break a obsidian on a sideways portal the portal will still break. I think these portals have something to do with 1.9 cus iv seen simular portals on a server i played on that started as a 1.5 server. No clue how the blocks can get removed without triggering a block update to the obsidian or the portal tho.

A member of HermitCraft was able to remove all obsidian blocks and have only three portal blocks surrounded by diamond blocks, this was done using lag and chunk overloading; maybe the same thing happened here.

[@fiedel]

That was the update-suppression thing, you'd basically need a giant lag-machine nearby. But somehow with 2b2t sometimes running at single-digit tps rates, it might be something similar that happened there.

[@CodeMaker4]

It's not really a lag machine... Minecraft has a hardcoded limit of how many updates a single player action can cause to happen instantly, in a single tick (I am oversimplifying, it's complicated), it is set to something like 1024 blocks. So if you make a lot of budded powered/golden rails ( rails that are turned on when they really shouldn't be), place more than 1024 next to each other, and then let the breaking of obsidian update the budded rails, you can prevent the obsidian from telling the portals to break, because the update limit is reached with the rails before the portals are updated. video by panda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vJfXuEmtadq7s&ab_channel=Panda4994

[@fiedel]

@@CodeMaker4 My point was basically: no visible traces of any supression update-mechanism in the vincinity. You would at least see some cleared space, as this method requires quite some real estate to function. And yeah, it's "just" a chunk-lag machine, not one designed to slow down the entire server thread ...bu still :)

SalC1, You can still make those partially broken nether portals in 1.16 Paper Spigot (Or could in October). I’m not sure of the mechanic behind it, but when making a nether portal based obsidian farm, I’ve gotten a ton of the corner blocks and the inverse of the other (with just 2 blocks). When they are made, the player is kicked with the message “Internal Server Error.” This happened in my creative test world and on the survival server I played on. It actually got quite annoying and I had to redesign the farm so the player could use auto reconnect. It seemed to only happen when the player was not aligned properly due to client-server desync. I never looked at the server logs for it but it shouldn’t be too hard to recreate.

My theory: The portals were made in pre 1.7, obviously. Then the game was updated and just like you had showed, the portal frames were missing (but not actually gone as they still emit light). Then, players started breaking some or most of the obsidian, causing the "illegal" invisible portal blocks to update and dissapear, but not creating a chain reaction like normal portal blocks because they aren't at that point. This is confirmed by all the existing portal blocks still having obsidian next to it. Then, the game was updated again causing these illegal portal frames to appear again, just as you have showed, but the previous updated illegal framed stayed deleted, forever.

[@antagonizingprotagonist8721]

That transition to the sponsor was smoooooooth.

[@djwillcaine]

Pretty sure the broken portals are probably the result of update suppression. If too many block updates occurs when breaking the obsidian then that can prevent the portal from getting broken. There's glitches to do this with powered rails or with placing thousands of banners on each other.

[@whenthingsfly4283]

SalC just chilling with his extremely OG account named Wikipedia

[@CHECKERCE]

i think i have a possible solution to how the broken portals are made. if you put a lot of banners on an obsidian block of a portal (so you put a banner on the block and then a banner on the banner and so on), and i mean a LOT of banners you have to put so many that you even have to load more chunks in the direction. then if you break the obsidian, the update order is so that the last banner gets updatet first and then all the other banners until the portal gets updatet, but because there are so many updates in one tick the server just doesn't update the portal and you broke the obsidian without breaking the portal. maybe that is how they made the portals where some of the blocks are missing.

When I found my old Minecraft world that I used to play on from 2012-2015 and explored it, my overworld portal seemed fine, but my nether portal was actually missing the bottom 2 portal blocks. I remember I created the world in 1.4 and played it up until 1.8.5, before taking a break from Minecraft and coming back to it in like 2019. I think it's kinda cool that I have a small remnant in my Survival world that you can only get from specific versions.

It was successful after which I loaded the world in 1.16. 5 and the it was fine but while returning to the overworld i found that the portal blocks were reversed much like the one in 4:02.

[@8BitShadow]

For the portals that are missing parts I think the most likely explanation would be the players reaction to the minecraft update causing the portals to be 'gone' but not. I don't know for sure but I imagine trying to light the obsidian would not work as the portal blocks would still be there, some players probably thought breaking some blocks and putting em back again would fix that but probably got DCed either due to a script false flagging something and kicking the player or hausemaster just happening to update paper while people where still trying to fix their portals. Note that there are no portal blocks where there is obsidian missing, you can test this but I think the bugged portal blocks only stay when there is *either* 2 obsidian blocks *or* there is one obsidian block *and one portal block* adjacent to it. Hence the single block portal stayed until someone broke the obsidian above it (you might of missed it, but you can see it in the video; the top obs is missing @6:08), which this would also explains why the portals like @1:46 haven't destroyed themselves. In theory, while the portals are in the bugged state, if you broke one of the middle-side- blocks no portals would be destroyed. Feel free to prove this theory wrong though!

Each value of block depend of the bloc number, when it generates de portal just add +1 to go to the other block, but when the block is set to -1 the middle block is now 0 and by defaut it means the portal face another way, then the next on is +1 and the portal is normal again. The player who generated the portal just died when he activated it, so the variable value was set quickly to 0, and this is the same one that generate the portal. The glitch also appears when you generate a baby sheep and that baby take the portal, because the entity value is always -1, you can see the reversed sheep when he crosses the portal just before the teleportation.

[@Zeder95]

There also were similar bugs with doors getting messed up when old worlds were updated to newer versions. Especially double doors on Beta maps often got messed up when updated to newer versions.

[@haxalicious]

The most likely explanation for this is the dragon egg bedrock removal glitch. If I'm not mistaken that didn't block update things which allows for glitched portals. They could also have been made from EXTREME lag. Like, 0.1tps lag. If there are enough block updates in one tick the game will skip processing additional ones. The EMP machine does this. On 9b9t there are lots of portals with weird geometry and things besides obsidian around them, this was caused by a plugin that freezes chunks when the server lags. It also let you get floating water and lava blocks. Could be a similar thing on 2b.

[@alisaPuffinettaofficial]

beta portals also tend to break when changing versions (noticed that when updating one of my old af worlds) , i doubt that portals on 2b may last this long , but we never know , 2b is a gift that keeps on giving so i wouldn't be too surprised at the sight of a 12/11 years old portal

[@mythicalgaming_is_fine1905]

The one that is like a backwards L was probably made by another portal being created there and then a glitch to remove a block without a block update

[@emerykj1830]

for those portals without full frames this is my guess- the Minecraft world data was saved and it said that there is a portal block here. Somehow the update and PaperSpigot screwed that data up and rotated the sprite for the portal, but not the actual function of it. I would guess that a similar thing is affecting the broken frame portals- the world data "a portal block belongs here" was saved, corrupted in a different way from the rotation bug, and now it stands on its own or doesn't require a full frame rather than being rotated but who knows!

[@cste9146]

This is definetly worth the wait! Great job Sal!!!

[@antimatter9598]

Theory: For the portals with corners cut off, it could have been that only some of the portal was cut off, and then players removed the obby and since it wasn’t actually touching the remaining portal blocks, it didn’t update them, leaving them still standing.

[@steakthedoggaming5333]

The portals with sections missing likely has portions of them mined during a high lag low tps state causing the portals to not break properly.

[@EnzoBergstrom]

The breaking blocks and even replacing them with other ones on portals can be made when the server runs at around 0tps. When the server stops lagging the portals just continue to be like they are with breaked blocks etc. This is a common occurence on 9b9t

9:00 It's possible that the portal on the left was broken by a wither. Something like this happened in my creative world (1.6.4), except the two portal blocks on mine were rotated instead of missing. It could be that the wither shot the portal a second time, causing the two portals to break. The portal on the right could have been made in the same way, though it's possible that someone obtained a portal block item (They only existed before release 1.8) and placed it that way. It's possible considering people were able to obtain ice (before 1.3.1) and/or water blocks to place in the nether at one point.

Around the 1.18 update we had a limited window of time on Bedrock where we could farm these individual portal blocks. They could be placed anywhere and functioned as portals

Yo man, we need these way more often, & I’m speaking for everyone

Obby can be removed without destroying portals if you place enough banners off the sides. I saw this strategy being used on the Scicraft server back in the day, it has to do with the order Minecraft calculates breaking blocks. If you stack enough banners off each other, the game essentially forgets to break the portal.

Your research on portals was truly so in-depth - changing versions and swapping to a paper spigot server was genius too. I could hear you talk about anything for hours and stay intrigued. Great job on this video!!

That was the smoothest sponsor transition I’ve ever seen

[@itsrainingnans2187]

honestly im not surprised by cursed nether portals. all you have to do is destroy part of them without causing a block update/ i managed to do it easily on this modded server that had magic and stuff. i know thats very obviously easier, but it shows that theres definitely vanilla ways to do it
