    What if - and stay with me on this one - what if, we added the Portal Gun mod to Alice. I think that would be fantastic. Thoughts?

    This would require lots of testing and unfortunately we don't have to do that right now as we are trying to get existing mods working properly.

    I think it would be a little too op. Considering you can get into peoples homes and places that are currently blocked off to the public, and it has a mega range.

    There is (or at least was when I used the mod in 1.2.5) an option in the config to only whitelist certain blocks. I think that could be cool... Like, only able to portal onto white wool...

    this. we need a portal tool mod that only goes as far as player reach, and only works on wool
    the code for it would be red portals on red wool, as in you can have up to the number of dyes ingame as the limit
    to portal pairs.

    but we need a better name! industrial vortex? transit singularity?

    Or how about we add portalgun, and just make sure It uses methane from gregtech as fuel.

    With some other limitations of course.

    I think it would be better if it was just set so that portals can only be created on end stone. This would prevent players from easily breaking into another player's base.

    I don't see a need for them to use fuel, since they're expensive enough to make.

    we have that already, and the mp3 files for them are easy to get...

    seriously, portal 2 music is far better.

    also, other player's houses would be private, and as the portal gun would change the block into the portal'd version other poeple cannot place portals in a claimed area. an easy fix, but making them a little but buggier...
