    Some players have a hard time getting around and I wanted to try and remedy that. There are a couple of configurations with this mod that make it easier or harder.
    To prevent noobs from getting it right away, there is a config for a nether star in the crafting recipe, which I see fit. This hopefully should help many peoples' time, if it gets accepted. I also see fit that if anyone griefs with these, it is an permaban.

    And I realize that this sounds like a persuasive essay.;)

    Those are the best kind! If you had just said "plox to add portal gun mod?" I would have ignored this post. Reasons and thought out argument ie, persuasion is wonderful.

    I have added this mod to the 1.5 test build to investigate compatibility and balance. I can't promise that it will make it onto the server.

    I thought portals act like chunkloaders.

    Its has a decent chance of making it on the server, if it can pass the tests.

    see that's one of the problems i don't see how it matters if you didn't want people walking around your base then why wouldn't you just play sp ?

    That argument is a little on the shitty side. It's something called 'privacy', i don't now if you've heard of it.

    well who dose care; i for one don't its not like they can interact with things,
    and its not like anyone should have anything to hide.

    all being said one could ask another to leave you alone quite easily.

    I'm sorry to tell you this, but so far it looks bad for PortalGun. Almost 90% of the mod can be abused for griefing (and having a whitelisted server is no excuse) and even worse we can't control it. That would require that the mod emit events that could be used in a plugin to limit the possibilities, but that would require more work than it's actually worth. Also block and entity picking up have to be disabled, but even then people can shoot portals high up and then beneath other and easily kill them (and we wouldn't be able to track who did that). Not to mention the free teleports, even with fuel enabled it's way cheaper than teleporters. The only thing that is ok so far are the long fall boots, but adding a mod for just a side feature isn't a good idea.
    That doesn't mean that we are never going to add it, but the possibility is very low. I will leave it as pending until we got a 100% clear position.
    And yes, I would like to have that mod too, especially because it allows moving chest easily with the items within, but again that would leave door open for griefer.

    Greetings,
    Seweiwer

    I doubt it. It has two or three really nice things, but on the other side it's a great griefer tool (some can be disabled, but then chest picking up would be disabled for example) and we don't know if we can control it, also it's a cheap TP compared to the current options. So yeah...

    MineFactorReloaded adds a way to move spawners for the cost of 1 nether star. It's much for balanced then portal gun.
