Would be great if you provided a step-by-step replication scenario or maybe a save? Otherwise it's hard to do much about this.
Since there is no replication scenario, I'd probably suggest to close this issue.
To reach your other 70-tiles-away portal from the nether, build another nether portal next to the one you already have, making sure it's shifted towards the other exit. 10 tiles should…
What would happen if I mine the additional portals? Will I, thanks to the patch, at least come back to the portal pre-spawned in the world, or would another additional one appear?
If you mine…
For two portals, when returning from the nether, a second portal was created a few blocks away.
I can imagine the situation you describe may happen if you are using a very old portal with…
Note to self, I think this can be solved by checking the node on the other side of the portal block, and only destroying the portal if it turns out to be a portal block (portals cannot be one-wide).
OK I have implemented the shifted OW boundary to -32. The OW spawn range will now be -32 to 127 in v7 (two entire chunks above lava). I'm not allowed to search more than 2 so this needs to suffice…
Ooh I know why I did this - nether between lava and top layer of bedrock is just 88 nodes. If we anchor the overworld deep down, then when traveling from the nether portal exits will always try to…
I do use 1 for overworld minimum, but now that you mentioned it, I think there is no need to restrict the search area so severely. I think I'll change this to be between mg_lava_overworld_max…
I trust you to have tested this
Yes I did, I ran into this when trying to abuse the protected areas and destroy the protected portal that's on the boundary.
