How do I forcefully duplicate a nether portal in Minecraft?

How do I forcefully duplicate a nether portal in Minecraft?

Posted On: May 23, 2023
I've seen nether portals being duplicated due to linking problems before, but I can't seem to replicate that on purpose. I'm trying to create a sort of manual obsidian farm that doesn't involve withers and doesn't use the End. Alternate methods of obsidian farms are welcome, as long as they don't require me running 128 blocks in the overworld. Question from user Korogue at gaming.stackexchange.com.

Is it possible to sort non-stackable items in minecraft?

Is it possible to sort non-stackable items in minecraft?

Posted On: May 23, 2023
Item Sorters are super sweet. But, I have a skeleton farm, and am getting tons of non-stackable drops. Since armor can be smelted into iron/gold, I'd like to smelt those drops in a furnace, and burn bows in a furnace. And trash all leather armor. Is there a way to sort out these non-stackable items in vanilla survival? Question from user John at gaming.stackexchange.com.

How do I keep my animals from eating my people food in Rimworld?

Posted On: May 22, 2023
I've got a reasonably flourishing village with decent population and all the amenities. However, lately I've been having severe issues because my tame animals keep breaking into the food warehouse and eating the Fine Meals that I'm trying to stack up so that my regular villagers can eat and not complain about eating raw potato. I do have a job detailed to make kibble as long as there's less than 300 kibble, but apparently it's not enough to keep my cats and dogs happy. Should I start culling/slaughtering excess cats/do . . . [More]
