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.


Answer:

I know a great way of duplicating portals (no multiplayer needed), although you will need at least 20 obsidian to make 2 portals.


Follow these steps:.


Make a portal in the Overworld, then go through it.


Once you are in the Nether, go at least 10 blocks away from your first portal.


Make a second one with the obsidian you have. Light it up.


Go through it.


Once you are back in the Overworld, break the portal you just got out of (the one that was generated in the Overworld) using your diamond pickaxe to mine it.


After that, go through the first portal you made earlier. After you are back in the Nether, you should still see the second portal you made in the Nether earlier.


Go through the second one again, and it should generate a new portal in the Overworld.


Repeat steps 5-7 as much as you need.


If this seems confusing, what I thought was that you needed extra portals, so maybe you can not only get infinite obsidian for extra portals, you can also use it for future builds.


If you are confused about anything, please let me know!.
