Public Server V/Portals
The following information is based on player speculation and may be incorrect.
Each spawn town in PSV has a broken portal.
Description
Frame
The portal frame is built out of various stones, including cobblestone walls, and different types of stone bricks. There is a visible input slot, marked as a dark hole in the bottom right corner in the front of the portal. If the portal is primed, runes will appear around the frame.
Input Slot
The portals have a single input slot. Items can be inputted by right-clicking the slot, or by dropping items into it. Only ender pearls and a Heart of the Town will be accepted into the input slot. Upon placing the item into the slot, it will be consumed into the portal.
Outputs
On the left side of the portal, there is a chiseled stone brick that acts as an output indicator. A comparator can be used to detect how many ender pearls are currently in the portal. There is also a output chiseled stone brick on the right side of the portal, which outputs a signal when the portal is activated.
Activating the Portals
Priming
To prime a portal, a Heart of the Town must be placed into the input slot. When a portal is primed with a Heart of the Town, runes will appear on the portal frame.
Linking
Which ever Heart of the Town is inserted will be the portal it is linked to. Both portals must be linked to each other in order for the portals to properly function. e.g. to link the Beach spawn town to the Mountains spawn town, The Beach Heart must be in the Mountain portal, and Mountain Heart must be in the Beach portal.
Below is a list of the Heart type and the corresponding spawn town link.
| Coral Type | Spawn Town Biome |
|---|---|
| Fire | Savanna |
| Tube | Mountains |
| Horn | Beach |
Activating
Activating a portal requires one ender pearl to be inserted into the portal. Both sides need to be fueled by ender pearls in order for the portals to activate.
Activated Portals
Once activated, the portals will allow players and other entities to teleport to the other portal. Both portals can be entered to travel back and forth to the corresponding linked portal.
Portals will expire after a certain duration of time after they are activated. The time of activation is currently unknown.
