Is Farming nether portals kosher?
tiggy26668:
so yea like the subject says is farming nether portals alright to do? (i mean of course your own portals, not random ones you find) i need a bunch of obsidian, and i know for a fact obsidian generators are against the rules, but this isn't really an obsidian generator, tis y im asking.
for clarity, i mean
steps:
1) make portal A
2) go through portal A
3) harvest portal B on other side
4) go back to portal A
5) go through portal A
6) harvest portal B on other side
rinse and repeat
mind you this uses natural smp portal generation and it's not that far fetched to have a 3rd+4th portal to return to portal A and continue generating portals for obsidian, not like it requires /homes or something outside vanilla, it's in no way glitching or something since that's how portals are intended to work, just a nifty way to farm obsidian
just would hate to have someone tp to me and go "you're duping portals /ban"
so yea.... can i get some clarity on the subject since it's not in the rule book thanks! ;D

I also had this discussion with a few people as well, and since cobble farms aren't allowed, it's only fair obsidian farms are too.

i see your logic, but on the other hand a natural cobble gen is allowed, and the portals are spawning naturally not through some kinda glitch. So why wouldn't they fall in that category?

I'm not entirely sure, but at the time of the discussion we came to that conclusion.
Things may have changed with the rules so I guess we'll need an Admins 2 cents.
