Bumping because I finally updated to 1.8.1 (Modloader version only).
There is no server version this time. 1.9 is coming right up (there is already a prerelease available) and I'm waiting for that to update the server version.
Can you make it to where you can make portals on the floor...like you jump into the portal and end up being re-oriented the right way when you enter the portal?
I've always thought it would be cool to have a floor portal where I could "step" into the portal or make a trap that could teleport me or a griefer into the nether.

Think it could work?
That'd be awesome. But don't Nether portals take five seconds or so to begin teleporting you? I wonder if this time could be taken out.

If you suspended it a block off the floor in a pit it would be very difficult to get out, especially since you cannot place blocks over the portal blocks.
In order to make horizontal portals work (as well as fix the weird graphical glitches) I'd have to mess with the rendering code, which would make it incompatible with every mod ever. My implementation is therefore a bit rough around the edges.
If you think this idea is cool, you should tweet mojang about it. Features people like do get added.

Hmm, I'm guessing that you would need to suspend the portals in mid-air then to get to them easily.

Ah yes, I forgot about that. Portal blocks don't lay sideways.
Updated for 1.0.0. Support for horizontal portals is finally here too. I suggest you try DerpWorld (it's not as derpy as it sounds). The new portal rules take a little bit of getting used to, but aside from those necessary complications of adding more dimensions, everything is the same. It has flexible portals built in as well, you will not need to download both (as a matter of fact, if you do that, it won't work XP).
Portal Type ==> Portal Destination
Smooth Stone => Overworld
Obsidian =====> Nether
GlowStone ====> "DerpWorld" (or Wasteland)
End Portals still work exactly the same way, as does nether distance compression. Wasteland is 1:1 with the Overworld. There are no longer any restrictions about building portals from the end to other places, just keep in mind that the only way TO get to the end is via end portals.
When did Derpworld come up? From the screenshots, i can tell im going to be falling a lot...
And why dont you have more comments here? These mods are awesome!

Playing since Beta 1.3_01. Yeah. I like BTW. Or used to. Still do. Stuff Technic. (Back in the day...)

Derpworld was an experiment that I did in 1.8. I like floating islands so I decided to change the world gen to have more of them. It's really hard to live there (as you pointed out, many many falling deaths ensued) so I added a little resource boost as well. I have a server version of it as well that I still haven't updated because I'm lame. Only issue that I don't now is that I'd have to port the api I did to SMP for it to work properly. At that point I decided to rewrite how it added itself to the world, so I expanded guiapi to handle dimensions as well and used the functionality I added with it to add derpworld as a new dimension "the right way."
On a different note, if you have download flexibleportals or wugapi since I updated them yesterday, I have updated them again with a fix that makes portals that are more than one block thick possible. (they worked before the bug fix but were invisible)
Bump, just in case anyone has been looking for something like this

I went and made a mod spotlight video for my channel of your mod - I'll post it as soon as it's up on the YouTubes. Good work!
BTW, if you need any more screenies, here's one that I took:

For the record, there is already an SMP version but it is not updated for 1.8.1 because 1.9 is supposedly right around the corner.

Again, cool mod. Can't wait for 1.9's SMP version!

Edit: WUGapi edits alot of base classes -__-
But it's okay , cause it's really cool.
Would it be hard to make my own dimension ?
I've got a bit of experience in coding.
I want to try and make something like skylands.
How can i make the world generate so that there's the void at the bottom ? ( Like the Aether )
