In addition to the numerous entertaining additions and mechanics included in Minecraft 1.21, there was one subtle adjustment that many people could have overlooked. Well, this modification should greatly simplify your experience in Minecraft. Yes, today we are discussing portals. More specifically, we talk about how portals in Minecraft now allow you to ride creatures like horses or minecarts.
In Minecraft, ride through the nether or end portals
Unlike previously, you may be in a minecart or riding a horse, and you will always be transferred to the other dimension without any problems when you come into touch with the portal blocks, whether they are an End portal or a Nether portal. In order to prepare the rail track for the minecarts, you may also forecast which side you will emerge on.
You may remember, this was not the case in the past; in order to be teleported by the portal, you had to either leap out of your minecart or get off your horse.
Why Is This Modification Beneficial for Minecraft?
To some, this may not seem like a significant or worthy adjustment, but believe me when I say that it's more important than you may realize. Let's discuss two applications for riding entities via portals.
1. Quick and Simple Travel via the Nether
As you are already aware, the Nether operates in a different manner than the Overworld and allows you to move much more quickly. When you combine it with the portal shift, you'll reach your location with ease.
Whether your ultimate destination is in the Nether, End, or, of course, the Overworld, you may arrange a minecart trip at your Overworld headquarters and then just kick back and let the machine carry you there. This is a really useful application that may greatly simplify player transportation. Still, mobs are included in this as well as players.
Yes, tampering with the hostile or naive crowds at the portals has ended. You can get them to the finish line undamaged once they're inside the minecart. This is particularly useful for transferring villagers across Minecraft biomes or even creating a massive zoo that can house all of the mobs in Minecraft.
2. Additional Ingenious Rides Unlocked
This second usage is much more enjoyable than it is useful. Imagine creating a wacky and inventive roller coaster that travels across all three of the Minecraft dimensions . To enhance the immersion and unforgettable experience, you may conceal the portals.
You don't even need to get out of your minecart to create a lovely tour that showcases all the creations in your world if you own a Minecraft server. Let your imagination go wild since the only thing limiting the potential are you.
And just like that, you now know that in Minecraft, riding things through portals is a simple process. Once again, this may not seem like a big deal, but once you start using its features, you won't want to play in the previous versions ever again.
Having saying that, how do you feel about using portals to ride entities?
