The COOL 1.21 Nether Portal change no one is talking about. 

I really want to start a world with friends and set it to a few weeks without telling anyone.

I'm still sad you can't see the nether by looking through the portal 😭

Phoenix deliberately avoiding saying “he sure likes being turned on” by saving “he sure likes being activated”

Feel like negative values should just disable the ability to use the portal and you dont even get the swirl animation.

Set up a contraption with command blocks that makes the teleport time slowly increase. Of course it starts at 4 so that no one gets suspicious. Over time the teleport time will take a bit longer. It will be 5 seconds, then 6. The change is so slow they can't quite put their finger on it, but their brain subtly feels something is wrong.

you can also prevent projectiles from destroying pots and a new white smoke particle was added.

Hey peenix, if nobody’s talking about it, and you’re talking about it, does that mean that you’re nobody?

Can't wait for someone to inevitably wait 82 weeks to travel to the Nether

The gamerule name fits perfectly with Java naming conventions. It is the language that brought us the ObjectBuilderFactoryFactoryClassBuilderObject (this monstrosity probably exists).

I personally think that the portal should be disabled if set to a negative number. This would probably make the most amount of sense and would be easier than setting it to a billion.

I disabled the Nether for 2.5 and the End for 5 weeks on the last survival server I hosted. It was definitely the best thing we've ever done, because otherwise you would see people with full netherite after only a few days and it forced people to build infrastructure for other forms of transportation like canals, tunnels and bridges. Nobody complained, and everyone was actually enjoying the game again. The fact that you can do something quite similar in vanilla is a great thing.

Ah sweet, I can set the portal delay to a super long amount of time and experience trying to use Nether portals on multiplayer in Minecraft Alpha! Finally!

Negative values means you go through the portal ticks before you enter it. What you gotta do is take the players velocity (speed and direction) and determine "IF their velocity remains constant, how many ticks would it take to enter the portal" if the answer is or less, send them to the nether. You have no free will if you are within ticks of the portal. Set it to -100000 and catch random strangers in your nether portal from miles away [Edit] I should clarify, when they get sent to the nether, they get sent through at the location of the portal, not where they were standing. No one asked but I thought i should clarify. So in the -100000 ticks example, let's say someone enters your portal from 500 blocks away, when they go back through the portal I the nether they're 500 blocks away from where they started

I somehow never realized using creative to enter the nether was near instantaneous

Phoenix just casually creating an inescapable loop of going in and out of portals. Classic

This reminds me of the old times. On servers, where nether portals were disabled, you could push someone into an activated portal, and block it. Since they couldn't break the blocks, they couldn't leave the portal. And because the portals were deactivated, they'd be stuck there. In older versions, you also weren't able to open the menu while inside a portal. This meant, that if you were trapped in such a portal, the only way to exit would be to Alt+F4. Good times, I tell ya.

I just use the immersive portals mod so i can just walk in and out as i please with no loading. I don't have such weaknesses

It's great that you can change it to a specific value instead ot just toggling instantaneous or not. Sometimes you just have a nether portal between two different rooms, and having it be instant would've just made it a pain, like it did previously, now I can just keep it at 1 second delay and everything is fine

Setting portals to negative values should just make you end up in the backrooms.

0:33 he’s chuffed to bits actually

It's literally the mumbo jumbo block, you can't tell me to call it anything else

Petition to name the update to “The Mumbo Jumbo Update”

I actually made a datapack that allowed for 1 tick portal travel prior to this update. It just required setting the gamemode of the player to creative for 1 tick when entering a nether portal block, then back to survival in the next tick. So it wasn't impossible, just horrid for servers with hackers.

And I now think about a new negative potion effect that makes your portal delay longer... which could be obtained by some strong new nether bosses or smth

Actually 0 is the exact same as one. If set to anything less than 1, it's treated as 1

No more hoping you don't get blasted by Ghasts or beaten up by Piglins, this is huge. Thank you for informing us. This was the first I've heard of it

2:49 if you slow it down or go frame-by-frame you'll see that he actually travelled a few blocks past the portal before being teleported

Ok, so this is crazy, because I was just recently thinking about this! You see, a few years ago (and again about *a* year ago), I had this silly idea of seeing how much of Creative mode I could simulate with command blocks and stuff for a player in Survival mode. And I haven’t done much with it in a while now, but just a few days ago, it popped into my head again, and I remembered how nether portals function diferntly in the two gamemodes (although I could probly work around this by just teleporting any player with the “Survative” tag that stands in a nether portal block into the nether (although doing the x8 location multiplier is another issue). But now, I can just use this. It’s almost like I somehow subconsciously predicted this feature without even knowing it! What are the chances, eh? Maybe this is a sign I should turn to that project sometime… 🤔

If we go by logic, setting it to a negative number would mean when you enter the portal, negative delay causes you to be in the nether before you go into the portal, that means there is a point in time where you were simultaneously in the overworld and nether

“He sure likes being activated.” I’m sure that won’t be taken out of context.

negative values should expand the hitbox of the portal so you enter it even faster. A -10 value is one block bigger and a -1600 value teleports you if you're in the same chunk...

I cant wait to sneakily make it take 5 seconds to enter the nether and mildly annoy everyone

Honestly thought they changed the portal texture or the function of the portal, I'm so glad that that wasn't the case.

The fact that horizontal nether portals are now a thing is crazy, never expected them to do it

0:22 turned on sounds better imho

I’m now obsessed with that -1 second portal delay as a concept As you approach the portal you are suddenly in the nether and walk backwards to the inside of the portal (which doesn’t teleport you again because it “just did”) Extrapolating this, if you set it to -999999 (or whatever high number), the next 80 weeks of your life in the nether will play out in reverse before you finally end up in the frame.

its always the NETHER. Never the end 😥

I really like this. In one of my creative builds I used a nether portal as a teleporter to another area of the map, using command blocks in front of the portal blocks so it would appear that the player would teleport when going through the portal. It didn't really work in creative mode since the player would teleport into the nether too fast for the command block to teleport them to the other part of the map. It worked fine in survival, but I had to switch modes to test it and some people tried to explore in creative and that could have been an issue if they switched to creative before going through the portal.

mumbo jumbo block is life mumbo jumbo block is love

I'm sure gnembon had something to do with this, but I'm so glad more Carpet features are making into vanilla Minecraft

I challenge everyone to only call the crafter the "Mumbo Jumbo block" no matter where it's being referred.

This makes it a little easier to do custom dimensions actually, since you can disable to normal teleport and make it teleport you to the custom dimension using commands instead

"I'm serious this time" Meanwhile the sun is slightly purple.

Imagine a pvp arena where you can knock people through nether portals that have instant death traps on the other side of them, like a mortal kombat fatality but in minecraft.

The Mumbo Jumbo Block is chuffed to bits that it's being activated.

this could be a cool concept for a gamemode dimensional trap or something where the portal time gets set stupidly high whenever you enter a dimension, and you have to stay there for a certain time before you can return meaning you have to plan to survive there for a bit

Java 1.21 Meanwhile me here still trying to finish process 1.8

Why isn't anyone but Phoenix talking about it? This is incredible!

This is toning to be such good trolling content. I have an simple with all of my friends and half of us are split in different dimensions, so I’m going to mess with that and make them go crazy 😈

I believe that a negative number should mean that the portal predicts when you would enter it. So you actually teleport 10 seconds before you enter the portal if it is -10. Very simple concept and not paradox inducing at all if you ask me.

Day 8 of my petition to change this channels name to FeetPicsSC

This is great, thanks for covering this! I will definitely be using this one. I feel like Minecraft has a lot of “hidden” settings like this that no one talks about or hardly anyone knows about. Like the ability to make it so when creepers blow up it drops ALL of the block drops. So you can actually completely fill in the hole it made! Why does no one but me have this enabled?! And then there’s ones like toggle crouch & toggle sprint witch are way more known but I feel like they don’t get enough credit. I would not be able to play the game NEARLY as well as I do without these two settings. (You people that hold shift constantly to stay crouched are insane. Love torture much do ya?) Hmm I am forgetting something though. There’s a few more settings that I always enable on world creation but without my computer in front of me I can’t for the life of me remember what they are. Oh wait, this isn’t one but lava source converting. Why have I never seen anyone use this? This is an amazing thing to exist! Sure maybe a little op for survival. But then again is it really when you can already farm infinite lava off ONE source..? Anyways a useful gamerule for creative nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing all these cool updates over the years, Pee-Dix

I can't wait for "Waiting 82 weeks to go to the nether portal ambient to study"

servers that ban the nether (whether it be a server that is trying to be semi-realistic and it's going for "realism" or its trying to inhibit progress to extend server life) are gonna LOVE this

This feature was even earlier in Minecraft Bedrock, Mojang really wanted Bedrock and Java to have no difference

I could see this happening on a group server with a decent amount of people, they decide to essentially turn off the nether but they just end up with a nether cult that actually waited the 82 weeks or whatever (which is longer than a year btw)

With the power of redstone, Phoenix has got mumbo jumbo *Turned On.*

I think they should add a feature where blocks placed on the corners of a nether portal link the portal up with other ones with those blocks on the corners, no blocks or obsidian on the corners makes it regular.

Phoenix: *is calling the auto-crafter the Mumbo Jumbo block* Me, looking at Mumbo’s uploads the past few days: now why on earth, oh new life series! would you call it that?

Negative values should cause you to switch dimensions just by approaching the portal. The lower the value, the farther away you can be when you get teleported

I like how you specifically used the word activated... because you didnt want to say you turned on mumbo jumbo

Finally, I dreamed about this feature, now I can make super ability "dimension traveler"

It would be really cool if they got rid of the loading screen when the world is loaded in already (which it mostly is in survival mode with a solid PC). They should make it so the purple overlay simply hides the teleportation and make it seamless

I like how your videos always look like a clickbait but are actually related to the title.

I think this is the most useful to set the delay on creative to like 1 second, so you can go through the portal without actually going to the Nether. Really useful for just building.

Oooh that’s pretty neat I’ve been using the carpet mod to get portal times as fast as this, cool to see that gnembon’s work is getting implemented into the game! Next step, moveable hoppers/droppers/chests etc?

Imagine someone being determined enough to wait a year and a half to change dimensions

Now somebody needs to place the Otherside music over Peenix getting trapped back and forth from the nether.

I though for sure you were joking when you said everything else in the video was going to be “absolutely 100% serious.” You were somehow completely honest throughout the rest of the video and even declared at the end that you modified it to behave differently.

0:43 my god why did i think you were gonna eat the sun for a second

I really really want an update that makes the portal work like the portals in the game Portal, where you can see the nether and walking through is completely seamless, sorta like that non-euclidian portal mod I see often. Same thing for the end portal. It would be really really cool.

What should happen with a negative delay is that you're teleported that number of ticks before you reach the portal, but only if you were going to enter it.

Yh see.. I'd love it to also be called timeItTakesForPlayersToTeleportThroughANetherPortal, but Im pretty sure they use an internal 32byte character limit, which playersNetherPortalCreativeDelay is exactly. Jokes aside, I do think they should just remove the "players" from that string because everything else instantly teleports anyway so I'd hope people would know it's about the player. Same with playersSleepingPercentage.. we're clearly not counting how many villagers are sleeping now, are we..

"But this is what should happen!" *falls into the matrix*

I love the fact that when it was insta teleporting phoenix forward and back I got the windows xp error sound

-1 should be the longest possible duration. You just have to sit in the portal long enough for the value to overflow, then count again from the maximum negative value all the way back to -1

Interesting fact. It seems that the type used for this game rule is integer. Therefore, the maximum number of ticks = 2147483647. In real life, this corresponds to 3 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes & 42.35 seconds.

0:30 for some reason the chorus of light switch played in my mind when i saw this ...

I always thought it was a necessary feature rather than an optional thing for aesthetics

I'm so happy with this, I've always had a glitch where even in survival java it would instantly take me to the nether, and i always wanted to experience it properly, now i can. :)

I so badly wanted negative numbers to make it so if you walk towards a nether portal, it sucks you in. The higher the negative number: if you even look at a portal it sucks you in

“Yeah hold up I gotta get some blaze rods” (3 years later) “Okay I’m back.”

When the Mumbo Jumbo block is activated it actually looks like he is blowing the items out under his mustache.

a mincraft tick is around 0.05 seconds (20 ticks per second), and the new rule probably has an integer variable with the limit being 2,147,483,647 (2.1 billion). meaning that 2,147,483,647 ticks = 107,374,182.35 seconds = 1,789,569.7 minutes = 29,826.16 hours = 1,242.75 days = 3.4 years (year = 365 days). so the time limit for being trapped is 3.4 years.

If you set it to below zero, the nether portal collapses in on itself and your world gets sucked in.

I’d set it to the length of one daylight cycle, or ten minutes if you will. That way traveling dimensions has significance and while not impossible also shouldn’t be taken lightly either

Um no one is talking about the “1.21 Nether portal change” because it’s not for Minecraft 1.21. It’s for version 1.20.3 which will be releasing in a couple months…

Yeah, I found it out, when I searched through the gamerule tab when setting up a world for the newest Snapshot.

Could def be shortened to something like "portal travel delay creative / survival"

This is 100% something that came from Gnembons carpet mod, heck, he even stated on twitter, that the auto crafting table came from the carpet extra feature

omg the commands will make redstone and ambiance so much better

I’m more shocked at how fast it is to actually go to the nether on Java. On bedrock, you gotta wait like 15+ seconds for the loading screen to go away.

0:21 I think the grumbot mustache animation from hc season 7 would fit be cooler.

3:15 Kore ga… Requiem da

Just an ambience (sort of) thing- I would love to see some sort of animation for when you're watching another player or entity travel through a Nether portal instead of them simply popping into/out of existence. It doesn't really match up with the first-person animation of the portal texture fading in.

-1 should probably make it literally never teleport you. Like, you can't get to 0 going down from -1.

going negative should just pull a half life teleporter and sling you to the nether only to send you to another new portal or just make you trapped in it after exiting for so many ticks

The smiling mumbo jumbo block really made my day (or night because it night here)

I love how Phoenix had to make an actual statement about it actually being called a Crafter, and never did so about the "Giraffe" 😂
