Portal Block

Portal Block

        This mod was originally designed to add a nether portal bit when playing with the Chisels & Bits mod. Although, it will work on its own and I chose to add the aether portal block while I was at it. It adds two blocks that light doesn't shine through, you can see through, they can be pushed by pistons, and redstone can be placed on them.

        As a neat little feature you can also place them on the ground and use them as a sort of looking glass. If you don't like that effect, then you can chisel 1 bit out of the block and you will no longer be able to see through the ground. Same goes if you turn either of them into an architectural block. This kinda opens the door for a different sort of build style because the block renders in 2 different ways, as transforming the block will allow light to shine through it. With these you can also surround any normal block on all 4 sides and conceal the block. This will make the covered block completely transparent as though it no longer existed. -Tile entities are very shadowy when done this way.

        There are no crafting recipes as this is intended for creative mode. Ironically,  portal blocks may be broken faster in survival mode.
(Its vaporous, so I don't imagine it tough anywho)

        So, it just adds two new blocks. (They aren't liquid blocks, but aren't very solid either, solid enough for pistons though :P)

I almost forgot! They are also animated!

-Can be found in the "building blocks" tab.

-Can be harvested with silk touch.

-There are also some demonstration pictures of the portal blocks in "Images"
