An '''other portal''' is a manufactured structure that teleports the player 500 blocks up in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]].

An other portal is built as a vertical, rectangular frame of [[Minecraft:glowstone]] (4×5 minimum, 23×23 maximum), similar to a [[Minecraft:Nether portal]]. The four corners of the frame are not required. Adjacent portals can share glowstone blocks. An other portal cannot be built horizontally like an [[Minecraft:End portal]].

Once a frame is constructed, it is activated by [[Minecraft:water]] placed inside the frame. This creates portal blocks inside the frame, resembling a vortex. The water can be placed in any manner, including use of [[Minecraft:water bucket]], dispensed by dispenser or natural spread of water. Other portals can be activated only in the Overworld; they cannot be activated in [[Minecraft:the End]] and [[Minecraft:custom dimension]]s.

The water must be the last placed block in the structure—a water in an incomplete frame does not result in the portal activating upon the placement of the last glowstone block.

== Behavior ==
{{main|Other Portal (block)}}

When a player in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] or [[Minecraft:the Nether]] stands in an other portal block for 4 seconds, the player is teleported 500 blocks in the air and <code>Error 404 Terrain Not Found</code> appears in the chat. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. However, in [[Minecraft:Creative]], the wait time is one game tick ({{frac|1|20}} second) for the player to transfer between "dimensions."

Most entities can travel through portals, including mobs (except the [[Minecraft:wither]] and [[Minecraft:ender dragon]]), [[Minecraft:item (entity)|thrown items]], and transportation ''without passengers'' (neither mobs nor player)<ref>{{bug|MC-67}}</ref>, including [[Minecraft:boat]]s, [[Minecraft:minecart]]s and [[Minecraft:horse]]s.<!--Storage minecarts and powered minecarts can pass through. Thus, inter-dimensional railways are limited to cargo. --> Unlike players, other entities travel through portals instantly, and once they reach the other side, there is a cool-down time for 300 game ticks (15 seconds), in which they cannot go through any other portals. Therefore, an entity can only travel though other portals again, once it is not touching any other portal for 15 seconds.

== Trivia ==
* The other portal is identical in its composition (glowstone and water) to the portal from [https://aether.wiki.gg/wiki/The_Aether The Aether] mod, where it would transport the players to a [[Minecraft:w:Paradise|Heaven]]-like dimension, serving as a counterpart to [[Minecraft:the Nether]]'s hellish environment accessed through an obsidian and fire portal. In its heyday, the mod was one of the most popular and iconic ''Minecraft'' [[Minecraft:mod]]s, leading some players to believe it was actually in vanilla ''Minecraft''.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/minecraft-redditor-draws-aether-portal-betrayal|title=Minecraft Redditor draws the Aether portal betrayal|author=Akshat Kabra|website=Sportskeeda|date=2022-06-03}}</ref><section begin="sky-dimension-trivia"/><!-- Used in [[Minecraft:Mod#Trivia]] -->
