Nether portal blocks can stably exist only within a Nether portal structure, unlike [[Minecraft:End Portal (block)|End portal block]]s.

Nether portal blocks can be used to teleport entities between [[Minecraft:the Nether]] and the [[Minecraft:Overworld]]. When a player in the Overworld or the Nether stands in a Nether portal block for 4 seconds, the player is taken to the other dimension. While in the Nether portal block, the player can neither open their [[Minecraft:inventory]] nor interact with blocks with GUI. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. However, in Creative mode there is no wait time—the player immediately transfers between dimensions. If there is already an ''active'' portal within range (125 blocks) in the other world, the player appears in that portal. Otherwise, a portal is created at or near the corresponding coordinates. If a single portal block is placed using commands, it can still be used to travel to the Nether. | Nether portal blocks can be used to teleport entities between [[Minecraft:the Nether]] and the [[Minecraft:Overworld]].

Template:Infobox block The Nether portal block is the translucent part of the Minecraft:Nether portal that teleports the player to and from Minecraft:the Nether.
Obtaining
The Nether portal block cannot be obtained as an item even by using the Template:Cmd command. The item form is completely non-existent Template:In, but it can be obtained through Minecraft:add-ons, external editors or by using bugs Template:In.
This block cannot be picked up using Template:Ctrl, similar to the End portal block.
The Nether portal block can be placed using commands such as Template:Cmd or Template:Cmd.
Post-generation
When a Minecraft:Nether portal is lit by placing Minecraft:fire in any manner inside the portal frame, the Nether portal blocks are generated, with one of them replacing the fire.
Nether portal blocks with the portal structure itself can also generate when an entity goes through a portal and there's no other active portal within 128 blocks of the matching coordinate.
Nether portal blocks cannot generate in Minecraft:the End and can only be placed using commands.
Usage
Nether portal blocks can stably exist only within a Nether portal structure, unlike End portal blocks. When the block is updated and detects that it is not part of such a structure, it is destroyed. However, using Minecraft:update suppression glitches, it is possible to obtain a standalone portal block without a frame, but the portal is destroyed once it receives an update, i.e., placing a block next to the portal or moving a piston next to or into the portal.
Nether portal blocks can be used to teleport entities between Minecraft:the Nether and the Minecraft:Overworld. When a player in the Overworld or the Nether stands in a Nether portal block for 4 seconds, the player is taken to the other dimension. While in the Nether portal block, the player can neither open their Minecraft:inventory nor interact with blocks with a GUI. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. However, in Creative mode there is no wait time—the player immediately transfers between dimensions. If there is already an active portal within range (125 blocks) in the other world, the player appears in that portal. Otherwise, a portal is created at or near the corresponding coordinates. If a single portal block is placed using commands, it can still be used to travel to the Nether.
Nether portal blocks make distinctive sounds and emit the same purple particles produced by Minecraft:endermen, Minecraft:endermites, and Minecraft:ender chests. Portal blocks emit a Minecraft:light level of 11, dimmer than a Minecraft:torch.
Minecraft:Falling block entities can be teleported through a portal, but a piston cannot push a block through.
Much like Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava, portal blocks cannot be broken by tools except in Creative. However, portal blocks can be destroyed by Minecraft:explosions (even weak ones) and can be replaced by placing water or lava sources in the same block (can also be done by Minecraft:dispensers). If any portal block is destroyed, the whole portal is deactivated as adjacent portal blocks are updated and detect that the portal structure is no longer complete.
While Nether portals themselves cannot be lit in Minecraft:the End, a portal block set in the End and in Minecraft:custom dimensions behaves exactly like in the Overworld, calculating coordinates in the Nether with the same 1:8 ratio. They teleport players to the Nether Template:In, and to the Overworld Template:In. However, once teleported to the Overworld from the End, the player is in a glitched state where they can no longer interact with the world or load chunks during that session. After reloading the world, the player spawns on a new Minecraft:End platform at the same coordinates in the End as where the Nether portal was.
Piston interactivity
Nether portal blocks cannot be pushed by Minecraft:pistons. They also cannot be pushed or pulled by sticky pistons.
