Nether Star Teleporters

In Minecraft I always wanted a way of teleportation in survival, but the only quickest way of teleportation is a nether portal...BUT that is way to slow, You got to go through the portal walk a long distance and go back through. I think that we should have nether star teleporters! It should be crafted with A nether star, a diamond, and a ender pearl. The teleporters should look like small pink and light blue pads, and when you walk on one you instanly teleport to the other. When interacted with a new UI opens up and ask to type a word into it. Then You go to go to the other teleporter and type the same word into it to “link” the teleporters. If in the case of three or more teleporters in a world at the same time, typing in the word a third time in a third teleporter you get a message that wont let you because there are already teleporters with that word. Mobs can also go through them creating some creative mob farms. In the UI there is also a  option that redstone is required.

  Nether stars are so hard to get! They need to do something better. I think the beacon is a perfect teleport block. 'Beacon' even sounds like you should be able to teleport to it, like in that map mod with waypoints. I think you should stand on a beacon block, select another beacon and then click to teleport. The beacon already has a UI so it could be modified to allow you to activate it. Perhaps each teleport require one ender pearl to be put into the beacon.

  I love this idea! I have two changes, though:

   

  First, I think it should cost resources for each use, not just to build. I'm thinking it should require a number of ender pearls based on the distance. Something like p = sqrt(d/256), where p is the number of ender pearls, and d is the distance between the two portals. So the pattern would look something like this:

  • 1 pearl (p) gets up to 256 blocks (d)
  • 2, up to 1024
  • 3, up to 9216
  • ...
  • 16 (max) up to 65,536 blocks

  I'm envisioning a UI kind of like a hopper or dispenser, where the player could store pearls for future use. The player could also feed pearls into the teleporter with a hopper. To avoid abuse this form of transport would have to be prohibited in the Nether, and telepads in the End could not connect to telepads in the Overworld.

   

  Second, this absolutely needs to be limited to end game players who have been to the end. I think an appropriate recipe would require purpur. The crafting recipe would look something like this:

  O O O

  P D P

  P N P

  (O = blank, N = nether star, P = purpur block, D = diamond)

  If developers feel this recipe should be more costly, they could require a diamond block instead of a single diamond, and shulker shells instead of purpur.

   

  @Martin Nether stars are hard to get, but the ability to teleport is very powerful. Requiring players to choose between a beacon or a teleporter, instead of giving them both for free, means they have to make an interesting gameplay decision based on their particular situation and needs.

  I had a very similar idea, however the crafting recipie was:

  NDN
  DSD
  OOO

  Where:

  • N = Nothing
  • D = Diamond
  • S = Nether Star
  • O = Obsidian

  And each portal had two words: one to identify itself and another to identify its destination. That way "a" can go to "b" which can go to "c" which can go back to "a".

  And in my idea the teleporter was a block that would go above a nether portal like shape that was made of iron blocks.

  I also agree with @Galiantus idea about putting ender pearls into the teleporter to change the maximum distance.

  Also, the portal would be an immovable block in JE and movable in BE.
