Crying Obsidian "Gateways" Idea

Instead of linking different *dimensions* at the same *coordinates*, Nether Portals made with Crying Obsidian should link to the *same* dimension at *different* coordinates.

These "crying obsidian portals" ("Gateways") would teleport players long distances "instantly," without the need for long pathways in the Nether. They would also be particularly useful in the End and would make for a significant late-game/endgame improvement, and at the very least, would serve as an alternative to Elytra use.

Linking Multiple Portal Pairs

  • Gateways meant to link to each other could be marked with corners of different types of solid opaque blocks (i.e. gold block corner gateways link to each other, same w/ stone corners, diamond block corners, etc.), and/or...

  • Gateways meant to link with each other could be made in the same shape and size (i.e. all 3x4 gateways link to each other, all 4x3 portals link to each other, all 10x10 gateways... etc.)

  • If more than two of any corner-type or size/shape Gateways exist in a dimension, a random one among them would be selected (i.e. if you walk into 1 of 5 existing 4x3 gateways with gold block corners in the Overworld, you'd come out of one of the other four, at random).

Performance Benefits!

Some servers limiting Elytra use due to chunk loading issues when many players fly simultaneously. Gateways could potentially reduce server strain!

    The reason that you should add crying obsidian gateways in the nether is so that way we can get to the farlands in the overworld far quicker than going through the nether to get to the farlands in the overworld. Which means any crying obsidian gateway we find in the nether instantly teleports us to Z=+/-1568825 or X=+/-1568825 in the nether when we go into that gateway.
