Ancient City Portal

I suggest the new structure made of Reinforced Deepslate in the Ancient Cities that look somewhat like a portal become a new feature for teleportation between two points. Either through some form of beacon-esque ritual of activation, or perhaps the use of a new rare loot item, two of these structures could become linked together and allow transport between two points in the overworld. (Like setting a frequency and tuning them both into it). eg. right clicking an item on frame one saves coordinates, and then right clicking on frame two makes the link. Then perform X ritual to activate portal. Keeping the current properties of being unobtainable by breaking and only movable by piston would make this one of the most highly prized blocks in the game

    I think the ritual should include the blowing of the goat horn. This will open up the portal, but at the same time will sound off all the shriekers in the area. This is both incredible and terrifying and you will likely have 15-20 wardens chasing after you as you run towards the open portal

    The fact that reinforced deep-slate remains moveable as of now is spectacular as it preforms the actions of bedrock in a survival friendly fashion. It seems perfect that in order to obtain such a rare block to implement into a wither cage, etc, one would need to fly it via slime-stone all the way to a base or farming area. Personally, I do feel that Minecraft has enough dimensions (especially for the casual player), and adding another method of “teleportation” is not needed whatsoever as ender pearls are more than enough. The warden like structure in the center of ancient cities is an amazing view to say the least and I do believe that it should not serve further function besides collecting or carting off the center deep-slate pieces. The main argument for the center blocks to be moveable is that they add not only a new aspect of challenge to the game, but also provide a plethora of technical, interesting uses. If they are to be moveable, then they should most definitely not be portal blocks as portal frames haven’t been moveable throughout Minecraft’s history. To conclude, the implementation of ancient cities and the “deep dark” has been amazing, but the center warden statue should not be a portal and should be transportable. This is simply the opinion of one technical and embellishment loving Minecraft enthusiast.

    Once you enter the portal it should be made of some kind of sculk.

    Why don't we make a sculk dimension. We've already seen it in plenty of clickbait videos.
