Minecraft Plugin Lets Players Build With Portals

Oh hackers. Whatever are they gonna do next.

Agreed, the Portal Gun mod is far superior, with better aesthetics and more features (cubes, orb launchers etc.). The guy involved is even looking into letting you see through portals.

I agree the full mod is more worthy of attention than the plugin version.

Here's the Portal trailer using the mod:

That's awesome!
Can you use it in your regular world? Oh man, the possibilities!

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Is it true to form and only sticks on one material?

 

[Quaxar]

Now if he added a proper GLaDOS voice simulator so I could actually make the whole game proper Portal-fun I'd be more than happy to get it.

Minecraft.

Now 56% more addictive!

65% more minecraft per minecraft! This is Cave Johnson. We're done here.

The good news'll be if Steam doesn't try to pull some mess about trademark infringement or somesuch. Sounds like a good mod, and a fun addition to the game.

I'm sure there shouldn't be any problems since it's a mod and not a new game feature. And the similarities with portal are too little in comparison with another mod already made(that one copies portal a lot more)

so we are like 6574% more addictive now???? cuz the reasons go on and on

I kinda bugs me that the the plugin got the publicity when the full mod has so much more functionality and looks far more professional. Had they done their research when putting this out they might have found the mod and texture packs. This is really only a tip of the iceberg, and not really as good as the rest.

That's really cool, but have you seen the other one?

The difference is that this is not a mod.

This is a server plug in, and everyone can play on it. They don't need a client side mode.

Although, I like the mode you posted. I've played a lot with it.

@TOPIC
This plug in is great. Now we just need a way to bring GLaDOS to Minecraft and there we have it, no need for Portal 2.
And the best thing is, there are unlimited testing chambers. Would be great if someone opens a server where people could build their own testing chambers.

more like a match made in the bowels of internet game nerd hell.

Well that clever. Wounder which will be the next game to have portals? Metroid Portals anyone?

Er, Metroid titles are pretty much never on the PC, so those have no mod dev kit.

OT: Portal 2's SDK is now redundant!

 

[bdcjacko]

This is neat...but you know I was going to say something about maybe using this constructive energy for something more worth while like idk, but fuck it. That is really neat.

 

[Woodsey]

And so the universe did cometh to an end.

Valve are the company, and no they won't.

Apparently, the player does not have long-fall boots as they are hurt at 1:18

Pshhhhh PC. Please. You dont need a PC to make stuff on a game, you just need inovation and tools.

 

[kaygirl101]

There's already a really good portal mod for minecraft, plus it come with a companion cube.

*nvm, I'm late to the "pointing out the obvious" party

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

That's really cool, but have you seen the other one?

Yeah I've been messing around with this one for a few days, and as far as I can tell from the video in the artical, it's a million times better than that plugin.

 

[airrazor7]

Why is the internet still working? Shouldn't it have exploded into its own parallel dimension after this awesomeness came into existence?

Console titles having level editors like Forge is very rare and even then they are restricting. Care to point out a single TC mod for a console title? In fact, some engines (like <url=http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/PS3Mods.html>UE3) require a PC to mod console titles. And when did Nintendo release level editors, let alone dev kits, for their games? The only modding of Nintendo titles I've seen so far has been running on emulation.

So yeah, Metroid modding is possible... on the PC.

I didn't see any potatoes in this. Probably a good thing.

That would be the way to distract GlaDOS, just have her download Minecraft. She'll get so busy making test chambers in that game she would forget she could be, and was, making them in her own world.
