Talk:Teleportation


Should this include Ender chests/pouches, since they only transport items, not players? And if so, should we not also include other means of transporting items? (Quantum Link Gate, Magic Mirror, Air Cannon(?), Tesseract...) ...On some thought, my vote's for making sections for what things can be transported: so a "all entities" section, a "player only" section, an "items" section, maybe redstone signals and fluids also? I'm not sure what else might be transportable but whatever else too. --Littlebeast (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2014 (CEST)

Oh hey it totally says "players, items, and entities", haha, I guess that answers that question! Still in favor of organizing it, I'll probably do that tomorrow sometime but not right now. --Littlebeast (talk) 14:14, 29 August 2014 (CEST)

So that table of contents is really hard to look at with all those mod names in there. On the other hand the mod of origin is useful information since it lets players know if it's in their modpack. Thoughts? Should it stay as is? Put mod of origin in parens after every entry? Just say it in the description? --Littlebeast (talk) 11:05, 30 August 2014 (CEST)

I don't agree with the new layout. My main issue is that some teleporters are listed multiple times (such as the Blood Magic Teleposer, which can move players, mobs, and blocks). Have you considered using a table instead? Something like this:
Teleporter Mod Players Mobs Blocks Items Fluids Redstone Power Notes
Tesseract Tesseract Thermal Expansion No No No Yes Yes No RF Tesseracts must share a frequency to transmit/receive properly.
Portal Gun (Item) Portal Gun (Item) Portal Gun Yes Yes No Yes No No No A Portal Gun allows the player to create a pair of 2x1 portals on any two solid walls. These portals last indefinitely but are replaced when new portals are created.

There are several variants of portal guns. Some of these variants share portals with other guns of that variant, while others have unique portals for each individual player.

Turtle Teleporter Turtle Teleporter Misc Peripherals No No No No No No No The Turtle Teleporter can only teleport ComputerCraft-style Turtles.
Just a rough idea of what could be used. Colors clearly would need some work :P --timrem (talk) 12:04, 30 August 2014 (CEST)
Yeah, that seems like a good plan! Well, it gets rid of the sections, but I think that's an acceptable trade-off. Although I'm not sure about the power column, hmm. --Littlebeast (talk) 23:28, 8 September 2014 (CEST)
Okay, it works fine when you can actually read it :)--Littlebeast (talk) 01:52, 9 September 2014 (CEST)
