We had an interesting experience today! We have a portal on our multiplayer server to the nether, and some un-scrupulous person took out a few blocks of our portal room - a ghast then fired at me through the hole, hitting the portal! The portal was Anyway, a friendly server denizen offered to relight it, but it was still active on the other side! He went through it anndd... it created a new portal 6 spaces away from the original facing a different direction. Apologies if as designed, hopefully someone at least gets a chuckle out of this. |

What I find odd is that it doesn't either deactivate the portal on the other side, or reactivate the nether portal when someone goes through from the other side. I suppose this is because it's searching for the nether portal blocks itself, and not the obsidian structure, but when this happened to me, the second nether-side portal overlapped the first one. It was messy. |

No. |

Should the portal be killed on the other side though in this case? That was the confusing part. |

Yes, its intended. Never go into the nether without a lighter! |
