Items Will Not Travel Through Portals

  1. The title pretty much says all. Dropped items don't go through nether portals, and my farm design really hinges on that feature... Is this a bug? Or was it programmed to do that on purpose? Any feedback helps... Thanks.

  4. Lag prevention. There's more to it than that but honestly I do not know the details.

  5. Items going through portals keeps chunks loaded, that would cause a tremendous amount of lag on the server.

    Furthermore, there is nothing that I have found as a replacement either: There is not a way to keep a chunk loaded (other than you being there) to my knowledge; believe me, I have tried. :p

  6. There also have been duplication issues involving minecarts and items with portals in the past. I don't know if this is the reason, but that is the only fix I know of for the glitch.

  7. And if you do find a way you'll report it to me so I can fix it ;)

    Nether portals are constantly a source of duplication issues, as there currently is a dupe exploit involving them... Thankfully it doesn't work on EMC because we disabled that feature of MC.

  8. Storage minecarts with hoppers on both sides to get the items in and out?
