Curcuit Store | Torch Portal Alternative w/ Double Place @CurcuitStore | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 7 hours ago
Silly alternative to torch portal(youtu.be/b0GIe_wshz0) using an insta-mine double place(info at youtube.com/watch?v=ofY8THnZa0w) on the torch.
This doesn't save any time, uses an extra block, and is just generally harder to pull off. So truly an amazing product of the emma circle think-tank! It does look cooler tho soooooo....
Both of these use the torch hitbox to place the top of the portal frame. However, where the original just places one block off the top of the torch, the new one places two using a double place. This has a whole bunch of implications- both positive and negative- that just happen to even out to not saving any time over the original. For example the original places a wall torch inside the portal frame. That lets you place the top two frame blocks directly. But you can't do this with the double place, since the torch itself gets replaced with obsidian. Instead I have to place it on top of the side of the frame instead. This technically lets me place off of it sooner, since the top of a floor torch hitbox is lower than the top of a wall torch hitbox, but it also places its second block in the corner of the portal(whic isn't necessary). So even though the lower hitbox saves time I still have to place another block to finish the top of the frame. It also saves no time breaking the torch, since in the original you can break the torch and light the portal in the same tick.
I doubt this is particularly useful in this form, but there's a lot of pieces of this that seem promising, so I figured I'd put it here.
Now that I think about it I actually don’t know how this would behave in earlier versions. I rely on the smaller hitbox from crouching in this video(for both portals iirc), and I don’t know how it works with the taller crouching hitbox or if it can easily be routed around.
