I have been using worldedit for my server and am trying to make a portal that is larger than the normal 4x5. I have made a region but when I use the command "/fill portal" it only makes 1 portal block in the upper right side. Also, when i use the command "/item portal 10" and then use those on the obsidian, I can place one block but when i try to place another block next to it, they both disappear?
hi alex, I've been having the same problem and have just been browsing for answers. I think I can see a solution, but haven't tested it myself yet.
As far as I can see the problem happens because portal blocks are set to disappear whenever a block next to them changes. So as world-edit puts new portal blocks in the ones it has just placed disappear.
The answer I'm going to go for myself is to get the related plugin World-Guard and use it with World-Edit. First I'll use world-guard to define a region around the place I want to set my portal up in and set that region to have the physics value "allow portal anywhere". Then I'll use the "//set portal" command from world-edit to (hopefully) set as many purple haze portal blocks in place without having them cancel each other as I put them down.
err, so I ended up downloading worldguard and giving it a go.
turns out that "allow-portal-anywhere" isn't a flag you can set on individual regions within the world. Instead it is a config options (true/false) that you set either for the whole server, or for a whole world at a time.
I tried setting it to true for the world I wanted to build a oversized portal in, then used worldedit to place multiple portal blocks like Fabian suggested and it worked
the portal even stayed in place in the frame of bedrock I'd made for it, after I set the "allow-portal-anywhere" config option to false and rebooted the server. So if you can get a plugin and edit some configs you can set as many portal blocks as you want anywhere you want (pretty much)

Hmm. I tried. Instead of making no portal, It makes one portal in the top left. But other than that, Doesn't work.
Any help please?

Like I say I haven't tested this myself, and its too late for me this night to go downloading and installing new plugins to do so. but here are the links to the pages I looked at that make me think it should work.
