... i just find it extremely likely its going to be for a skylands portal mainly because makeing it is differnt than the ender portal.
There is no "air portal". The portal seen in Jeb's livestream is where the old placeholder used to be, and the new graphics are extremely Ender themed. Nowhere did anyone make an "air portal" you keep blathering on about.
Notch made it very clear that the new dimension will be called Ender on reddit, and Jeb showed us where it is.

People with common sense.
the two portals are both differnt portals. why cant people see that?
the newer one is for ender and now the air portal is probobly going to be for skylands
air portal= blue and needs to be repaired with eye of ender
edner portal= not broken but needs eyes of ender to work
im pretty sure that makes them differnt portals
On 10/9/2011, at around 9:20am (+10), during his gameplay stream, Jens began searching for an Ender portal. This appeared to be done by throwing an Eye of Ender, which appeared to float briefly into the direction of the nearest ender portal. It is unsure as to whether an eye leads to a portal, or to a stronghold (portals are situated in strongholds) because it was implied that there was a possibility that there could not be a portal inside a stronghold. This was evident when Jens said "I KNOW there is a portal in here because of the debug logs".
Basically, this says that the ENDER PORTALS are in the stronghold, not air portals THAT DO NOT EXIST.
air portal = some **** i made up because i want to call it skylands
edner portal = what actually exists but I refuse to acknowledge it

Who's being an ass? The one who points out that this one detail is not actually confirmed yet, or the crowds of people who claim to be 100% right because of pure speculation (however likely it may be) and flame him for the most ridiculous reasons?
Just like OP said, I really can't see the logic in making some air-themed gate material and then suddenly direct it to the darkest corner of the world.
And just because the Aether mod did a great job doesn't mean that he won't add it. Millenaire also did a heck of a great job on NPC villages, but notch is adding them anyways.
And also he DID promise a sky dimension. Notch doesn't seem like the person to go back on his words. Furthermore you can even find samples of the sky dimension placed randomly in the 1.9.3 maps as well...
It was also reported that their would be atleast 2 major content updates before the final release, so plenty of space for both projects
As I see it they're definitely 2 different dimensions
Notch has gone back on his word gods (note: plural) know how many times.
Maybe if you had watched Jeb_'s live feed of him playing on hardcore mode today, you would get that those crystal block's textures were changed to look more "Ender-ish". The skyland and Ender Realm are the same, the skylands being an idea, and the Ender being the result. -.-
I'll accept that, although whether it's right or wrong is of no consequence to me, as I don't use it for matters of speculation. So I'll accept it just to not get into another argument.
It seems evident as of today that the blue crystal portals we see in [1.9 PR3] are being changed in textures.
It has not yet been confirmed that the [Ender/The End/Enderverse/Ender Dimension] is in fact what the idea for "Sky Dimension/Realm" has evolved into.
However, it is probable, based on speculation and the "Sky Dimension" title that [Ender/The End/Enderverse/Ender Dimension] is in fact what has evolved from the concept.
Why would Notch scrap/change the idea? Pretty simple:
1) He didn't really put much thought into it until the 1.8/1.9 phase of the game, as it was only a rough idea, suddenly hyped and desired.
2) He likes what the community does, and is why he has debated things to come in regards to the coding of the game and allowing freedom for mod makers to inspire such amazing ideas. This ties into the next reasoning.
3) The AEther is what it is. It is doubtable that Notch would create a "Sky Dimension" that would possibly kill off such an expansive mod that the team behind it put so much effort into making.
If the portals were made with water, it would cause a conflict in the mod. If the portals would bring you to a place very similar to AEther, that would make new players out of the loop potentially knock a great mod as being a rip off, when in reality, it would be Notch caving in to demands to make an AEther dimension clone.
4) Notch never gave explicit details when he commented that he would make a "Sky Realm/Dimension", thus, he never promised what the content of such a realm would be, giving him the freedom to make a twist on the idea.
Essentially, all he agreed to was to make another place that you must access by a new portal. He never said the name would stay the same, nor that it would be an AEther clone. He left himself enough gaps in his promise to figure out what he was going to do.
5) The [Ender/The End/Enderverse/Ender Dimension] could be just another realm in addition to the "Sky Realm/Dimension", but the reason it is unlikely that we are so close to his desired code/update freeze before they tuck away for official release of the game that it is too highly probable that [Ender/The End/Enderverse/Ender Dimension] is in fact what the "Sky Realm/Dimension" evolved into.
Speculation within consideration of what has transpired so far and what is planned to transpire.
6) It looks like The Ender of 1.9 features to me. Pun-tastic!

the newer one is for ender and now the air portal is probobly going to be for skylands
It gets a result.
WHAT AIR PORTAL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? The "old" portal was a different TEXTURE, not a different BLOCK. Let the damn thing go, you're wrong.
air portal= blue and needs to be repaired with eye of ender
edner portal= not broken but needs eyes of ender to work
im pretty sure that makes them differnt portals
It gets a result.

Terrain Generation Changes: Which biomes and world-building features are most in need of change?
Now THAT would be interesting. Reminds me of that Planetoids mod. *ponders if that has been updated at all*
It gets a result.
and yet i bellieve earlier most of you said never to trust what the wiki says or has.
karma much?
You were the one relying on the wiki previously, if I recall. And it is now against you.
You know what? I take that back. Karma much indeed, but not how you seem to think.
It gets a result.
it does seem obvious at the moment that the stronghold portals will take you to the ender
HOWEVER
that is not to say the skylands won't be refurbished into some from of dream dimension/world gen option later
i was relying on the wiki now it is YOU who is relying on the wiki after saying not to rely on it.
im pretty sure thats your karma right there
You're a moron.
You have two choices here:
1. Continue to make an ass of yourself
2. Admit you may be wrong, and the whole thing will be over.
Pick choice 2, it's a much better alternative.
