So you have a portal in your house and the thing bugs you with the "spooky" music it plays every time you go near. You have no way to disable it unless you break the portal, and you don't want that. Solution? Make a switch!
So I think you should be able to place a button on your part of your and if you press the button it will deactivate it, as if it was not lighted. To reactivate it you (obviously) just use the .
Please keep this thread up. My portal is starting to bug me.
Does a TNT explosion still disable it? I remember at one point if a Ghast's attack hit near your portal it would deactivate, though the room would have to be Obsidian for it to not destroy your house.

All right everyone, if we don't buy Lamborghinis for one day, the price will go way down and then we can all afford one. It's Economics!
Maybe you can use one of the switches? A button disables it temporarily, a lever disables it until you flip it again, and a pressure plate disables it for as long as you are on it.

Have you ever wondered if butterflies fart?
If they do fart, I bet the farts smell flowery.
I think flowers smell flowery because butterflies fart on them.
What if you were topside playing with a friend who, if it's ever fixed, is out in the Nether. Slightly annoyed at the sound, without realizing where your friend is, ya shut off the portal. Now your friend is stuck! There'd have to be a way to re-activate the portal from the Nether.
Great idea! I can't stand the portal's constant drone

If you disable the overworld portal, the nether portal still works.
Exactly why we should have levers, buttons, and pressure plates

breaking the portal involves mining a block of obsidian. Not exactly convenient, and exactly what we are trying to avoid.
Boo hoo. It's one block. Not every little damn thing has to be served on a silver platter and spoonfed to you. You want that, go play a crappy FPS game with infinite ammo and godmode.
And it's plenty convenient because you won't have to wait for some pointless disable function. Break off a block, put it back when you need the portal.

or put it back and light it when you need the portal. seriously, 15 seconds isn't that long. Boohoo, roughly one 40th of a day passed and now it's slightly closer to nighttime.

So i assume that you also hate shovels, axes, minecarts and dispensers?

Portals can deactivate if there is fire adjacent to it (started by the player or Ghasts). TNT or an exploding Creeper can also disable a portal, but cannot destroy the surrounding Obsidian.
It seems you're supposed to be able to disable portals with flint and steel, but I've tried it before and it doesn't work.

I also HATE the sounds from my portal... and I have a subwoofer, so I have to turn the base down, or my house will shake to the ground >.<
I APPROVE!

Way to make a lousy assumption.

That last step took less time than harvesting a medium sized tree.

Say you do want to turn the portal off 10 times over the course of a session. You just wasted 5 minutes turning off portals.
Not to mention needing a diamond pick handy.
