This just occured to me; As a minecraft server operator, I would like to be able to build a portal to go to another server with a similarly configured portal.
The way I invision this working:
1. Build portal on both servers.
2. Activate portals.
3. New menu appears asking me if I would like this portal to connect to the nether, another plane of existence, or to possibly wait for an incoming connection.
4. Apply IP address of target server.
5. Perhaps make the gate color green when server is available? Red when not?
6. Is this gate made of Emeralds or something else?
Obviously there will need to be some goofing around with whitelist/blacklist files. The server operators will have to make sure they have their machines accepting these connections. Strange questions need to be answered, such as; what happens when I log off on the other server, and then log in to my own server? Also potential network loop hazards.
All that stuff aside, server to server portals seem like an intersting idea, and not outside the realm of possibility or difficulty network-wise. I feel that it would benefit the community to bolster inter-server collaboration.
Does this already exist? Perhaps a Mod I am missing?
It would be interesting to do this, but a little difficult as you have to conect two different servers and all the PCs connected to them. It would also allow some people to go to a server that they don't want to go to. Correct me if I am wrong.
