Currently, the game allows only portals in this configuration (without using MCEdit):
Which is fine, but people love building grand edifices - and for SMP it makes the server look cool and makes important objects more obvious. So my suggestion is, for 1.6, to allow for portals in larger sizes than the 2x3 configuration to be built. If it's relatively simple to do that, I would also suggest allowing for custom shapes as well, so people can build the Stargate of their dreams:
Now, I fully agree with your suggestion, but in the meantime, isn't it possible to use the /give command to spawn portal blocks and use them in the meantime?
Just a band-aid workaround suggestion. :smile.gif:
No, when you place a portal block next to one already place, the first one vanishes. The only way to get a custom portal is through MCEdit.
Sounds good to me, I had a similar issue, someone decided they wanted to try using the Nether on our server (They were told that it wouldn't work, but whatever.) and they had to build 3 different portals. +1 support

I know it isn't currently possible because of the delay on entering the nether but it would be nice to have horizontal portals too. Makes for some interesting traps.

It will be fixed in the next update.
I am aware.
