So we all know the difficulty with Nether portals and their unpredictability. I propose to eliminate this unpredictability in quite a simple way.
Whenever a portal cannot appear because there is ground in the way(either in the Nether or in the real world) it creates a large explosion to make way for the gate to appear. Similar to the explosion Creepers make.
Also, whenever a portal doesn't appear because it is 'floating', it should create a small patch of land around it in the air instead. This way you wouldn't just fall to your death by exiting the portal, and the symmetry between worlds could be contained.
If these things were implemented, portals would always be scaled properly and you wouldn't be randomly sent across the map if a portal could not be placed were you wanted it to be.

Well, that would just be if you didn't measure properly :tongue.gif:
But yea, there is a problem if the portal would spawn underwater or in lava... I don't know how that could be avoided other than the current method.
