A '''portal''' is an object through which the first [[blockhead]] warped into a [[world]] enters. Each world starts with one portal. Additional portals can be crafted at a workbench. The portal can subsequently be used to [[craft]] items, make in-app purchases, and warp in up to four additional blockheads.

==Warp In Blockhead==
Players can warp in up to five total blockheads. The first blockhead in a [[world]] is always free. The second blockhead costs 50 time crystals and five randomly-selected fruit. Each successive blockhead costs 50 more time crystals than the previous, going up to 200 time crystals and five fruit for the fifth blockhead.


With the introduction of [[death]] in [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]], it should be noted that the cost and selected fruit is based on the number of currently active blockheads in the world for that player.

Beginning with [[Game updates/20130625|version 1.3]], a Blockhead can be instantly moved from anywhere in the [[world]] to a selected portal by expending a variable number of [[Time Crystal|time crystals]]. The number of crystals required depends on the distance between the two points (Blockhead and portal), ranging from 10 if within 409 block widths to 200 if at least 8192 block widths away. The formula for teleportation is clamp(distanceInBlocks * 200 / 8192, 10, 200), where distanceInBlocks represents the distance in blocks.

"Place a portal anywhere."
- Level 2 Workbench

A portal is an object through which the first blockhead warped into a world enters. Each world starts with one portal. Additional portals can be crafted at a workbench. The portal can subsequently be used to craft items, make in-app purchases, and warp in up to four additional blockheads for a total of five in a single-player world.

Where Found

A portal can be crafted at a level 2 workbench for one stone and 120 time crystals. Prior to version 1.5, it instead required 100 time crystals.

Upgrades

Portal upgrades require a gem of the correct type and a number of time crystals dependent on the upgrade. The progression of upgrades parallels the rarity of the gems used. Portal upgrades require resources which are consumed if the requirements are met. Those upgrades unlock items that can be warped in.

With the proper resources, a portal can be used to "warp in" a variety of items.

Removed items

Warping in resources was removed in version 1.4 because the developer, David Frampton, felt that the warping in of resources "felt too much like cheating".

Additional Portals

A level 2 workbench can be used to create additional portals for one stone and 120 time crystals. These portals are level 1 and placed directly into a blockhead's inventory. They can then be placed much as any other crafting surface except that they are three blocks tall. This is because they have both a portal's two-high "loop" and a single stone block as a base.

Unlike a world's default portal, the block an added portal stands on is patterned as placed stone, not smooth, natural stone. They also offer the option of being picked up and relocated by a blockhead similarly to any other Crafting Surface. Like the original portal, it can be upgraded and produce any of the appropriate products.

Trivia

Creator David Frampton said in an August 22, 2016, Twitter post, "Random Blockheads trivia: The whole portal thing was inspired by Stargate. I was watching SG-1 at the time."
