Portal

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.

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".

Upgrades

Portal upgrades require a gem of the correct type and a number time crystals dependent on the upgrade. The progression of upgrades parallels the rarity of the gems used.

With the exception of double-time, portal upgrades require resources which are consumed if the requirements are met. Those upgrades unlock items that can be warped in.

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. Like the original portal, it can be upgraded and produce any of the appropriate products.

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 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.

Teleport Here

See also: Teleport Here

Beginning with 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 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.
