:''"Place a portal anywhere."
:    - Level 2 [[Workbench]]


== Overview ==
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|single-player]] world.
Each [[world]] starts with one portal through which the first [[Blockhead]] enters. The portal can subsequently be used to [[craft]] items, make in-app purchases, and warp in up to three additional Blockheads.


== Products ==
==Where Found==
With the proper resources, a portal can be used to "warp in" a variety of [[items]]. Without [[Portal Upgrade|upgrades]], the only item that can be obtained is a [[Workbench]]. With upgrades, a [[:Category:Gem|gem]] [[pickaxe]] or various ores or ingots can also be acquired.
A portal can be crafted at a level 2 workbench for one stone and 120 [[Time Crystal|time crystals]]. Prior to [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]], it instead required 100 time crystals.

==Upgrades==
Portal upgrades require a gem of the correct type and a number of [[Time Crystal|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.

== In-App Purchases ==
===Removed items===
The following are in-app purchases that are exchanged for real cash.
Warping in resources was removed in [[Game updates/20131010|version 1.4]] because the developer, [[David Frampton]], felt that the warping in of resources "felt too much like cheating".

== Upgrades ==
==Crafting==
[[Portal Upgrade|Portal upgrades]] require a gem of the correct type and a number [[Time Crystal|time crystals]] dependent on the upgrade. The progression of upgrades seems to parallel the rarity of the gems used.
Portals crafted at a [[workbench]] can be crafted into a [[Trade Portal|trade portal]] or a [[Portal Chest|portal chest]] at a portal.

==Additional Portals==
A level 2 [[workbench]] can be used to create additional portals for one [[stone]] and 120 [[Time Crystal|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|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.


== Additional Portals ==
Unlike a world's default portal, the block an added portal stands on is patterned as [[Construction|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 [https://twitter.com/majicDave/status/767805043806396416 August 22, 2016, Twitter post], "Random Blockheads trivia: The whole portal thing was inspired by Stargate. I was watching SG-1 at the time."


== Warp In Blockhead ==
==Gallery==
You can warp in up to four total Blockheads. The first Blockhead in a [[world]] is always free, the next three cost 50 time crystals and five (5) randomly decided fruit.
