-Read the entirety of this page before building anything. Best practice is to scout out locations for both of the portals FIRST (and do this in accordance with the rules below), and then contact an admin (mhbates) to confirm that your desired Wilds portal location isn't too close to an existing portal. +Read the entirety of this page before building anything!

Here are formulas for you to reference when figuring out where to build your portals:
  
-**In the Overworld:** Get the Overworld coordinates of your portal (hit F3 on your keyboard while in-game) and DIVIDE the X and Z coordinates by 12. That will be the location of the portal in the Wilds.+**In the Overworld:** Get the Overworld coordinates of your desired portal location (hit F3 on your keyboard while in-game) and DIVIDE the X and Z coordinates by 12.

 **In the Wilds:** Inverse of the above - grab the coordinates of your portal in the Wilds and MULTIPLY the X and Z coordinates by 12; this is where your Overworld portal should be. **In the Wilds:** Inverse of the above - grab the coordinates of your portal in the Wilds and MULTIPLY the X and Z coordinates by 12; this is where your Overworld portal should be.

 ==== Portal Construction ==== ==== Portal Construction ====
  
-**Shape:** The portal frame can be virtually any shape you'd like, as long as you can fit through it obviously. It can even be horizontal instead of vertical. See photo for example.+**Shape:** The portal frame must be a complete square or rectangle; it can't be a circle or an irregular shape. Also, it doesn't necessarily need to be a vertical frame - you can get creative with it, but keep in mind that you'll need to go both IN and OUT of the portal. Account for things like gravity and feel free to experiment.
  
-**Material:** The frame must be constructed out of Jungle Log or Jungle Wood blocks.+**Material:** The frame must be constructed out of Jungle Log or Jungle Wood blocks, with the exception of areas like the floor, which may need to be dirt or grass in order to meet the Contents requirement.
  
-**Contents:** There must be some kind of natural/organic material within the portal frame. This can be grass, flowers, ferns, vines, sugarcane, etc. See photo for example.+**Contents:** There must be some kind of natural/organic material within the portal frame. This can be tall grass, flowers, ferns, sugarcane, etc., but keep in mind you'll still need to be able to move through it, so you can't use things like leaves.
  
 **Caveat:** Portals will not function properly if you move through them too fast - this is really only an issue if you're FALLING into a portal. **Caveat:** Portals will not function properly if you move through them too fast - this is really only an issue if you're FALLING into a portal.

 +==== Linkage & Protection ====
 +An admin will link the portals after making sure they're valid. Once linked, the portals themselves will be protected and thus cannot be broken by anyone, yourself included. If you would like to make changes, you will need to ask an admin to first unlink and unprotect the portals.
  
-==== Photos ====+Also note that while the portals will be protected, nothing outside of them will. Once you're in the Wilds, anything can happen.
