Doh! That worked. I had been making the portal too big, apparently, and had been building it on a "stand". I started MC in 1.7x, which is more forgiving when it comes to Nether Portal design, I guess. Here's what screwed me up, I think: O=Obsidian S=Stone G=Ground OOOOO O O O O O O OOOOO SSS GGGGGGGGGG Thanks!

For the first, non-enhanced portal I built (horizontal x vertical): 5x5 5x6 6x5 4x5 and then I tried those and other configurations using the portal modifier and controller blocks. I tried both flint & steel variations on all types. Sigh. As to Obsidian type, the Chisel mod replaces vanilla MC Block 49 with its own variant obsidian--does that mean that obsidian won't work? I don't think that can be right. I'm going to try some other portal shape variations. I'll probably leave what little hair I have alone, though. Thanks for the suggestions. ​

I've been playing AotBT for awhile and it's chock full of delicious fun...but I can't get nether portals to ignite. I have tried: building normal portals (fail) building enhanced portals (by cheating. fail) resetting the mod pack (fail) starting a new world just to get a working nether portal (fail) deleting every version of meta.inf in any related .jar I can find (fail) pulling my hair out (ow. fail) So far? Luck is not mine. Is it AotBT? Is it something to do with MC 1.6.4 I am overlooking? Where should I be looking to find the solution to this problem? Any ideas/help/solutions/guidance/emotional support is appreciated. thx. NZ
