I can confirm this. Driving boats or riding pigs through a portal won't work either.

Patrik Žori 2012-10-29T16:25:59Z

its true

Mustek 2012-11-22T19:43:26Z

Dinnerbone has confirmed that this is by design, and thus not a bug.

Walter Tester 2012-11-23T06:25:32Z

Oh, that's a shame 😞. Does anybody have a link to Dinnerbone's confirmation?

kumasasa 2012-11-23T07:02:52Z

There is no link, just take it what Mustek wrote.

so it will not be fixed? because the status is 'resolved'

kumasasa 2012-11-25T20:08:10Z

Read the comments:

Dinnerbone has confirmed that this is by design, and thus not a bug.

thus

Works as Intended"

Jesper the End 2012-11-25T20:27:14Z

Yeah I read that, but the status says 'resolved'.

Chalmes (Jon) 2012-11-25T22:45:45Z

"Resolved", with a resolution of "Works As Intended".

Jesper the End 2012-11-26T06:52:23Z

Ah, ok. Thnks

Torabi 2012-12-13T13:28:37Z

So has the status on this changed, since Dinnerbone has marked MC-1969 as fixed in 12w50a? This certainly seems contradictory with the claim that the behavior listed here is "by design, and thus not a bug", though I suppose he could have decided to change it anyway.

kumasasa 2012-12-13T19:31:34Z

Status on this ticket is not changed.
Tested with 12w50a: Only unoccupied Minecarts travel through the portal.

beewyka819 2012-12-28T16:59:32Z

Is there any mod that lets this work?

Joshua Smith 2013-04-18T22:42:16Z

Confirmed with riding a horse.

Just updating this so that people who might report this issue have a possibility of seeing this one.

(the version affected should be updated as well)

Jesper the End 2013-06-24T12:09:17Z

this isn't a bug anymore since jeb told this is intended.

Roadsguy 2014-04-14T14:28:58Z

Why on earth is this intended? Why shouldn't you be able to ride a horse through a portal?

Jesper the End 2014-04-14T17:52:09Z

this is intended because it's to hard to fix and unnecessary

[Mod] markderickson 2020-09-16T14:55:46Z

Hi!
I can confirm for release 1.16.3.

GamerMan12 2020-11-08T01:03:37Z

A bug that was once fixed makes a return? Odds of that happening?

Happened quite a few times, actually. See https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-67?jql=project%20%3D%20%22Minecraft%3A%20Java%20Edition%22%20AND%20fixVersion%20is%20not%20EMPTY%20AND%20resolution%20!%3D%20Fixed%20ORDER%20BY%20fixVersion%20ASC

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Creeper Juice 2021-08-02T02:28:33Z

This may be intentional. See https://youtu.be/EtKcphC4fIc?t=36

Dmitry Konev 2021-08-05T17:27:55Z

The ticket has recently been reopened and recieved Mojang priority, which means the developers classify this as a valid bug.

windwend 2021-08-19T02:45:53Z

At this point, might actually treat this as a feature.

Avoma 2021-10-04T07:20:16Z

Can confirm this behavior in 21w39a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

The Bug:

Entities with passengers cannot travel through portals.

Steps to Reproduce:

Build a nether portal, light it, and enter it.
Return to the overworld.
Summon an entity with a passenger, for example, a spider jockey.

/summon minecraft:spider ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:skeleton",HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:bow",Count:1b}]}]}

Push the spider jockey into the nether portal you previously built and watch it closely.

Observed Behavior:

Entities with passengers cannot travel through portals.

Expected Behavior:

Entities with passengers would be able to travel through portals.

So did anyone find a mod for this? Immersive portals doesn't seem to support it: https://github.com/iPortalTeam/ImmersivePortalsMod/issues/681

I've yet to test https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/netherminecarts.110193/ but it's a plugin.

muzikbike 2024-05-22T15:18:05Z

This doesn't appear to be fixed for me?

@unknown Set the gamerule entitiesWithPassengersCanUsePortals to true

[Mod] EVGENSYPERPRO 2024-05-29T22:18:07Z

The gamerule was removed in 1.21 pre-release 1, but it is now fixed even without the gamerules.
