this probably known already sense its pretty clear their there and im sure its just code they will change later
(this "bug" has been around sense creative came out)
this because the actual portals are blocks so the ender pearl can hit them
the oppisite is that flowers have a hit box but ender pearls cant hit them,so portals are technacly to the game blocks unlike flowers though
not a bug pistons cant be powered from below unless powered from a block this is because redstone only has to point directly at the piston
your welcome for the help 😃
if u look in the chat part it shows that it happens instantly and its not fake because it shows them all being taken in the same sec (u can tell by it spamming the notification
