I just noticed this a couple days ago. The unwaxed oxidized cut copper still gives 2 slabs.

My husband & I play in a single player world on PS4 & our portals started making a weird, almost clicking sort of sound when we passed through them & taking a while to spawn us in at the next place about a week or so ago. I remembered when this portal issue originally came up last year so I got nervous & lo & behold, tonight it failed to load the Nether at all. After waiting about 5min, I saved it & closed out & went back in. When my husband spawned in he was falling through a soul sand valley. He landed in a lava lake & died. Our portal actually is under a soul sand valley (Y15), so I’m not sure how he ended up above it… 

Temporary workaround, although it’s kind of a pain, is to save your world & make sure it’s backed up prior to each attempt @ using a portal. I’ve found that sometimes my portals work & sometimes they don’t, so if it doesn’t work, I can just d/l my world & try it again. If it does work I can just save/backup again before using the next portal. Not perfect &, again, kind of a pain, but better than not being able to use your portals @ all!

I play on a PS4. I’m having this same issue w the portals transporting me to the same X/Z as the OW coordinates I was at but I was not having this issue prior to the 1.16.220 update. 

I’ve had it happen both ways - going into the Nether AND coming out of it. coming out of it, twice, I’ve been dropped from the sky. Luckily, I was dropped into the ocean both times.

Sometimes a return portal is there & sometimes one isn’t. The 3rd time it happened, I wasn’t able to start trying to find my way back right then so I saved & exited. There hadn’t been a return portal. When I re-entered, there was a return portal. I didn’t go into it bc I was so far away & need to save new terrain loads for the 1.17 release. The next time it happened, I was leaving the Nether & was teleported to a cave, with no return portal having spawned - that I could see. I took a few steps forward to look around & when I backed up again, I was teleported back to the Nether even though there had been no visible portal there. This, coupled w the other portal appearing after I’d saved & returned, leads me to believe that return portals may be spawning each time & just aren’t visible for some reason. Please note that when I was teleported back to the Nether, I did NOT return to the portal I’d come from, but a different one within my hub. I’m sure that’s expected given that I’d been teleported so far.

Hopefully this can be resolved quickly. It’s extremely disruptive. Thanks team!! 💐
