How to make a ON/OFF portal in Minecraft

Let's see how to make a super compact, cheap and simple ON/OFF redstone Nether portal in Minecraft.

Step 1: Gather building blocks

1 portal (10 obsidian)
1 redstone repeater
1 redstone
2 dispensers
1 sticky piston
2 observers
1 lever
2 pressure plates (optional)
1 lighter (flint&steel)
1 bucket of water

Step 2: Build it

Make a simple portal

Place a sticky piston on the left side

Place one observer on it, facing the outside

Next to that observer place a dispenser and another observer facing downward to another dispenser

Place 1 repeater (3 ticks) and one redstone on top

In the top dispenser, place a lighter. And place a water bucket in the other one

Place a lever and 2 optional pressure plates (to avoid water going everywhere if there's a bug)

Conclusion

And that's it! You now know how to create a ON/OFF portal. The components are pretty cheap and that whole thing will avoid pigmen from spawning into your house.
