gollark: It would probably be necessary to fix the thing where it sometimes teleports you into walls, and you take damage until you somehow fall out.
gollark: I like the Ender IO (Minecraft mod) staff of traveling (short-range personal teleporter), so either that or a really really good computer (for purposes).
gollark: It might be interesting to consider what the graph of the connections would look like. Depending on how far apart habitats are in the network, there could still be a lot of variation between them.
gollark: I mean that you could enclose an area with protected chunks containing impassable-without-breaking-them walls.
gollark: It would only make sense if you were protecting a rather large interior area though.
