Surely everyone knows by now that the only really important part of the Portal Gun mod is the boots, right?
Clearly not everyone, since I don't even know which boots you're talking about. Portal Gun has caused some serious issues in all my 1.6.4 worlds. I've had the centre of my base displaced with a chunk of stone from somewhere else more than once - there was a chance for chunk displacement every time when a chunk with open portals would usually be loaded or unloaded, affecting both ends of the portal even if one end was chunkloaded by other means. So I dispensed with this mod as a means of teleportation, and I've never bothered to check if the 1.7 versions are working better. I'd like to know what those boots are about though...

The "Long Fall Boots" - they stop all fall damage. I disagree with the point though, as that depends on what you define as important :D

... You forgot to mention that they never break and provide decent protection against other stuff as well ;)
... I liked putting PotatOS on my gun. The aerial faithplates were fun as well...
The thing that was a combination of frustrating and hilarious were the oracle turrets. It seemed like they only piece of dialog they could recite was the legend of Prometheus. Drove me nuts. XD

Its annoying not having fast travel to get back from early game mining trips but at the same time, I think fast travel is a goal worth working for. Ive been using a mod called Ender Book for my 1.7.10 teleporting needs. It does what you think, sets waypoints for the cost of ender pearls. A network of portals you actually have to build and walk through sounds more fun, less cheaty and best of all you dont lose them when you die. So maybe Portal gun does have its place after all, because I could disable all but one of the portal gun recipes so you can only have one portal for quick jumps back and forth and need more permanent solutions for everything else.
