    It would be really much cooler if Warp Gates would have something like a gateway feel to them. So that they would look like a portal, with maybe something like blue ripples to it.
    So it would look something like the Star Gate entrance in Star Gate.

    This is the kind of thing that it would look like before you enter it:

    How about just putting the jump-texture-overlay on a flat surface in the center of all encompassed blocks?

    As far as I know this is planned, we don't know the look yet, but there will be something.

    Or that... But something that is moving a little, with even the slightest ripple, will make it look less like just an odd wallpaper in space that you pass through.

    I'd prefer if we could look through the gate like in Portal.
    That would take a ton of work and would probably impact performance heavily. At the very best it could possible display the color of the other nebula

    I'd be ok with this if we could link to to a light block to change the color of the portal.

    And it would be like some sort of TV noise with shades of the color of the light blocks connected to it.
