This is not a feature I'm dying to have, but rather something that would have to be worked into the code real early:
What about portals that actually connect to another place, so that you could see into the place and walk into it without any loading or change or world in between?
This would require the minetest to draw the regular landscape, AND the landscape that can be seen through the portal (the hard part) and that enteties that entered a portal would have to be teleported to the portal destination.
This would probably be very complicated, but maybe there's a smart and simple solution somewhere in the basic 3d rendering code.
