Portal-in-a-Box

I used the Portal-in-a-box to create Eldritch Altar and it worked fine, but I decided that it was too close to my base and destroyed it. I made a new Portal-in-a-box and a new platform 15x15 grass with 7 layers of dirt (then 7 replaced the bottom with 7 layers of cobble). It won't create a new altar, I tried in the previous location and it will not make one there either. There is no error that I can see, it just doesn't seem to function again.

how did you get the eyes of eldritch to make the portal in a box to start with ?

I used a Diabolist Fork on Eldritch Guardians, imprinted a crystal and put it in a Wrath Cage, turned ender pearls into Alienis essentia and spawned in a ton of guardians, used a MFR grinder to kill them.

I noticed while testing the Portal In A Box in creative mode, that they seem to need to be 22 blocks apart, center to center. I made a 10x70 grass platform (only 1 thick), and placed one PIAB. Then, kept scootching away until I could place another, then used the Bibliocraft tape measure to check the spacing of the obelisks. Center on one then on the other told me 22 blocks.

It really should recognize when an old one is gone. Also, it digs into bedrock when it spawns, and cuts off anything below Y=0 height. It in my opinion should spawn a minimum of it's actual height above the bedrock, and I also would like to note, that 22 wide apart is counting all the way to sky limit. I built a creative mode one via Portal in a Box, used at Y=2, it overwrote the bedrock and voided the bottom half of the structure, so I tried to build one in the next chunk over, I built a 12×70×12 platform of dirt (12 wide, 12 long, 70 high), used a new Portal in a Box, nothing.

at least it isnt like when you use the portal in a box it doesnt spawn you into a void which happened to me... I gave up with that and went with the gadomacy route and just cheat the ancient stone stuff it requires
