The first recorded appearance of rifts in Parallel history is in the teaser trailer "Linearity'" for the opening of Parallel as a multiplayer server. The video was uploaded to Youtube channel DiamondBackPlays and the #announcements channel in Discord on Monday, March 30, 2020 at 4:10 PM EST.

==Nomenclature== | |||
The [[Parallel University Physics Department]] advises the use of a standard identity code nomenclature for identifying and cataloguing individual rifts discovered in Parallel. The style is as follows: | |||
(Category) - (Subtype) - (Location Initial+Destination Initial+ ''Rift Color Initial'') - (MM/YY of discovery)* | |||
<nowiki>*</nowiki>See exception for Nether and End portals | |||
''Notes'' | |||
-The Greek letter corresponding to the rift’s category or subtype is used in those respective terms | |||
-The subtype term may be omitted if a rift does not have a subtype | |||
-Location initials are as follows: P’ = [[Parallel Prime]], O = [[Otherside]], E = [[The End]], S = [[The Sky Dimension]], N’ = [[Nether Prime]], and N° = [[Otherside Nether]]. | |||
-Use ROYGBIV (red/orange/yellow/green/blue/indigo/violet) for rift color identities | |||
-The Physics Department does not actively catalogue [[Nether]] or [[End]] portals on any world unless they are especially relevant to server gameplay mechanics or the storyline. | |||
-Identity codes for Nether and End portals replace the (MM/YY of discovery) term with (X coordinate + Y coordinate + Z coordinate) terms. | |||

A spherical rift (𝜋-class) is comprised of many individual rift blocks arranged in a spherical shape. Spherical rifts have varying radii and are stable even when disturbed when they reach a sufficient size. | A spherical rift (𝜋-class) is comprised of many individual rift blocks arranged in a spherical shape.

A variant (𝜏-form) was observed in the [[Spawn Town (Otherside)|Otherside Spawn Town]]. It is a spherical rift that consists of a mixture of nether portal blocks and inert purple and magenta stained glass blocks. | A variant (𝜏-form) was observed in the [[Spawn Town (Otherside)|Otherside Spawn Town]].
