I did not build it (I am not insane), see the Minecraft thread. There are mods available to increase height.

You should put some glowstone in the floor, so other mobs don't spawn there.

Slimes only spawn in slime spawning chunks. If there is no extra slime spawning chunk nearby, there's no need to widen the room.

This will be very useful when I decide to engineer the purge function on my moat!

Flip lever, blocks retract, lava flood the moat. Mobs die.

Are there any Glowstone deposits in the nether that havent been mined yet? lol

Plenty, although I recommend getting silk touch if you can.

The nether is infinite, the answer is yes

I tried twice and failed horribly twice. Lost a diamond sword too (damn ghast).

I didn't feel much like MC today, otherwise I would have helped you. I prefer hunting for Glowstone in a team (arrowstar knows what I mean). One guy is basically bodyguarding with a bow and lots of arrows to keep the Ghasts at bay, also putting up walls on platforms for protection. Other person just builds platforms and bridges to Glowstone and harvests.

When I get back on after work tonight ill see if someone wants to come with me. Otherwise I'm bringing a chest and when I get to the remnants of the platform I'm dumping everything except netherrack and a pick. Ill see if I can get some walls up. Hopefully I won't be contending with 2 ghasts like last time lol.

Ghasts only take 2 shots from a bow to kill, and you can knock their fireballs back. Fairly easy to kill, in the grand scheme of things.

True, but if you're suspended in air on a 1x1 bridge 60 blocks above lava and two ghasts are around you, the scheme get's pretty small :lol:

My homestead has made some progress, and it has a new resident!

The new house you see in the background here belongs to the one and only FSXHD! He moved in yesterday, and has been very helpful in resource gathering and farm improvements. As you can see, our farm has substantially grown since my last post. He also helped in fencing off our homestead, which was a big help (some of the regulars are familiar with my mob troubles :lol

My house also has some improveme.... hey what's that lever?

It opens a trapdoor to my super secret basement!

Not much aside from the communal enchantment table right now, but expansions are easy!

I welcome any and all visitors, and there is plenty of room on the island if you want to move in! My only request is you keep the houses in the same architecture style you see here, wood and white wool.

Hielor, that stronghold I found... you were wrong, a fully intact ender portal exists. The fact that the ender eyes didn't lead here seems to suggest theres something wrong with it, however.

Just found it today, before i fell in lava.

Ender eyes are glitched out a bit. Sometimes they point to a seemingly random location where there is no stronghold.

The good thing about strongholds is that if you find one, you can estimate where the other two will be. Find the location of the end portal, the other two are spaced 120° angle away, with x = 0, z = 0 being the center. The distance is between 640 to 1152 block radius out. That gives you a general area where to look.

Heck, I need some glowstone, I'll come with. Nether adventures are always fun.

Seems like Eyes of Ender only point towards one stronghold. In this case, the one west of Communia. :shrug:

How far apart do nether portals on the overworld need to be in order not to interfere with each other?
