Preface: I don't play on Peaceful. That isn't Minecraft that's LEGO.
I am a Minecraft wuss. When exploring caves I commonly freak out when I turn a corner and come face to face with a skeleton (I've accidentally hit Q and dropped my sword multiple times). I'm seeking information on the wussiest way to explore Hell. Right now it seems like a Gate Room would be best in a small space which is completely enclosed in Obsidian. If it is too small for Ghasts to spawn in then there are no worries right? Why not do the same in Hell itself? Pop through the gate and immediately make a small obsidian corridor off of the gate itself. Then you just need to keep it well lit, have water for random fires, replace "hell soil" with regular soil. This sounds like a fairly simple solution, am I overlooking something?
Minecraft on peaceful isn't lego...it's a different play style preference. If you don't want ghasts, play in peaceful. Or there may be another difficulty setting that spawns normal mobs but not ghasts. We don't really know that much yet.

If someone spams or trolls your thread...don't get angry with them. Thank them. They just gave you a free bump.

No, it's Minecraft on peaceful.
That was a joke. More or less expressing my feeling that Minecraft without the hostile MOBs "isn't Minecraft." I refuse to play on Peaceful.

And we won't know how to stop Ghasts from spawning until we know exactly how they spawn, and to know that we need to wait for the update.
What do you mean we don't know? We do. They need a 5x5x5 room to spawn. My point is that, with this knowledge, we can simply refuse to give them the space they need to spawn in. That's a pretty simple concept. I just don't know if it will work.

Yeah, but we don't know if they spawn directly next to the portal, or within a certain radius, etc... We can't know for sure until the update comes out.
And I would assume they spawn everywhere in hell, not just near portals.
Obviously. But you could make an obsidian tunnel network straight from the portal. Each hallway would be only 2 blocks wide, the same width as the gate itself.

The idea of 'survival mode' with survival as the game's main focus is rather silly
Kind of like death-match where the main focus is killing other people right? Silly...

Bring your minigun bow and arrows and shoot spam at anything that moves.
Pretty sure I read that Ghasts will be immune to arrows. That might just be a rumor though. I can't remember where I saw that.
That was some moron/illiterate/silly person mistaking Notch saying he couldn't kill them with swords, he'd try arrows, and that he was making them immune to fire for he couldn't kill them because he made them immune to arrows.
Also, think about it. They fly. They shoot. Sure, like there's any other way to kill them. >_>
Now I have to prove you wrong by being the first person to kill a Ghast on Hard mode with no armour and bare hands
I while ago I saw someone mention that playing on peaceful wouldn't stop mobs in hell from spawning, but I'm not sure there's any truth to it. Though I'm also not sure whether there's not any truth to it.

Yes but Notch did say that they very occasionally spawn outside of hell within a certain proximity to your portals.
As for "Wuss" mode.. take a few dozen buckets of water I suppose :tongue.gif:
To those who have difficulty with the accidental dropping of items: Options->controls->drop, press something like 'p'

Peaceful stops the spawning, but does not remove ghasts already spawned.

Do it and be a manly man. xD
By that logic I shouldn't move unless I was intending on dropping something.
like so many now...I am wondering how you move....MC ain't on Wii is it?
