BTW, if your needs are modest, you could try a free Minecraft server from Alternos. The disadvantage is, your server "goes down" if no one is on it for a certain amount of time. This is not a major obstacle, you just have to start it up when you want to play. But if other people wanted to get on when it's down, they would have to bug you to do it.
I have played around with the free server and at first glance it seems like it would be fine for a few players. No risk in finding out, anyway.
Play with a trusted friend (that won't keep your stuff once you die) and practice, practice, practice. If you play on a public or white-listed server, practice on that server.
In my opinion, Infinity. First, it just seems to me that Infinity is easier to get, so saves Mending for other things. I don't care if my bow is unbreakable. An Unbreaking 3 bow seems like it lasts forever, and it just always seems I have several other Infinity bows waiting for when it does break. I just don't like keeping track of my arrows.
Well you could try the half-slab idea, or another transparent block, like glass. Pigmen spawn at any light level. Having a floor of stained glass in a nether base sounds pretty cool, really. The disadvantage is you also cannot place rail and a few other things on transparent blocks. I'm sure you could work around that though.
Zombie pigmen won't bother you if you don't bother them. Other than that, I think if you use half slabs to build bridges, they won't spawn on that. But really, just ignore them.
For long bridges over lava, I do like to cover them to prevent ghasts from blasting me off the side.
Part of the problem is when searching for your first End City, you don't have Elytra wings.
Bring your block of choice (cobble, whatever) and start building a bridge in some direction. Hopefully you will find another island with a city (and ship).

Zombie villagers before 1.9 (I think) looked a lot like regular zombies. After that, they changed so they are more differentiated.

Now that is nice looking!

I'd like to know too. (I subscribed, but thought I'd reply just in case...)

All blocks are needed.

BTW also amused at having stacks of 999. That was definitely before my time!

AntVenom did a video on "forgotten structures", including your pyramid.

Holy cow, what a mess.

I just watched a video a few days ago with some comparisons:

I've never been moved to put a base in the nether, but I have to say ghasts in current versions don't seem as hostile as they used to be.
edit - If it's a concern, one could always put stone down, then glass on top of that.
