Plan:
Make an obsidian room, takes about 4 real days to mine all the obsidian for it.
Make a hole in the floor and fill it with TNT.
Blow the Ghasts to pieces if they come through.
It only takes probably 15 minutes to mine up enough obsidian for a small room. What the hell do you mean 4 days?
Making a 5x5 room around a portal, you'll need 25 for each face, 6 faces (including floor), and you need 125 obsidian
That takes 32 minutes to mine (15 sec each, rounded up), my bad. Not near 4 days though. o_o
EDIT: Oh, and of course, the corners of the room can serve as more than one face's obsidian. So you're gonna have like, only 90 or something obsidian instead. I forgot.

But you have to take into account that you may need to find several lava deposits to get all the obsidian, adjusting water flow so your obsidian doesn't get burned up by lava underneath it, etc...
Knowing that makes me want to build a large fortress around a portal with the portal itself being closed into a room with windows viewing in (somewhat like the command room in stargate sg1). I'll also design some built in 'extermination' methods to kill of enemies that spawn in there while having a last ditch chamber higher up in the fortress to use as a panic room in case they break in through my defences half life style.
Gonna have to enclose my portal in a separate room now; probably have a few water (maybe lava?) blocks on the ceilingthat can be activated/released quickly, so I can drown the entire room if I need to

Well this is just me but... Water moats are so wet and dirty and annoying.... Real men make moats of liquid hellfire forged in the bowels of the earth and torn from the teat of the unholy adminium. Real MANLY Men create a LAVAFALL of death.
but will ghasts spawn in a fully lit area? if they wont, im totally going to make hallways through hell to all the places far away on my map. :biggrin.gif:

They completely disregard light sources and can spawn anywhere (In hell or near a portal).
This is cool news. I can't wait for Notch to add some kind of trap functionality so I can get to work on my own Minecraft zoo. :biggrin.gif:
As long as mobs captured with traps don't despawn unless killed.
(If the chunk they're in is unloaded, they should be transformed into a special "Block" upon being saved, so they don't despawn. But once the chunk is loaded again, the block automatically turns back into the creature. If just keeping it as a forever spawned mob would be too hard.)

What's the point of the portal room if you can't use it in the first place though? :tongue.gif:
If Ghasts are spawning in there, how exactly do you plan on entering without dying?

How often do you see spider riders? Expect ghast spawning to be like that.

Agreed.
