Enjoy. The main pyramid and the center inverse lava pyramid was made by hand (roughly 25,000 blocks of cobblestone, and about 6 hours work). The lava moats I edited in since I'll be starting again legit when the Halloween update comes out :biggrin.gif:
This is a win. Too bad Ghasts will nuke the place

Minimalist but effective. The fenced off area is an observation gallery, the windows go into the control room, which may (if I ever feel like it) contain a button to drop a metric ****ton-o-gravel into the room in the event that it is overrun by ghasts.
The portal will be at the far end of this room located in the basement

Here is a view from the first floor, (portal room from above)

Because i don't see these Ghasts as too much of a problem if you have a bow and arrow.
Because you obviously haven't heard yet that they are the most unfair mob in the game and Notch hasn't been able to kill one yet.

I hope they work in this orientation too, all my architecture is based on prime numbers.
Would be awesome if they worked in any orientation, even laying flat. Have a mine field that drops them into hell instead of blowing them up :biggrin.gif:
I started building the huge room for my surplus of iron, gold, diamond, and the like (safer than keeping them in crates) But now I'm wondering if i should use it for a portal room.
Here is my hell gate, I might make some modifications. The towers are a pain to build, I died about 5 time even with some scaffolding structures. The portal is on top of the left tower.

I wonder if you could start a mine-cart track on one side and let it connect to a track on the otherside. Imagine it's use an express line!
Can you only build portals from the earth side? If you build a portal in hell, where on earth will it be placed (no pun intended)? There is a 16x16x128 possible area.
Anyway I would cover my portals on the hell side with A LOT of dirt, and have it burried in deep, so I can wander through tunnels between portals quickly without worrying about the dangers. I could also mine downwards in these tunnels as long as I don't have any 5x5x5 (or possibly 4x4x4) free areas.
i just made a save that im going to explore as little as possible on, to save chunks for biomes. (and still getting a healthy supply of lanterns) and i plan on making a portal room deep under my base.
(of course, if ghasts decide to come crashing upwards to fireball my sorry ass i will ****
might post picks when i am finished with it.

There may be typos in my posts, and due to asbergers, they may not make sense.

I'm sorry Ryan, but this forum disproves your statement...
I haven't gotten a picture since I am not playing till the Halloween update comes out, but I plan on either making a daedric hand raising out of the ground with the portal in the palm, or have a sort of "facility" (think assaulted area 51) that houses it deep within the complex.
If HG's can be placed horizontally then I'm gonna put mine in my epic crater!

You might just say... they'll make a ghastly mess of it.

this is pretty legit not gonna lie
It's not much compared to some, but I think it's alright...
Portal's in the mouth. I was going to revise the face shape when I felt more enthused. I was also going to do an arm reaching outward.
Yay I have internets now! If you've ever felt like I deserved one before I had it just make it up by clickin' it now! ;p

I wrote a blog post about this thread.
Some 50-70 blocks deep ladder..
..secure entrance
Preparation area
Viewing platform
Right walkway down to gate room
Emergency demolition button (break glass, push button)
Gate room door (self closing for a hasty getaway)
Viewing platform from below and backup supply chest
Gate (sunk into floor, firewood for effect)
Kill it with.. water and TNT I guess (payload for previously pictured demo button)
I'm just going to craft one in broad daylight and hop through with a stone pickaxe, shovel, and a stack of torches, lol.
I made a huge tower... but i wonder what will happen if i enter it from high above...
I know the gate is out of the ordinary, and that i miss the remaining obsideum underneath, but that is something il finnish up later.
