Nether portals need a danger to using them. They need a reason for you to build them in enclosed places. My idea is nether corruption. Something similar to snow in that it goes over top of blocks. It has one color purpleish red fleshy color with faces on it. It causes trees to die turning into a dead looking wood which makes there leaves turn black. Plus trees that are corrupted would support the spread of the corruption. It wouldn't grow over top of water or get past fire and lava. Above each corruption the sky would be perpetual nighttime and it would allow ghast an pigman to spawn plus normal monsters that spawn in darkness but at higher rate. It also wouldn't be able to go up any higher then 1 block up spots so players would be able to wall themselves in. Also if corrupted trees are removed and portal the corruption will recede. Worst case scenario would be portal in rain forest.
Please, let this come with the adventure update :biggrin.gif:
This would be so awesome, one cool thing would also be very VERY rare portal spawn occasions, so the corruption automatically spreeds before you even know about it, allowing something more to do other than mining...
Although I like the concept of nether portals gradually merging their world with mine, I think it should only work within a limited range or on certain materials.

IMO it would be cool if it just expanded on grass/dirt and it wouldn't expand downwards...
If it turns nearby cobblestone into netherrack, then sure. But people are just going to turn the portals on and off every time they want to go through, thus ensuring that no hell monsters spawn in the real world.

Yeah, but whatever... As long as there is no Eater of Worlds/Souls there I'll be fine :biggrin.gif:
True.
Bosses would acctually be very cool in this place too, some sort of mega Ghast or something, since the Nehter might be too small for it :smile.gif:
If ther will be bosses, for the love of god: No worms :smile.gif:
actually it has been implemented before. however I think they took it out. but even if thats planned i wouldnt like it unless there was corruption,
EDIT: just noticed the OP hasn't logged on in months, oh well. maybe someone here would like to open a new topic?
