So, Nether portals are cool, but not dangerous enough. :dry.gif:
So, here's my ideas.
1. Ender pearls open Nether portals, not flint and steel. So you have to take on Endermen to open one. This makes sense, because Endermen can teleport.
2. Nether portals would be one-time opened. In other words, using an ender pearl on a portal instantly consumes the pearl and opens the portal until you step through, then you will be stuck in the Nether with a closed portal. To return, you must bring an ender pearl with you into the Nether, or else you are stuck inside until you die or are brought out with the help of your SMP rescue team. Unless you are friendly with villagers, then they could save you.... No, thats a different suggestion.
3. Emergency way back!
If you are stuck in the Nether, you must complete the ULTIMATE NETHER CHALLENGELOL.
Using a Ghast Tear, Blaze Rod, Gold Nugget, and whatever nether slimes drop on a portal opens it with a flickering blue color, in which case the portal will stay open for 5 seconds, giving you the chance to hop in and hold your breath, hoping you make it though back to Earth. This combination only works in the Nether.
