The nether world is supposed to be "end game" stuff, and be pretty difficult. Until now the Nether has been really easy, havent tried the new mobs though. But with the nether updates coming on I feel there should be a change in how to make a nether world portal. Obsidian is supposed to be hard to get and take a LONG time to make a nether portal, but in every multiplayer survival server, especially now with abandoned mineshafts and all that, you can find obsidian in 5-10 minutes! It takes an hour maybe at most to find a few pieces of diamond to make a pickaxe with to mine obsidian, and then you have a working nether portal within 2 hours of the world starting. Thats not hard at all.
I think that since nether portals are supposed to be somewhat difficult to make at first that a change should be done in the requirements to build a gate. Just as with iron or gold or whatever, Obsidian should have an "obsidian block" made of 9 obsidian pieces that you mined. There should also be a control block or two (maybe the two blocks at the top of the gate). The nether portal gate should be made of these obsidian blocks that are each made up of 9 obsidian pieces, and the control block is the same way but instead of 9 obsidian pieces the center piece could be something like an Enderman pearl. This would still keep the same base form of the portal and its basic requirements, but would increase the difficulty and time required to get the resources for a gate by a considerable amount.
Also, Enderman should be more rare. I see like 5 every night in multiplayer.
And abandoned mine shafts shouldn't go on for so ****ing long, I have spent about four hours in my first one and I probably have AT LEAST HALF of it left to explore.

you don't need to find diamonds to make a nether gate though. all you need is some dirt and a few buckets. :biggrin.gif:
Thats true too even.
But with the changes I was thinking, you wouldnt be able to do that any more since you need to make real "obsidian block"s and "control blocks" from putting 9 obsidian in a crafting bench. Same way you make things like iron blocks and gold blocks.
wait wait wait... so.. you take 9 obsidian blocks.. and make them into an obsidian block? Well that makes sense!
I'll make 9 obsidian blocks out of obsidian blocks, and use THOSE obsidian blocks to make even more obsidian blocks!
INCEPTION!!!

For those who have the logic of "9 Obsidian blocks --> Obsidian block? wtf?", you can view it as compressed obsidian. Maybe you should even have to smelt the obsidian into Melted Obsidian, then combine 9 of those to make Compressed Obsidian.

Thank you for understanding what I mean. There really isnt a good word to describe the combined blocks, evertything else the same way is just called a block. lol
