I really want ghasts to come through nether portals. And no, not rarely. Invasions from Hell should occur more commonly, perhaps one ghast comes out every few days. It really doesn't take much to kill them, just arrows and a bow, and the only terrible enemy you're facing when fighting ghasts is the terrain you're moving around on.
This would force players to make Nether portals be in flatter more open areas, so they seem more important rather than "another door" in their base, and maybe make their nether portal have a casing and door if they wanted. It would actually be a great way to get gunpowder and ghast tears (<-- essential to healing potions).
This way, you can't really just put a leash on the Nether and use the portal to it as you please. :smile.gif: Hell hath no fury like the Nether! Doh ho ho, irony.
sorry, but if only one nether portal was used at a time, that will cause major problems. and remember, a ghast coming out would be like finding a spider jocky. and the other will have a higher (but still rare) chance of coming out.
Only having one portal active would cause problems for people who want to abuse the portal in some way. I only need one portal, if you're using it for transportation in the overworld that's just idiotic. Having one active would relieve more problems than it would cause.
I like the idea and the netherack and stuff creeping out of the portal. But im not so sure about ghasts. They would come in your house. Destroy your chests. All the diamonds lit on fire. etc etc. And if so it would be EXTREMELY rare. like a 0.3% chance.
plus the point is to make a special room for it so its not just stick it anywere you want. you will need to make it out of blast-proof material and who would keep chests with diamonds near it when this happens? (cobble and higher can resist ghast balls)
having passive small ghasts fly around the portal, getting the feel of the nether bebore going in it.
Not passive, nuetral. And they actually blow stuff up. Plus they aren't small, they should be 4 tall and 2 wide (with the bottom 2 movable so that they can squeeze through portals). And why not throw them into the Nether also.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.
Maybe there can be a special portal mob that only comes from portals (this wouldn't stop other mobs from coming) , like a portal ghoul, a purple ghost that teleports like endermen, but can also walk through glass and iron bars. And maybe when a ghast touches water it turns blue and starts acting like a squid, for fun.

Be caring, please help my dragon hatch by giving him a little click.
Notch first was going to make it so that there was a chance a nether monster (ghast) would come through a nether portal on the overworld very rarely, but it never was added. So why not add it now? Think about it, you cant just have the nether portal out in the open or in the middle of your home, you need to put it in a seperate room so that if anything comes out of the portal it wont just wreck havoc on everything. It would be very rarely, and before a monster comes out of the portal the portal blocks would slowing change into a different color of portal block until a monster from the nether comes out. If a ghast is going to come out, for example, the portal will slowly become whiter and whiter until it is pure white (which a ghast is) then a ghast will come out. this prevents people from just leaving a nether portal werever and needs to put up a defence. and if a lava slime or a blaze comes out, if the touch water they would get damaged like an enderman.
ghasts can spawn in the over world only if an are around the portal is 7x5 or just search it on the wiki
I think that the chunk the nether side portal is in and chunks around it in a 2 block radius should always be simulated if the portal it links to is loaded, and mobs should be able to use portals, so monsters can come out of it if, but only if it is possible. Ghasts, as they don't fit, should be able to go through by being at about touching distance. Will not work if there are no portals it links to that have room for a ghast.
And nether monsters should have a slight attraction to portals in the nether if the player is not near.

For the record, blazes do take damage from water. I think rain also kills them

Are youbored of minecraft? It's not the new features. I'll give you a hint:It's the terrain generation. Go play a map generated in 1.7.3 or earlier, then tell me you don't agree.
Maybe ghasts would only spawn if there is enough room, so keeping the portal in a smaller space would prevent ghasts from spawning, but open area portles would.

It was said they would need room to spawn (as in a field), they would not spawn in areas that are too small.

Too cool.
They basically shoot baby creepers for god's sake!

But Blazes would suck!
