Ok. I want to put together a system that allows normal bed usage when multiple players are in the world, instead of forcing all players to "go to bed" at night.
I had a 142mb map that was griefed like crazy by my nephew's friends. Afterwards nobody could log on and I ended up being able to log in for a few seconds at lowest render distance and saw the carnage. I ended up deleting it and starting a new map with the same seed.
...yeah, I went to great lengths to prep for this, lots of research about putting together a basic "nether survival kit" and did a bit of research on enemies of the Nether also - That's why I was so surprised when they tore me to shreds - I hadn't hit one in at least 10 hours of gameplay - likely closer to 20 as I said in the OP.
So, my idea is to make a 15 minute trek to the nearest village and build another small portal in the chapel (hehe oh, the sacrilege) and hopefully not die by the hand of more rabid pigmen while I make my way back to the bigger portal...
But that will be After I breed and murder an insane amount of cows for leather and food, then get to enchanting some goodies for the quest.
Sorting all these resources would be so much easier if we had access to all of the Redstone components...
...okay, it's 3:30am (nearly) and I'm rambling... Off to bed... Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions for the z-pig problem... TNT?
I'll preface this little story by saying: I'm fresh into the Minecraft Foray, only have been playing since 0.11.0.
I'm a N00b, and I'm terrified of the Nether.
The allure of the Nether's resources was strong but I never dared enter... but it nagged me in the back of my mind, so I decided to prep for the Journey while mining for resources to continue building up my base.
I built an 11x5 portal into one wall down in the basement/storage/crafting area of my hideout...
I went all out - closed it off with an Iron Door, framed in the door with Iron Blocks, closed off the rest of the portal with Iron Bars.
I've heard of - and recently witnessed - Z-Pigs jumping through the portal on their own, so I caged in the portal, then tied the Door to a lever through a redstone circuit built below the floor. Very chic.
I then put signs on either side of the lever, reading "WARNING: NETHER TRAVEL IS HAZARDOUS TO THE HEALTH!" and another sign on the opposite side reading "BEWARE: PREPARE OR SUFFER!!!"
I set up a dedicated "Nether Gear" chest and put together a set of Iron armor, Iron sword, a Bow and stack of Arrows, an Enchanted golden apple for fire resistance (Gold is HARD to come by on this seed... akin to Diamonds in rarity.), Food, cobble to make a shelter and 2 chests to store the spoils of the Nether, Obsidian and Flint&Steel just in case I needed an emergency exit...
I'll have to post a picture, it's pretty cool looking.
I donned my new armor and stuffed my inventory... pulled the lever... took a breath, and shakily took my first step through the portal.... right into a herd of lord-knows-how-many Z-pigs...
I was instantly killed...and I didn't even aggro them.
Oh, wait, yeah I remember now... Before I completed caging in the Portal, a A-Pig came through riding a Chicken.
I sent it back to the pit from whence it came with my sword... but this was over a month and scores of gameplay hours ago.
(QUESTION: Would Z-Pgs hold their aggro for that long, even though I never entered the Nether before this?)
I immediately re-spawned in my bed, rushed to my spare armor and weapons then charged back through the portal...
I died again before I could swing my sword.
There's just so many of them beyond the portal...
A second attempt to avenge myself. Naked. Desperate to get back the items and what little experience I could gather after hitting almost level 40 from mining, smelting, breeding animals in my farms...
This time I made it past the Z-Pigs.... Only to plummet into the sea of Lava below.
Apparently what has happened is, the portal apparently popped up in the open air above lava in the Nether and therefore the ground only extends 2-3 blocks out from the portal...
So this horde of Z-Pigs, aggro'd from my mistake over a month ago, steadily spawned and amassed enormous numbers on the nether-side of the Portal... Waiting, bloodthirsty, scheming, pawing impatiently at the ground for my curiosity to finally push me through the Portal, despite my better judgement...
When I respawned this time, I decided to shut the gate and go mining, hanging my head in shame.
However, when I entered the portal area, to my suprise and utter horror, about 20 members of the horde were behind the iron bars, waiting for me. A Baby Z-Pig made it out of the Iron door before I could close it. I was naked, so I ended up beating it to death bare handed. Once it fell, I threw the lever and grabbed a couple stone swords - I was getting my revenge!
Throwing the Lever once more, I funneled the undead swine through the Doorway and cut them down. When the swords broke, I didn't stop. I tore them limb from limb with the fury of a Bruce Lee 1-finger push-up.
Once the fiends were dispatched, I threw the lever one last time and destroyed it. Kill me all you want on your turf, but by George... You come into my house, you taste my fury!
I guess I'll have to make a portal elsewhere and try to find the original, cleanse the scourge from it and build an enclosure to keep this from happening again.... unless extinguishing the portal will stop them from "seeing" me and their aggro will drop.
Servers that actually work, not this pocketmine crap - I want mobs and the ability to actually play the game with people in a persistent world I can host from my private server for free.

Is this simpler than it sounds?

Wrong forum bud. This here is the Minecraft Pocket edition mod/tool forum.
You're looking for the Minecraft mod forum.
What you're looking to do is take PC edition and give it a PE crafting interface. Good luck.

Sounds awesome. ElfinZeal is my GT. Gimmie a hollar. I'm 29 and a jack of all trades when it comes to MCPE.

Try lowering the render distance, might help.
I had a 142mb map that was griefed like crazy by my nephew's friends. Afterwards nobody could log on and I ended up being able to log in for a few seconds at lowest render distance and saw the carnage. I ended up deleting it and starting a new map with the same seed.

No hoppers/competitors/dispensers/droppers?
Aw shucks...

Is this compatible with pocketpower 2.0 for 0.12.1?

The only things missing are hoppers, dispensers, droplets and comparitors...
Hmmm... How to build an automated chicken farm...
