Necropolis

As the nether is (supposedly) now functional, I will be setting up a portal to the realm. It seems we could use a town/outpost there from which to launch expeditions. I will therefore attempt to establish a town within the nether realm. "Necropolis" will be a town of the dark theme. I WILL need a good location within the standard world to establish a portal to the town (suggestions?). I will delay the founding untill the nuances of the new addition are discovered and examined. (1:8 travel ratio maintained?) and exploration of the realm will begin immediately.

Materials required for production will be needed, trade in unique netherblocks can be arranged. Expecting a inital need for Obsidian, I have a moderate supply of netherrock on hand for trade. Please note that any fireplaces have likely burned out as I believe logs no longer burn indefinately. Netherrock will serve as a replacement for infinate burn blocks. Anyone interested in owning a home in a nether city, I need to know approximately how much space will be needed for a residential district, but dont expect a town capable of supporting homes to be completed quickly by MY hands, as I prefer things done RIGHT as opposed to QUICKLY.

I have to note:
All these 'fixes' are because its 'fixed' by the bukkit mod.
notch himself didnt fix it yet, so for how good it can work i don't know.
the fixes im talking about:
- Nether
- Logs dont burn indefinitely

Alright. For now, it seems only mods and better can use portals :(
so even longer delay. Dont expect this town to be move in ready for quite awhile. I wont even START construction untill the nether is stabilized and properly functional even if I do have access to it.

lulz man up i made ctown in a week mainly by my hands... of course that was no skwl and 24/7 minecrafting and mining but still. also i would like a house but i would just make a bunch of extra houses in case, uve seen ctown have to expand over and over. however i will help u with necropolis when the nether is finished as long as u make a safe way to and from there make the town secure.

Hey, if anyone knows if the Nether still has the 8:1 ratio of distance to the real world? If so we could have a situation where our rail would be much more effective built in the Nether. Think of it, the glass rail tracks, simply in the nether, and it would be 8x faster :D

And please, don't make a portal on the nether side because when you exit on the other side you will be FAR FAR away from any inhabited place and u will make the worldmap go crazy.
(it generates a HUGE picture with alot of white in it and on the edge the couple of chunks you generated)

i know it would seem cool to be extremely far away but just dont do it, it breaks shit and ill have to get out my map editor again :)

so if I build the return portal exactly where my portal inserts me, it will not return me to my portal location?

Also why will /home make me shit brix?

Because you will get totally lost in the nether and when you would make a portal back to the real mc world, you would be like 1000 lightyears away from the spawn. (remember 1 block in the nether is 8 blocks in real mc)

I've only been to the Nether on single player but I'm pretty sure there is already a return portal in the nether where your portal inserted you Pest. I think the one portal is reflected in both places so you don't have to build two.

It is Jakal. All Max is trying to say is he does not want you traveling long distances while in the nether, then making a portal back to the other side, as this can cause issues with the map.

even with my new mod status, I'm still unable to use my portal. Perhapse Minecraft will fix the nether for MP officialy.
