Yesterday I adventured on an island I travelled to and found out that the whole island is just a series of underground caves and in the deepest part there are tonnes of phat loot I found my first gold and diamonds in the last cavern. I got completely lost because I forgot to signpost the exit so I resorted to digging a tunnel straight up, I ended up in the sea but I managed to survive. I just wanted to see if anyone else has found something like this because the island is very wierd (there was only one tree on the whole island).
Why mine the obsidian when you can make it exactly where you need it? YouTube - Minecraft Making Obsidian (Updated Version)
Dont worry I have the same feeling, I just started a new level and work my way to it. I won't cheat to get the stuff I need just to quickly get to the nether. That would be rather boring imo.
So... I just found out how glitchy Minecraft SMP is with the new update installed on my server when I found this... That would be the hell world spawning above ground and 2 separate occasions when I created a new map... Fail ain't it?
How not to run out of obsidian: Bring a single bucket of water to hell. Put out some lava. Recollect water. Pick up obsidian. Profit. Also, there IS a bedrock layer at the top of the nether.
lol I'll try it! thanks There should be another way in... not just through gates plus, how am i going to "make" obsidian in the nether if i can't place water? .......or so i thought Edit: -minecraftwiki ...guess i'll just have to try it
Wait, does that mean you could actually build a portal without placing any obsidian blocks? Because that would be awsome. I've found out that Ghasts and Zombie pigmen don't spawn on peaceful mode =[. Idea: Because you can use teleporters for fast travel, the risk is that you're exposed in the nether so why not build tunnels linking the portals in hell so that there's no risk?
That was my idea, however when I tried it, the nether deleted my world except for my inventory; so now I am on top of a mountain, with two diamond pick axes.
Are you sure you did it right? You place one portal at one place in normal land, place the next portal the place you want to travel to (still in normal land), then enter one of the portals into the nether and locate the other portal (Nether version) and build a tunnel between them. It sounds like what you did is built one portal in normal land, used this to enter the nether then walked through the nether for a bit and built another portal that then took you to that normal land location (the mountain).
Nope, the first portal spawned me in a cave, which I tried to escape for about 10 minutes, then I turned around to get out, and my save got deleted.
Minecraft hell is amazing. Makes me so glad that I bought this game. Updates for free are pretty sweet.
That just happened to my friend, except he still has the files for the world and when he made a new world over that file, it spawned him somewhere else in his save. Also, going through a Nether portal in full screen mode crashes his game.
I have a question about the nether portals. I made one portal in my base where i wanted to go back and forth from will all my obsidian i had but then i made it went in worked perfect so far(except spawned me underground in a cave lol) but then i went back though the gate to go back into my base then it sent me into anther cave in proper world :S where a portal i didn't build is, then going though portal just sends me back and forth though caves (in nether and in proper land). I didn't build this 3rd portal and when i destroy it(the one in real world in cave), it just comes back :S??? So the portal in my base sends me into nether but is a one way trip to the "connected" cave portals :S? explain? how do i fix it lol Really annoying. :l
I was wondering about that. Egnighting the obsidian portal that you made made the game confused and it made a 3rd "Natural" portal in the real world, and made the nether one match up with the natural portal. So basically, in halo terms, you had a sender node (Portal you made) and Two two-way nodes, One in real world, and one in the slip-space. and they are all on the same channel. Best bet: Dig.
