Portals

[Lazybones]

Starting to sound like lots of work...

I was just planning on leveling out the portals, aligning them better with the overworld where needed and maybe creating a cobble stone generator to line the halls because nether rack is the only block worse to look at than cobble.

Nether brick?

Actually it sounded like lots of work right from the start   Levelling out is fine, I'm just wondering what y-coord you're going to settle on in case I finally get my butt into the Nether and want to help out.

Although I do maintain that a backbone east-west and north-south corridor going through 0,0 would help.  But maybe I'll just have to put up or shut up

Hey, so, on those blocks do you see the L?

I realize that. I was suggesting you could make nether brick rather than import a bunch of stuff. and it looks better than cobble IMO.

"Nether Bricks are a type of block used to form generated structures in The Nether, making up a majority of Nether fortresses, forming their walls and supporting pillars. Nether Brick does not generate anywhere else in the nether. Currently, the player cannot craft Nether Brick. "

'cept that's non-renewable whereas the cobble is renewable, so easier to generate, no?

lol

Lazy beat me to it

Cobble's pretty ugly, too.  Maybe we need to employ Melbosa Heavy Manufacturing and Lucky Charm's Refining to smelt a bunch of cobble into smooth stone.

[Lazybones]

A smooth stone generator and a silk touch pick to make stone brick would be efficient however.

[Thorin]

Heh, maybe I need to spend some time xp grinding and making a silk touch diamond pickaxe.  I'm finally at a point where I can do stuff like that.

Of course, with that tree farm going it might be just as easy to smelt cobblestone into smooth stone.

Mining a smooth stone generator with silk touch would save two steps assuming you don't already have cobblestone and harvested fuel .

[Thorin]

Err, I have 45-50 stacks of cobble and 40+ stacks of coal   When I couldn't think of what to do, I just went mining.

The way you replied the last couple times seemed snippy.

Maybe I'm the negative one, but it seemed a bit condescending. I may be slow sometimes, but I'm not that slow
