If we would ever have nether on then building in it should be Off, would work as a hunting place for anyone in need of money and wants to take a risk...
Agreed..
JMPanty had a point if we do end up having the nether, it should only be there for hunting and mining, no building. ( we could do this by changing a few settings around and players under the rank of supop can't build in the nether, BUT can kill, and destroy anything that isn't zoned )
At the moment the nether is the only source of:
Netherrack [excluding a level of excavation in MCMMO no-one will ever see]
Nether Brick
Nether Fence
Ghast Tears
Blaze Rods
Soul Sand
Personally, these are all items I feel we can intergrate into the server in other ways...
Indeed...
What is the point of having to option to 'sell' netherrack, if we can't even obtain this type of block?
When we update the map, we'll have all these blocks and interesting gadgets, that we won't be able to use...
...contains the stupidest Mobs of a long list of stupid mobs and serves no purpose at all.
The Nether was invented solely as a means of transportation and it does that terribly.
But,
Howard does have a point, when the 1.9 is introduced we'll have a "long list of stupid mobs". But, that doesn't mean these mobs won't drop anything that isn't of great importance to the game.
Anyway that's just my little speech of boringness... Enjoy your day...
