safer nether hub

[bngxky]

I know we already have a nether hub and tunnels to places but we could make one on top of the nether, where its all flat. Downside is missing out on the view of the nether.

Go for it.

I don't know if it's that much safer though, and portals won't work properly up there. True, you can build portals just below the upper bedrock, but still not as convenient. Not to mention breaking through the bedrock takes a bit of extra effort.

I think the netherhub is pretty well established for most of us. If you want to make
a rail on top of the nether, I dont believe anyone will mind, provided it does not interfere with
any projects.

Mobs won't spawn on bedrock, but as soon as you start putting non-transparent blocks up there you'll get pigmen and ghasts. Just keep that in mind. You'll want to make sure things are covered in glass and/or slabs. And as Inner said, kind-of a pain punching through bedrock and portals won't connect properly up there. You can get off the top, but not back up through portals.

My pigman farm is designed to stop pigmen from spawning where they shouldn't be and not provide enough room for ghasts. Even still, during construction I had a few ghast spawns.

Really, I think what we have works.

I have no problem with somebody building a station of their own up there, but please do NOT put new portals up there above the current hub. That will potentially mess with the linkage of other careful set things around the spawn area. I'm not sure what's unsafe about the current hub, honestly - I've never had any trouble there except the occasional agro pig man, which can happen in any place at any time.

This is my concern as well, please don't build directly above the existing portals. This will create problems.
