Nether Portals

[Kotic]

I think it would be more beneficial to let players build nether portals. It expands the area of Nether that can be explored quicker. Bases can be at risk if they dont protect their nether room (Because of the random variable of coming back out into the above through a different portal).



This will also increase pvp as bases can be found through mathmatics. I don't remember the exact info, but moving through the nether is like moving above ground 5 times as fast. so at about 1000 blocks in the nether from where you started you would hit the 5000 border?. You can find bases on the nether map and estimate the area of their above base on the map or you could just walk through their portal if it isnt claimed or blocked off.



I support Public Nether portals.

Known exploits with nether portals in SMP. They may or may not have been fixed. Also reasons.

I like Kotics idea

Nether portals can be used to duplicate items. I think that the Admins made the right decision.



If you don't believe me, look it up on YouTube.

I've looked it up before and it's true they can make one item in to a "creative-mode" unlimited stack...

The StarGate/Nether portal is in spawn for a reason. Its mostly for the fact that it players could build nether portals, there would be portals all over the nether. Even if each portal built by a player linked to the one portal that's the I.e for the one in spawn, it would be a tedious proccess to have them linked and want not, and players having portals all over the place. Back in 1.8 people could pay 5,000 coins to buy a StarGate in there home, but that was shot very quickly.



I'm just saying, it has been done and it was a tedious process for admins to coordinate a nether portal in you faction home.

There will be a nether portal in spawn as soon as MultiVerse is updated. As for being able to create them yourself, there is the issue of portalling into other peoples bases from the nether, or nether portals being linked because they are too close, etc etc. It can't feasibly happen.

Its a factions own fault if they dont box off their portal in its own room.

And if the portal doesn't already exist

And if the portal doesn't already exist

This risk being raided from the nether, but if the faction is active enough its not hard to just destroy the portal that might happen to spawn in their base by destroying one of its blocks.



Keep blocks on your chests and they cant loot anything while your offline

Or how about we stick to the one when the plugin is updated

I do see Kotic's point. It makes sense to have your nether portal in a secure room. On the other hand having portals everywhere would suck pretty bad. Public warzone nether portal!

Public warzone nether portal!

I must admit, the nether portal being located in a warzone instead of the safezone is an interesting idea. Though, I could think of a few problems with it.

List them and we can refine the idea

 

[erskew]

This is what I could immediately think of:

1) Depending on the location and what is created around the portal, a faction could easily go and block off everyone else from using the portal.

2) Possible spawn camping on the other side of the portal, if the Nether part of it remains a warzone.

Have it similar to Mad Mocker's melon room. You jump in. It's inside warzone. You have to either parkour out or go to the nether.
