The most useful part of the Nether in my opinion is that you so easily can access far away settlements in the normal world. Stuff that took 5 minutes to access from spawn by train now takes 1 minute of walking, including the actual portal transports.

Not to mention it takes a lot less room and is a lot easier to build than a rail network

But what is the point of something that doesn't involve a rail network? I am confused!!

True...

What would life be without a complicated rail network?

I still need to work out where the hell my nether base is in relation to spawn,

Just press F3 in your nether base, check what the values of x and z is. Multiply them by 8 and locate the multiplicated position in the normal world. "Below" that point is where your nether base is.

give or take a lot

The Nether spawn for Survival is right next to the 0,0 gate, so if you want to go "quickly" to spawn, make a gate to the nether, make a tunnel/path to the 0,0 gate then use it. Of course, if you end up coming through the 0,0 gate, then your problem is solved very quickly.... but for the moment, it is one directional. Of course, you can just go /spawn whilst in the Nether and you will instantly transport to the Nether spawn.

Can you run a cart through a nether portal?

DarkDuck · 27th June 2011, 07:00 PM

yes but it will not port, you need to pause in the portal.

Thanks Daed this will help me build a tunnedl to normal spawn too.
