But it's not what your thinking. You will have a normal skyblock but with a portal with it, once you made a portal at your island it will make a newly generated portal at the nether, with the normal skyblock theme, in a void world with a 3x3x12 grass block, but in this case, soul sand up top and netherrack at bottom. It will be the exact same as skyblock in overworld, but in nether. Zombie Pigman will be enabled because if we can farm gold ingots, they can be sold for other items, useful for building blocks and overall a good thing to have. So yes, bring the nether back! ^_^

Gold farms are way too op you can make 1 that earns like a stack of gold blocks in 30 mins. No support.

 

I dont like that there is no access to the nether, but I don't support for there to be one either. It would completely change everything in some positive ways but mainly negative. Also the gold currency idea is a very bad idea. I can go on and on about how bad it is, but I don't have enough time. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

This sounds cool but I think it may cause server lag. So I can't support.

 

You mean hellblock...

 

Support!
The server should be able to load and unload chunks in the overworld/nether as needed and as such should not create much lag. However the additional pigmen entities may cause lag only while the player is in those chunks.

 

Or we could remove the ability for pigman to spawn with spawners. (same as skyblock now)

50/50 on this
i like the nether.but it could end the server.say someone got 3 wither skulls on wither sekletons secretly
"i can make the wither"
"yay"
*build the wither* *wither destroys all islands*

 

Okay, try to stay on topic here. Thanks.

 

Maybe bring Hellblock back? the nether would cause too much lag imagine like 500 portals going all at one time. Hellblock would be good to bring back though. I had fun with that back in the day.

 

1) Withers can't be made. They've been made and dealt with before because people could get wither skulls and buy soul sand at /warp grass.
2) The gold trade wouldn't be 'ruined;' we used to be allowed to have zombie pigmen in our spawners.

The problem with this is probably the difficulty of making a separate world, as travel in the overworld does not directly translate to travel in the Nether. In addition, zombie pigmen were disabled for a reason and as such would stay disabled, so that point is invalidated. In essence, there is no need for the Nether; we've got everything anyone could want up on the surface.

 

Disable wither skeleton spawners, simple. In fact; I think they're already disabled.

Nether causes too much lag. No support.

 

No support for this. Maybe a separate Hellblock thing, but otherwise a bad plan because of:
1. Lag
2. Possible wither griefing
3. Gold farms would screw up the economy too much

 

Automatic mob spawning would still be turned off though.... o.e
I think the last time it was disabled was the lag accompanied by people going into each others portals and griefing, but that second one is null now, so...
Yeah, lag. That's about it.

 

Yeah, I was just basing my answer off the first post mentioning Zombie Pigmen, but I agree lag would be a bit much.

 

No Support,
With mutiple portals people can travel to others islands. Greifing and looting would be way too common.

 

No Support.
This was suggested before, but there were too many issues.
