Lava travels so fast in 1.5. It's almost killed me many, many times while I was exploring. And now there are random blocks of lava within harmless looking Netherrack. DAMN YOU LAVA! DAMN YOU!

Yeah, lava almost got me a couple times as well during mining. All in all, the nether in general is a far more hazardous place than it used to be.

Flows like water, yet there is none to extinguish it.

Died at lvl 20 when the first nether rack hidden deposit got me.

I've been burnt about 3 times since. So now I carry minimal equipment when mining and prepare to run when hit by a spurt. I'm mass producing nether bricks with the help of a double hopper setup... I still manually empty it for the XP :)

I've developed a system to prevent dying by lava in the Nether. Just equip Ender Pearls to your first slot in your hotbar. If you fall, or are engulfed by lava, you can quickly press 1 then right-click. I've died by burning, but my items were dropped at my house. Saved me several stacks of glowstone.

Don't have the pearls... but why don't you just put a pond of water at your house?... fall damage will be minimised and the flames will be doused.

I have a massive pool at my house. I was talking about mining in the Nether. Water evaporates in the Nether, so the Ender Pearls are the way to go.

Sigurd made a kick-ass Ender farm. It's at the first stronghold End Portal.

Hell. I should have thought of that.

There is also a chest full of Ender Pearls at the Noob Hotel now.
I always try to keep one in my pocket, when exploring. It is just so comforting to know that I can teleport home if I should get myself stuck in a corner of some sort.

About the new stuff, like the comparator: Gosh, I had not realized that this game was designed for electronics engineers as their main target group. Well, I will learn it one day.
