Vlad, is it your place in the Nether at (640, 120)? I love the three-portal arrangement. And the place looks like it will be massive when it's done.

Also, the village is nice too

Thank you. I wanted to build something more elaborate and mined a lot of obsidian but the space the portal spawned into seems to fit a more conservative design.

The third village is my most modern but needs more villagers. Feel free to trade at any of them.

Right, I'm about to spawn the Wither. TinCow, I apologise in advance if I blow up your place.

EDIT: Well, that went more smoothly than I had feared. I've fixed the damage to the floor as best as I could TinCow, but part of the ladder will need replacing (I didn't have any wood on me).

That's fine, the ladder always needs replacing. I'm going to do some more work on that thing now anyway to add some more damage control into it.

Oh my gosh, what happened to @therother 's volcano

Should we be worried ?!?

@Ishmael, which nether fortress did you hang out in to gather your skulls? I spent a while in the one on the road to my place but saw almost no spawns at all, and zero wither skeletons. I'm hoping there's one that's got a better spawn rate.

I don't know what a "good" spawn rate is but they seem fairly common in my neck of the Nether. And that's not just a ploy to get people to trade in my villages.

I believe it was the one at (51, 127), although it's a little tricky determining it from the map. To get there I took the path south from the central portal until the junction with a crafting table, at which point I took the path with stone railings. Once that was about to enter a tunnel I headed off the path directly to my left, and dropped down into the fortress via an exposed section there.

After wandering around for a while I found a room with a lava 'well' (lava enclosed by nether brick), and I found patrolling that floor was the most efficient. I'd say I had an average of around one wither skeleton a minute, although that would be skewed somewhat by them often spawning 2+ at a time (and that's not to mention the ridiculous number of blazes...).

I could've been hallucinating, but I remember seeing Wither Skeletons in the fortress near my place. It's where the blaze spawner was, if that helps, which is near the intersection to Vlad's place.
