Yes, I'm in!

...whoa, that arena is massive. Who on earth built it?!

EDIT: 2 minutes in and I'm dead already

. Was ambushed by a combined arms team of a zombie, skeleton and creeper whilst trying to make my way around a giant chasm.

EDIT2: Are these sheer cliffs stretching down to bedrock just me? I'm thinking it must be because my connection is laggy or something.

I think you mean an unloaded chunk. That is a glitch. Bedrock is never open in nature.

That was a group effort. It was our first 'community' project.

Don't worry Ishmael, I die at least once per game... Mainly because I get angry at the mobs and always stand to fight when I should run, but how dare they invade my new Hall of the Ancients! The least they could do is stay in the booby trapped pit I always try to hit them into...

Okay, there's got to be a better way to do this. I'm trying to set up a nether portal connection to my mine (I'll move it over to my house whenever I end up building it). As it stands it's connecting to spankythehippo's Japanese temple, so according to the wiki I need to construct a new portal at the coordinates of my mine divided by 8. So far, so good. However, to get to this point I have to build a tunnel quite some distance over a giant lava lake several dozen blocks down, whilst being constantly attacked by ghasts. I could build it up until I reached the ceiling, but then it would be on a different level to the rest of the portals which would be aesthetically unpleasant. Is there a simple way of doing this that I've overlooked?

Nope, that's pretty much it. You're just unlucky to have a spot that's over lava. Try using cobblestone if you're having issues creating the tunnel. It's immune to ghast blasts, so you won't need to worry about getting dropped into the lava.
