Yup. I don't mind the hell based trees. Especially if the grow upside down or offer evil apples. But hell bark trees suck. Overworld dirt should not be in the nether at all. It doesn't fit. The weird thing is that if you plant hellbark trees in the Overworld, they replace the dirt block with netherack once you chop it down. Weird.
Nether too hostile now?

Especially when there's creeper spawners... that spawned next to a lava lake.. and the only avenue in is a 1 block wide with lava on one side and wall on the other
that terrain generation was nasty... >.>
Yeah I think out of everything the Zombie Pigmen are the worst, I am always accidentally mining the nether ore and then its a fight for my life to get back home.
The nether is SUPPOSE to be Hell. It SHOULD be hard as Hell. In fact, I still think it isn't hard enough. They need to add machine gun ghasts or something to make it hard.
Netherwart can be found everywhere no so you can get it without even locating a fortress.
I think the Natura nether is fantastic. There shouldn't be dirt there though, that makes no sense.
I hate tainted soil for one reason... Mining. With the addition of quartz, mining the nether in vanilla, let alone modded MC is a necessity in server play. Add in nether ores (plus uber TiCo tools) and branch mining the nether becomes ridiculously profitable.Not even Tainted Soil?
The advantage of mining in the nether has always been that you don't need a shovel. That may seem like a petty complaint, but besides surface gravel or slow sand, who really brings a shovel into the Nether? Tainted soil is also less useful than netherack. And there's SO much of it. It really slows down excavation.
Now I also need a shovel in the nether. Meh. Minor complaints, maybe. But I hate dirt in the nether
I never leave the house without a shovel. Heck, I never loaf around the house without a shovel. Rule #2 of Minecraft with me is "Always Know Where Your Shovel Is."
Question: does a Magnum Torch/Chandelier work against Ghasts, Zombie Pigmen, and Blazes? Might be worth making a few to put around my Nether Portal if that's the case.
As opposed to what? Rare, precious Netherrack?
Not rare but precious Netherrack I use to power my quarry
LOL. Well I admit that.I never leave the house without a shovel. Heck, I never loaf around the house without a shovel. Rule #2 of Minecraft with me is "Always Know Where Your Shovel Is."
Rather who expects to use their shovel while mining in the nether? I don't like the dirt but TiCo & Thaumcraft make it easier to deal with. But I don't have to like it!
