Is having access to a "vanilla" nether like this normal? I would assume the nether should form some similar kind of skyblock? Otherwise this is hella OP
So this is normal, but i should be afraid.... very afraid....?See if you still call it OP after meeting some hellfish. The horror stories alone make me not want to build a portal.
NEI shows nothing to do with Hellfish, and after wandering around the nether for a while now i havent seen a single mob that might resemble one. Are you sure about them?Judging by the minimap pictures I've seen, yes. If you think I'm not serious, try running a quarry in the nether.

Foolish...NEI shows nothing to do with Hellfish, and after wandering around the nether for a while now i havent seen a single mob that might resemble one. Are you sure about them?
Don't see much of a need to go in the nether at all when ...
You can create a MFR tree farm, take the sludge from it and run it into a sludge boiler, from which you get netherrack, soul sand, heat sand and tainted soil. Combine the heat sand and tainted soil to get more soul sand. Sieveing soul sand so far has given me nether quartz, nether wart, ghast tears, various Natura stuff like saplings, berry bushes and glowshrooms.
So as long as i don't mine in the nether, or attack the hellfish, i should be ok?Well, as long as you dont start mining in the nether you should be good, so finding nether wart is not really that difficult, the problem comes with the quartz.. thats when you are in serious shit
Once you learn how things work in the Nether you can mine it with no issues. Seems more efficient from an energy perspective than running a laser drill.
Thaumcraft has a block or two that are helpful for dealing with hellfish.
Well, I would think the paved stone of warding would help give you safe zones and pathways within the netherWhat you mean? Which blocks? (besides the wand of equivalent exchange )
