I doubt you will have time. I imagine that the moment the nether opens up, every large realm is going to be organizing teams to strip mine the whole place as fast as possible. There won't be any glowstone left after 48 hours have passed anywhere in the nether.

Well that depends entirely on how big Intelli sets the nether to be , which at the moment would just be 375x375 (very small area).

so 48 hours seems very probable, if Notch does not resolve the issue of world construction then Intelli will be forced to increase the size of the surface world to increase the nether OR have some kind of teleportation straight back to spawn if you build a gate that leads to outside the surface world.

Like i said, large realms. You could have teams of 5 with 4 mining and 1 watching for ghast to bounce their fireballs off(you can still bounce ghast fireballs, right?). Get a couple of those teams going and you can level the whole place.

Also, I would assume that the nether would be larger than 375x, and if you made a portal beyond the edge of the read world border and stepped through it would simply fling you back inside the borders just like any other way of sneaking across.

And as for 48 hours, for the glowstone it would only take that long, but stripping all of the soul sand and stealing all the lava might take another couple of days.

Yes bouncing does still work.

We will have to wait on intelli for the size of the nether.

Why would people take lava?

Greifing/lights/structures

But lava is common in the surface world already anyway.

If the Nether comes out I'm getting all the glowstone dust and jumping in the lava. :twisted:

And what about world borders? someone could get 7*3,000=21,000 blocks outside the border, and this results in that part of the world being generated, a huge pain for the server to store.
maybe the border could be 375 out??? nah, the whole nether would be microscopic, maybe portals couldn't function normally outside the earth's border, you go out, you just appear at spawn.

I would suggest that portals corresponding to an earth realm should check weather it would be legal for them to be built by that person in that realm.
(so a portal at nether equivalent of terranobyl would check weather a portal is allowed to be lit in terranobyl by that person, if not, the fire would fail to light the portal.
or maybe just a toggle like explosions, pvp and buckets and such, by toggling on, it would allow ALL incoming portals to be built and work, by toggling off, it would disable incoming portals completely.
maybe you could have three settings, off, enter, and build, if that is possible.
