Question

Will the portal always take me to the bunker?

TomPN

Top Answerer

Yes, as long as you build the portals in the same locations in the Nether and Overworld. There are plenty of online tutorials about nether portal mechanics -- I suggest you look some of them up for further help.

Question

Do I make a staircase to go up from the bunker, or do I use a ladder?

TomPN

Top Answerer

Either, it's your choice. Remember that the part where you are climbing up and down between the portals is in the Nether, so plan accordingly.

Question

What if lava blocks me from getting to the other nether portal and I am on survival?

TomPN

Top Answerer

1) Dig a tunnel around it. 2) Use a bucket to scoop it up, and use it later. 3) Place a block in the same space as the lava and this will remove the lava block.

Question

What if I am scared to go in the nether?

Community Answer

Simply make a ladder at the top, make an iron door and a way for it to open and cover the entrance with a roof.

Question

What if mobs spawn in your bunker?

Xiao Po

Community Answer

Try to kill the mobs. Give the bunker a bit more lighting. Use sea lanterns, glowstone, or the simple torch.

Question

What if the invaders have a tool that can destroy obsidian?

Lucas D.

Community Answer

If in creative, add bedrock. If in survival, add some traps like fire charges, arrows, potions, lava and many more traps if you want.

Question

How can you lock the nether portal?

Xiao Po

Community Answer

You could lock your nether portal by destroying the obsidian block that is used to light up the portal after going inside to the bunker (otherwise it could end badly).

Question

Are there ways to make a less resource heavy way to get out of the bunker as it is hard to get obsidian in my server?

Xiao Po

Community Answer

You could use some redstone mechanics to make a secret bunker. For example, make a complex piston door right on a nearby mountain or make a cake redstone system. Fun fact: cakes could trigger redstone!

Question

Can I make a mob-proof base by digging down to bedrock and making my base a warden cabin?

AARON WANG

Community Answer

A warden can kill you two hits with full netherite, which is a bad place to build a mob proof base.
