Well, I'm not going to hide this from you guys:
The update to 1.8 has fucked us over. Royally.
For example, the Nether Portals now transport one to another, entirely different chunk of the Nether, rendering our efforts at the fortress useless. Even worse, ALL of our portals in the Mount Cock region (And as far away as Black Mesa) Lead to the SAME DAM PORTAL IN THE NETHER.
So far, I have worked to build a fortress in the Nether to give our new expeditions into the Nether a staging point. While I have poured my skill in this, the main focal point of the base is the giant tower, as it will contain a giant fucking staircase and introduce a MUCH more safe and quick route in this area?
Why a tower?
Perhaps you should ask the 100 block fall alllllll they way to the paper thin Netherrack plate just above a sea of lava (which is, at this point in time, being fortified just like the last fort Azz and I built).

Have you tested my base?
