Yeah, this might as well be stickied for the time being; there is a ton of misinformation out there, even among my own players.
Thank you very much, MrTorus. This is a really useful resource.
You will be able to build things in Hell, up to a certain distance. If you go too far, you can't build or use the portals. While open to interpretation, this seems to imply that Hell will work for portals and building only as long as their relative position in the normal world doesn't exceed the maximum technical boundaries of Minecraft's world, and not necessarily the boundaries of what you have explored.
I don't know about this.
KridOCaign @notch Will we be able to build things in hell? Also, what happens if somebody goes far enough in hell that they'd land outside the map?
notch @KridOCaign Yes, you can build. If you go too far, you can't build or use portals.
I don't think he means that you can't build after a certain distance. I think he means that you can't build portals, or use them. This also implies that we will be able to build portals somehow. This may have been what you meant when you said that this was up to interpretation, but it seems like the more reasonable thing to believe.
It just makes sense. Why wouldn't we be able to build past a certain point in hell? I can see why we can't build portals, but not being able to place blocks? That just doesn't sound likely to me. Someone should get some clarification from Notch about this.

Yeah, that's my point: it's ambiguous. It can mean "you can't build structures or use portals" or "you can't build portals or use portals." I'll rewrite that part to make it even more clear.

Yeah, it makes sense. I'm a little uneasy about the vagueness of it. The thing is, he did say he hasn't decided yet if portals will be craftable or found on the map.
I did ask for clarification on Twitter, but I'm unlikely to get an answer. If I catch him active and posting, I'll be sure to post it again.
I am pretty sure that that is more words then I have typed in one year.
That is pretty cool. The only thing I dislike is killing wolves. I like wolves and dogs and that sort. I would hate to have to kill one, even for fake, even werewolves. But I will try to not fight them and try to tame them. (Who knows, I might have a canine army!)
I think all this stuff is awesome!I thought it would be a fun thing to play with big ships.
Sorry Torus for the too big of a list thing. fixed it.

Light travels faster than sound, thats why people seem bright until you hear them speak.
Well this is just me but... Water moats are so wet and dirty and annoying.... Real men make moats of liquid hellfire forged in the bowels of the earth and torn from the teat of the unholy adminium. Real MANLY Men create a LAVAFALL of death.
Thank you very much, MrTorus. This is a really useful resource.

Awesome thread, by the way.
