I usually just dig straight down to block level 15 and start strip mining with three blocks in between each 2x2 tunnel and I make 10 tunnels. Then I go back to where I built the ladder down and keep digging down to block level 5 and do the same thing. And just to make sure I don't get lost I always put torches on the left side so when I'm trying to find the exit I just keep the torches on the right and always end up in the right place! This usually gets me lots of ores of all the types I need including: diamonds (to make armor and tools), lapis lazuli (to enchant my diamond armor and tools), coal (for torches and to power my furnace), and iron (because you can never have enough iron! especially when there is so much you can make with it). Of course I can find redstone and gold too but I never use them. But if I want emeralds I do the same thing in an Extreme Hills biome. And if I want Nether Quartz ore then I just go to the Nether and look around a little bit and usually find some on the surface without having to dig down at all! So that's how I mine... but I'm sure other people have stuff they do that they think is better than this way...

Nobody goes to the Nether just to kill Zombie Pigmen because even with Enchanted diamond armor a horde of ZP's will kill someone in less than a minute. Most people go to the Nether to kill Ghasts, Blazes, and Wither Skeletons. I don't think Notch is hiding any interesting secrets beneath the lava but you could go into creative and find out... What you will find is most likely just bedrock though.

I think this is a very good idea! I agree that villages need a new structure you can loot instead of just blacksmiths. Support!

Yeah I guess that would be better but rather than have Nether Brick Fence Gates and Iron fences and fence gates I thought you could only add one item (the Iron Fence Gate) to pair up with the Nether Brick Fence. That would be easier than adding 3 items and I think the bright white of the Iron Fence Gates would match better with the darkness of the Nether Brick Fences.

Well that's why I was talking about pairing the Iron Fence Gates with Netherbrick Fences instead of Iron Bars... But if you read the post you would know that

I assume you meant 1.9 because it is The Combat Update...

I'm not giving them away for free!!!! That would be sooooooo stupid!!!! You have to craft a brewing stand or furnace and put it in the slot (where you don't get it back) before you get the portable version.

How am I cutting off exploration and fun!?

Well it wouldn't really be that much faster than the normal one. Only by like 3 seconds so you don't have to wait as long. But I guess if you would be okay with waiting even longer than the regular brewing stand and furnace just so it's not as OP then I will change it specifically for you and give you credit.

Because I want the Brewing Stand and the Furnace to be faster than the original so you don't have to keep waiting then maybe because it goes faster than the regular furnace the fuel runs out faster like you said. Once you smelt 100 items you will have to put another furnace into the slot to get it back.

Yeah that might be better than having it just randomly appear but all of them would still need some kind of thing so you would still use the original item, rather than the portable one, if you had one or the materials to craft one.

Yeah I was thinking that there could be a different screen with all the GUIs. Maybe only the crafting grid is in your inventory then to bring up the other ones you press the 'G' key. I was thinking about also adding anvils, enchanting tables, furnaces, and more but I couldn't think of a way to make them like the crafting grid where you still need the actual item for the full abilities of it but you get a portable one with less abilities. So if you think of a way I can make the other things have less abilities I will add portable versions of them to the suggestion as well.

I tried to make it so people would still use a brewing stand kind of like how you still need a crafting table even though you have the crafting grid. I think there should be something like durability although I can't really do that because it wouldn't really be an item that you craft. You would craft a regular brewing stand and get a portable one in your inventory along with the crafting grid. Although maybe for every 3 potions you brew it gets slower and slower until it's so slow you just have to do something to make it speed up again... Suggestions for what that thing is are recommended .

I was thinking about how many things you can actually craft in the Crafting Grid (it might not seem like a lot but there actually is) and I thought it would be cool if there were other portable GUIs in your inventory! Also to avoid taking up too much space in your inventory only the Crafting Grid will stay in your inventory and to bring up all the others you press the 'G' key while in your inventory. At first it will be blank but it will have slots that you put items in to get a portable version of it on this screen. The items get taken away to give you the portable version. When it runs out put another one into the slot and it will come back with full durability.
Portable Brewing Stand:
The first idea I thought of was to make a portable Brewing Stand! Similar how the crafting grid is smaller than the Crafting Table causing you to be able to craft less stuff you would only be able to brew one potion at a time. If you close your inventory the potion and ingredients will be thrown on the ground and you have to restart it brewing. For every 3 potions you brew it looses some durability until it runs out and you have to put a new brewing stand in the slot.
Portable Furnace:
Once you smelt/cook 100 items you need to put a new Furnace into the slot and then you can smelt 100 more and so on. If you close your inventory it will also throw out the items so you have to go pick them up and start it smelting/cooking again.
Portable Enchanting Table:
You would put in the object you want to enchant and then you put in 4 pieces of Lapis Lazuli to get a level one enchantment and 7 pieces of Lapis Lazuli for a level 2 enchantment. Level 3 enchantments are not available from the portable enchanting table. It will also take more XP for each enchantment. After enchanting 10 items the durability runs out so you will have to put a new enchanting table in the slot to get another one.
There are pictures in the attachments. If you have any ideas on how I can include other GUIs please tell me in the comments.

What are you talking about? The whole reason they made Ruby Ore look like Emerald Ore but red is so it WOULDN'T get confused with Redstone even though they are both the same color!

What do you mean "unrealistic"!? It's Minecraft!! So what if in real life diamonds are harder than ruby!? If Minecraft was actually realistic I'm sure the whole game would be a lot different! And not in a good way!
