Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft.
Last time, I tried to link the End portal area to the main village through the Nether. It went badly, and I lost everything in lava. Still, the map I made afterward showed me where I was. That was enough to start over.
A railway through the Nether
I decided to make the journey properly this time: a railway from the village-side Nether gate to the gate near the End portal. A rail line is a little more expensive than walking, but the route is much easier to understand when it is fixed.
I laid regular rails, added powered rails where the track climbed, and lit the way as I went. The path was also enclosed with glass at the sides and stone slabs overhead. In this Minecraft PE-era journey, I wanted a route that felt less exposed to ghasts.
The End portal is no longer so far away
The work took time, but the line gradually became a real route instead of a risky guess through the Nether.
At the far end, the portal near the stronghold was waiting. I could now move between the village and the End portal area without losing my sense of direction.
The End is getting closer. First, I need to prepare properly for what waits there.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
