I spent a few hours in the Nether last night. It was amazingly nerve-wracking and even horror game-esque. I had been there before in past versions, but this time I was looking for a nether fortress. Wither skeletons scare the crap out of me and the ghasts and blazes wouldn't leave me alone. I was on the hunt for netherwart, but I was about to give up since I was out of arrows, torches and almost food. It was at this time that I came across a room with eight plants. Amazing luck, but THEN I had to get back to my portal and back to my home. It was a pretty awesome adventure!
