I worked a little bit on what my plans are for the nether hub. I threw together a few different schemes that may be nice. Feel free to say if you don't like them and tell me which one you like the best. I believe the circle is 52 blocks in diameter, which is more than big enough to make a few smaller circles around it to have rails to people's houses. EDIT: Image was broken. Great, now the image is too small.

Hopefully clay, considering it would be in the Nether and all.
That would be an awesome Nether Spawn Hub.
Something to remember- Nether portals can now be different shaped! So you can have 3 block wide portals!
Yeah, avoid circular pathways in the nether if you can, though. Straight shot tunnels, or branching tunnels, seem like they would work the best. And that way, people don't really get lost- and you can always say "Meet me at the HUB".
GENERATION 8: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the number after generation. Consider it a social experiment.
If yer an Ork, why dont ya WAAAGH!!

I think -hopefully- with more people set up for this we can make the nether neater, with say 4 primary tunnels going in the 4 main directions and people's tunnels going in straight lines from them to portals.
saves alot of getting lost and confusing directions.
Ooh, I like that idea. Keep things nice and neat. Especially if we actually mark the cardinal directions, so we can give simple instructions for movement.
We should determine a base level for the portals as well, since it's only xz coords, not y, that matter for portal matching.

Thanks Dark. Can we have a week or two's notice, at least, whatever happens? I'm assuming that even in a best-case scenario I'll lose something, so I'd quite like to have a go at recording a Let's Play of me just wandering round my stuff.
Most people are probably going to have to sort their stuff out a bit- I know I do. I hope that the Sanctuary from the pre 1.0 world makes it over again.

Consider this your week's(-ish) notice (No guarantees on dates yet).
Please try to get your requests in there ASAP. I know it's short notice, so I will probably do a "second chance" round a bit later on, but that's still no reason to slack off on it, or someone might take a good spot you want!
Regarding the new update and the new thread about saving buildings:
Can I bring over JUST chest contents, if I don't want to bring buildings over but DO want to bring items?
Or should I just have a small building copied over and have all the chests in there, to make it easier for you?

If people want me to, once the server starts. I will increase the roofed forest I am in, I will just need help spreading it. Taking it into deserts, plains, savanna's etc.
The wood it has is dark chocolate brown. Its quite cool.
Now for there to be a double oak tree. :/ (As should birch.)
Spruce has one... Jungle has one...
And 1.8 will be about mobs (By the way, red sand, red glass, red wood.... Maybe Red Dragons? Starting the rumor mill here but a few new mobs 'might' be added. Maybe mummies? Who knows only time will tell )
Here is a close up of the red clay quarter of the circle. I really like this one the best and I have a fair amount of quartz currently to do the job of finishing it. The portal is also nice and tall which I think is nice too. Should the hub be a cylinder, or should we make the top of it a sphere?
I want a three wide portal but I couldn't find a template for a circle with uneven numbers. I'll find one though and use that for the actual nether hub.
Thanks a lot for that picture! I think a hemisphere would be hard work and I can easily get it wrong, but if we make it a cylinder, we could put multiple tiers so nether routes to people's house don't criss-cross.

i think a sphere would be cool, have the portals on the middle level of it. the top could be crafting smelting and the lower farming. make the hub sort of a nether shelter.
Can someone get on and help me fetch my cats from Lazuli Bay? Just need someone to get them with a snowball while I'm at the place I'm going to be moving to the new map.

Coordinates is always nice
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
There's signs in the Nether leading to the portal that the cats are near when I entered.
