Wow I thought I was farther O.o
Behold my almighty laziness!
The Darkinnit.com Map was recently updated to extend its boundaries past the new Jungle biome that someone discovered a few weeks ago. Your place might well have been off map before it was updated and expanded.

Actually no, It has always been on the map. The entire island I am on.

Agreed and have done so, also noted its PC related, as with the changes incoming to the Xbox one and PS4, potentially there could be Dakka based servers on consoles as well.

Not a bad idea really. I mean the xbox crowd will potential be just as big.

Only problem with that is it's hosted on whoever makes the worlds Xbox. We could all hang out and just jump between all of our worlds all the time (Not that bad of a thing) But if we wanted a continuous world to work on I as "Admin/Host" (For Example) Would need to leave my Xbox on and the world booted up all the time, or at least during the times people wanted to play.

Thanks for adding those links, I didn't think it was necessary given that the whitelist thread is stickied at the top of the Video Games forum, but I guess they just become a "blind spot" that people gloss over.
A brief Google search seems to suggest it's not currently possible to host dedicated servers for the console versions of Minecraft, and people can only share the worlds from their consoles as DA's Forever has said.
Aye currently its not, not sure it ever will be on PS3 or Xbox 360, but as far as I am aware, it will be a feature on both the next gen versions.
For example, worlds will be hosted in the cloud for Xbox One, allowing anyone to log on regardless of the creator's online presence or not. I think there will be a password system in place as well.
If it does set up as it seems it will, It's very likely I'll set up an Xbox One world for Dakka folks,

Do we have a portal location yet?
Ah, nope. I was chased out by ghasts, which I can't hit at long range because of lag, while making the bridge. Then I got distracted by a village very close to mine who had built on top of a system of caves and hills so I felt compelled to save them from their foolishness. That's all finished now.

In my opinion that does take priority Emeralds > clay

I haven't built the nether side portal yet, for some reason. You just need to head to the end of the North Tunnel and turn left to a staircase that goes up and up into the nether roof. It's just a straight line to the end.
There's 16 Obsidian and a lighter in a chest there, so could you place the portal there please? The tunnel is already aligned z-wise to the surface portal, the x-coordinate should be 471. Also, I intended to make the portal 3x3, so it lines up with future tunnel plans that I may not get around to. Plus I need that portal for quick transit back, though I don't plan to play any more tonight.
Do you think it would have been better to have built the portal amongst the nearby trees?
Yeah, but I only did it for it's own sake. Villager don't often end up with things I find useful. Though 1 is selling Ender Pearls, which is good since every dang Enderman decides to flee from me when I try to fight it, only once did I try to lure one into the water. Is this normal?
Now I need to dig up the village since they chose some very uneven terrain, even got some dirt in one house. The Iron Golem I made for them jumped onto the roof of that house then jumped into the enclosed fenced area behind another house

I got bored, portal is now built and lit.

Thanks, I think I'll jump on to get my character out of the wilderness, which is what Binidj's shelter is for. But now there's no chance of him building on top of me and suffocating me when I log in.
My daughter wants to install some sort of mod that turns it into some variation of Pokemon - Pixelmon?
It seems as if the mod is full of spyware, bloat, trackers, etc.
Is this not the case, and I'm just over-reacting?
Is there a 'safe' place to download 'safe' versions of Minecraft stuff?
Well, I doubt you would have clicked the big green START DOWNLOAD Free Version at the top of the Pixelmon sites pages, which is where problems can come from.
Otherwise, all signs point to downloading from this page. Ignoring the big green download banner.

Though I've gotten adware from freeware before.
Does the mod actually work for you?
Basically. Sometimes we misclick and click the wrong thing its understandable. A mod usualy does not have a virus on it.

Daaang man, thanks! I don't know why but whenever I receive unsought/unexpected gifts it makes me feel a lot more happy than I think it should, complete with dumb grin, even before knowing what I got.
When I found out what I got I was all 'woooah awesome ' but I have no idea what I should do with it.
