Sorry for the long wait........my iPad is out to get me, I swear.

I tried to build a gigantic nether portal like I’ve seen on some servers, and it sort of worked. It took ages to finish and I’m well proud of it. It’s covered with marble and prismarine that masks the ugly obsidian.
But, as I lay in my bed that night,I heard the sound of groaning....!
Five seconds later I was a mere puddle on the floor as invading wither skeletons beat me and one of my hunting dogs into smoosh. I had forgotten to build a two block high barrier on the other side of my portal.
Lesson to be learned: stick to the Overworld.
It cost me my diamonds. 😭
