The Quarantine Zone

It's a quiet day.

I completed my nether railway to about 3k blocks away from the main portal to create a path to an overworld location about 24k blocks away that I'm calling ``The Quarantine Zone''. The overworld portal currently is just lightly protected against basic mobs---the next thing to do is to start blast-proofing it so that when I am ready to summon the Wither, there will be a safe house from which I can spawn from.

Building the railway was quite resource intensive, but was relaxing in its own way. My basic railway in the Nether consists of a smooth stone base, followed by glass blocks two-high on each side, followed by a stone slab capping it off. The rails run at 21 rails to 1 powered rail to 2 detector rails. It's not the most efficient distribution ratio, but it is simple enough for me---it is, after all, still a single player survival world (with cheats to take away some of the stupider things as needed). But I've been collecting/generating these resources for the longest time anyway, so it hasn't really been a problem.

I've also been working through Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs.

That's about it for today. I'm thinking of getting me some 麻辣 for my one meal tomorrow.

Till the next update then.
