    I'd like to mess with portals but I have a hard time doing anything in the Nether without getting blasted by ghasts left and right. The best solution I've come up with so far is to start any Nether projects by building a lot of defensive walls around the area first, but that isn't always practical. I was wondering how everyone else who makes use of portals and the Nether survives those flying jellyfish assholes.

    You are doing the right thing. You will have to build a small house around it made of stone or glass. Then go from there.

    Don't forget that they may be too distant to attack with a sword, but they only take four arrows to kill. Aim right and you can clear an area of ghasts for a long enough period to build anything necessary (within reason).

    @99X: what's the point then, the nether is supposed to be hard putting it peaceful would make it pointless:)
