    Coolslammer3 right so 8 minutes per potion.. I don't know what it's needed to make one but still, you have to make a bunch of those and if you run out it will mean back and forth trips wasting time. I'd still strongly suggest to go with the armor :D

    You can get pyro+ and you won't die in lava.

    MCHelix3000 or get a good armor and still not die in lava, saving $30 USD and investing instead about 20k ECD (I got my full prot4 w/ feather falling [boots] armor for about 15k though, negotiation =P )

    I've never died in nether... Only came close once when a mod used /thru and /near to find me then saw me in /vanish
    Chance of that ever happening again? About 0

    but chewychunga you have All Features don't you? The only way you could die in the nether is by physical damage from a 2nd party (player or mob) haha that's quite comfortable :D

    Lol if I choose to use them... Some times it's fun to turn as many features off as I can and pretend like I'm a builder again and survive

    Honestly it was a great 110k investment into pyro+, I love not dying when mining.

    MCHelix3000 haha nice :)
    Although I still can't imagine how someone can die with lava while mining, even with no armor =P

    Nether is a dangerous place without PYRO+. Is it worth it? Yes

    Not really. But I've seen everyone has their opinion on this. Personally, I've never died in the nether because of the fire/lava/etc. I fall from 100 blocks and survive, I catch fire because I accidentally run into lava and survive (or fight blazes, fall into lava, run into fire). All of this with my full protIV diamond armor + feather falling.

    So, I insist. Pyro+ it's not worth it in nether. At least not for me. I have never felt like I need protection against fire/lava besides my armor. But then, that's just me. Other people might find it harder to survive just with this.

    The Nether is only dangerous if you aren't careful around the lava OR if another player is on in the nether and decides to kill you and take your stuff. I lost my max fortune 3 that way..

    The nether is dangerous if you don't pay attention and react fast.
    With Pyro+ and Fly+ I still die.

    Well, I don't think the nether is too dangerous, but it does terrify me. You always have access to /spawn, so there isn't really a danger if you are a fast typer. But, I'm always terrified I'll fall, or see someone, etc, so that's why I find it terrifying.
