I see that a lot of people here have a one sided mind, well folks, let me explain. The picture we decided to make mapart on was the same one, and now you might say “omg it has the same background you little liar!” no, look closely , the stone block on top does not have a the same lightings, maparts are done in deserts because the have very little structures and are usually quite flat. As for the nether portal, it was built for traveling long distances. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding
