I have an idea for a new mob in the Nether that would act as a reliable food source, and also an alternate source of nether quartz.
Cluesters (Clusters? Cloo-esters? Cloosters? I'm debating the pronunciation) would appear like Chickens, but with feathers more akin to shards of nether quartz. They would not glide like normal chickens, have 6 health instead of 4, be bred with nether wart, and spawn naturally near lava lakes AND on soulsand and nether quartz ore in the Nether. They would be able to harmlessly swim in lava and also not be slowed by soulsand. Baby Zombie Pigmen would be able to spawn riding fully grown Cluesters, similar to chicken jockeys. Cluesters would always drop a single raw chicken, as well as 0-2(3?) nether quartz upon death. Rather than laying eggs, Cluesters would lay single pieces of nether quartz, albeit at a lower rate than normal chickens lay eggs. The breeding cooldown time of Cluesters is slightly longer than that of normal chickens. They would drop the same XP on death as chickens.
-MAYBE- Cluesters could be neutral mobs that attack the player similarly to the way wolves do, as a group. They would do very little damage on their own, but in a group could be a bit of a pain. Also, baby Cluesters would run away instead of attacking when a nearby adult Cluester is provoked.
-MAYBE- Nether quartz can now be thrown like eggs, with a chance of spawning a baby Cluester upon hitting something. (I can't imagine how this would be accomplished, much less how it would affect compatibility with other mods)
Also, if someone chooses to take it upon themselves to make this mod, I would beg that you make it for version 1.10.2.

This idea is amazing. Adding it to my to-do list on a big mod I'm planning on doing. Also nice profile pic 👌
also the pronunciation would be: "Cloosters" or if the spelling were "Cleusters" it would be: "clousters"
