Okay so me and my friend were playing our usual hard mode survival and we finally felt we were ready to go to the nether. We get there and obviously the first thing we did was run for our lives away from the ghasts. We eventually took the fortress and after about 20 minutes of pimping our new house and farming the blaze spawner we were bored and there was nothing else to do anymore. My idea is to give the nether some more stuff to do. The mobs are there but really, the only one anyone cares about is the blaze. for ex. maybe make the quartz a material for tools. maybe a little stronger than iron but weaker than diamond. Or add a nether chest that is immune to ghast fireballs and requires 8 nether brick and a ghast tear. make the zombie pigman drop better loot like gold ingots instead of nuggets. maybe make a small building made of netherbrick where a (not zombie) normal pigman is and will trade you things for quartz, magma creme, and gold. I'm not saying these things specifically need to be added i just think that the nether needs to give the mobs a purpose besides simple potions or to kill you.
The point of the Nether for the player to get potion ingredients and serve as a challenge. I don't agree with the Nether quartz tools, we already have many tiers of armor. And as for the chest, just put it somewhere that the ghasts can't destroy it. Really, don't think there is anything else that the Nether needs. I do like the pigmen idea though. They would basically be nether villagers, and would live in nether brick houses. I like the idea, but I don't think it should be added, just yet.

thanks for replying and those ideas were just off the top of my head but the pigmen idea was the one i really liked too.

Why do we need more tiers? Oh, yeah, we don't. Quartz is just fine for being a building material. And you should already have diamond tools by this point.
Or add a nether chest that is immune to ghast fireballs and requires 8 nether brick and a ghast tear. Why? What purpose would this serve? And being Ghast-proof is no reason--all that says is that you cannot protect your chests that you leave exposed in the Nether.
make the zombie pigman drop better loot like gold ingots instead of nuggets. They do drop ingots.
maybe make a small building made of netherbrick where a (not zombie) normal pigman is and will trade you things for quartz, magma creme, and gold. Why? Do we not already have Villagers that do this?
I'm not saying these things specifically need to be added i just think that the nether needs to give the mobs a purpose besides simple potions or to kill you. Use your imagination. There's plenty to do.
One more thing though. this may seem a bit stupid but what if there was a nether bench. Same as a crafting table but made of netherack. i just hate forgetting my wood and my sword breaks while im in the nether. lol Remember. Your. Wood. There's no need to add something because you're forgetful. lol
Ummm this has nothing to do with advice for the nether. Trust me, I don't need advice for how to survive in the nether. I'm saying I have only been inside for two days and have already mastered the nether. I have no reason to go into it anymore.
I'm trying to say that maybe everything in the nether should not be designed to kill you. There should be a reason to go there besides for quartz, potions, and xp farms.
I made a suggestion for the PC version that had something but it got shot down. I don't really think it would work because of how small the nether is but I will share it anyways, possibly for the next gen consoles. You all know how we have half of the nether not in use, right? There is nothing above level 128 but it goes all the way up to 256. I was thinking we make use of this. My ideas of usage for this would be to have surface things on this layer, making it look like a surface, rather than just a giant cave. This would make it truly a separate dimension rather than just a cave far under the overworld. This would include things such as mountains, plains, volcanoes, acid rain that hurts you, Pigman villages , and hellish forests. The red dragon should spawn here, but have to be summoned. There should be a different kind of stone from layers 128 up though. Nether stone or something like that. Keep layer 128 and below the same though. That is where you would spawn under normal conditions.

Tell me what you think!
Maybe bonuses for smelting in the nether, to make it worth trying to build in.

Look where we are.
When they introduced nether fortrecces i thoughtn they were castles with imprisoned villagers which mwould be a good idea.
