PLEASE DON'T LEECH
I know there are a lot of mod ideas on how to improve the quality and usefulness of the Nether, but I feel as if I deserve to share my two-cents also.
Now as you all may know, a mod was recently released that raised the bar of what a mod should be. It's called The Aether. The Aether is basically the counter-part to the Nether but does it's job 10x better. It provides a ton of new mobs, new items, new blocks, ores, ACTUAL dungeons, and the introduction to planned bosses. It wasn't just "come in, destroy the spawner and get some crappy loot."
You can tell that the makers put there time and effort in. But with my mod idea, I really want it to reflect the Aether.
Problems with the current Nether
+ Two measly mobs, which drop items of minimal use.
- Zombie Pigmen? What is the purpose?
- Ghast? Annoying ghost which spit fire and only drop gunpowder.
+ Only three new blocks.
- The Nether has so much potential to create more dangerous, exciting, and creative blocks.
+ Ugly to look at.
- Honestly, the Nether is an eyesore. It's just a series of red and orange. I know it's supposed to represent a hellish area but it's just too ugly.
+ Boring
- Nothing to do in the Nether except gather Glowstone in order to teleport to the Aether.
Possible improvements Nether
+ Introduction to possible new ore(s) and blocks.
- Obsidian Ore: Different from Obsidian. Long lasting tools that have twice the number of uses than Diamond. But they have the properties of Iron. If paired with Aether, it CANNOT be repaired with enchanter, due to it's long lasting value. With a pickaxe, it also mines Obsidian in 5 seconds as opposed to 15 seconds with a diamond pickaxe.
- Ember Dust: Obtained from Netherrack. Can be attached to swords in order to create Emberred (Material) Sword. When hitting a mob, it has the chance to catch the mob on fire, causing them to die even faster. It can also be attached to other tools. If you right click, it acts as flint and steel. Using the fire feature does lead to pre-mature destruction of tools.
- (PENDING) Mute Stone: Obtained from the ground. This block will have the same properties of Obsidian, such as resistance to explosions and time to mine. When a mob steps on it, it cancels out a mobs actions. Such as; a creeper explosion and a skeleton shots.
- (PENDING) Sticky Mute Stone: Combine Slime Balls with Mute Stone or Smooth Mute Stone to create Sticky Mute Stone. Sticky Mute Stone will hold any mob in place on the sticky substance until the block is broken or the mob is killed.
+ Introduction to new mobs.
For such a hellish looking area, there are only two mobs? Now I admit, Ghast were good but not good enough to make up for the lack of items in the Nether.
- Gargon: Begins hostile but can be tamed. If it is killed, it drops Gargon teeth. Gargon teeth can be used to create a new breed of arrows, which is two times more powerful than regular arrows. In order to tame one, you must feed it 4 - 10 Cooked porkchops in order for it to become passive. Once it is passive, it can be saddled and rode around with full control. It can also take massive amounts of fall damage and can walk through lava, but every minute it stays in lava, it loses a heart. It has a total of 7 hearts and can be replenished with a porkchop, although one porkchop = half a heart.
- Yugs: Similar in looks to the Minecraft guy, only dark, and dangerous. These are basically your counter parts. They carry ANY ITEM in the game, and it is randomly generated. When one is killed, they have the ability to drop 1 - 3 items, from dirt all the way to diamonds! They only drop items that would be found in original Minecraft. Not mod items, not even apart of this mod. They are pretty rare. They cannot be set on fire and they can swim in lava. They can carry any tool, it would be randomly generated. So that means they can carry wooden tools all the way to diamonds, so be cautious. They also carry a default 64 arrows just in case their random carried item would be a bow.
+ Organised Dungeons
- Dungeons similar to Aether dungeons. No current ideas. I just know the Nether needs dungeons.
+ Introduction to new items
- Obsidian Armor and tools. (see above for more detail)
Long lasting armor and tools.
I will create model and sample pictures if people agree with me and support me. I'm not programmer so I can't make this, I'm just sharing and will possibly put together a team to help make this.. Programmers, designers, idealist, coders, etc. Age really isn't a big deal, but I'm kind of looking for mature people. I don't really want to deal with someone who can't spell or has an irritating voice. If you're interested in helping please fill this form out:

I forgot to include this, but I need a method of contact, so this way we can discuss it and get some stuff going.
I also know of somebody who could possibly make a banner
Perfect. But my question is how does your creeper mod work? Just wondering.
Also that'd be good but I'm not really sure about the banner yet because I still have to find committed people into helping with this collab. I don't want it to be too big of a team but I also need the best I can get.
That'd be perfect! I'd love to see pictures and such.

Is there any work you've done in the past that you can showcase?
Sounds good, but it'd need more of a challenge than just that. Know what I mean?
It is just a block that has very high explosion resistance, but can be broken with any pickaxe, which makes it better than obsidian for making explosion resistant buildings

So you're good at making blocks and block properties?

decent, I know how to set hardness resistance, light givin off (good for the nether), and some other things, nothing too special like powering redstone

Would you know how to do something like.. If a creeper stepped on said block, it couldn't explode while it was on it?
Ember, and obsidian ores I could probably work on, but the Mute stone might not even be possible, especially for the human clicking, plus how would you break sticky mute stone if you cant click... Stuck forever depending on where you are.

True.. Okay, I'll work on that really quickly. But I still think if it's possible, it's a great idea.

No, I've never seen it but I have separate ideas from those.

Would you know how to do something like.. If a creeper stepped on said block, it couldn't explode while it was on it?
Not at the moment, I think you would have to recode the creeper for something like that
+ New Blocks
+ Mobs Named
