I just read about a suggestion for a Heaven-like area similar to the Nether. It included easily-accessible ores such as diamonds which sounds way too easy.
That's when I came up with the idea of having mysterious, spontaneous but rare events occur around the player. I haven't played Runescape for ages, but I do remember the mysterious man and other characters that would teleport you to different activities.
I'm not saying to add in a mysterious npc, 'cuz never would I want to see that, especially if there aren't already other human mobs or villages in the game. I was thinking perhaps of a single block, that once mined with a diamond pickaxe, would leave behind some sort of reward or even a teleportation device. But not to another world. Of course not. Maybe a small room, labyrinth, or something of the sorts.
It would disappear after one use, if that makes it easier to understand. And to a small room or something, with a certain challenge like collect as much as you can before the timer stops and you get teleported back to your previous location.

Obviously this would be a very rare occurrence.
Post your insight, I want to know what you think!
OT: Try and flesh out the drops... teleportation plates sound a bit imbalanced.

That could be interesting... perhaps a dungeon?
There could be a door/portal to exit through once the loot is taken.
I'm not sure it was the Aether that I read about, but you still get my point. This isn't going to be unbalanced.
How do you like the idea, though?
Not too bad, sounds like a slightly more complex version of Dungeons.
Well, it's not too complicated. It's just a one-use teleportation device that teleports you to a dungeon room. Walls wouldn't be able to be mined too.
Pretty much the same, (unmineable) mossy cobblestone walls, a spawner, a couple of chests, and an added portal to escape.
But I've anxiously been waiting for people's opinions, which seem to come at a slow-rate.
Nice to know I got your support, though.
