I have always wondered, why doesn't the Niether have an Ecosystem? All it is, is netherrack, soul sand, and lava. The world have an ecosystem, and the planned "Dream World" has an ecosystem, so why doesn't the Niether? I thought it would be a good idea for the niether to have it's own version of an ecosystem, so that it has some reason to be visited for some sense. It currently has no valueable or even useful resources other than the grilled pork from the pigmen... and it destroys attempts to be inhabited. I understand that it is Minecraft's version of "Hell", but surely even hell has some enviroment other than rocks, sand, and lava? Maybe:
Niether tree: Dark wood; makes brighter/ better torches (as the niether is dark)
Niether rock (not neitherrack...): Hell/Heck/Hades Stone?; easier to mine?
Niether coal: charcoal; mixes with dark wood.
Nether iron: Blackened Steel; makes slightly stronger armor? just different look?
Niether dirt: nietherrack.
Niether sand: Soul sand.
Neither gold: Emblazened Silver; makes more durable armor/ more uses, but different look.
Niether Diamonds: Lucifers Stone; Same as normal diamonds, different appearrance.
just a few ideas, hope this isn't to badly critized...
Why can't it have an enviroment? Just becuase it's fire doesn't mean it can't have an ecosystem... In some cultures fire is the form of creation, and even hell has a "god" so it should have some form of enviroment other than rocks, sand, and lava. It also gives a more logical reason to visit the "Nether" other than Pigmen, and yes i forgot, glowstone.
not sure what kind of environment you could really have down there. since as you said yourself, it's the meant to be a version of hell.
but the idea of resources in there makes sense. the nether is hostile and seems kind of "endgame" since you have to work toward getting there, yet there really isn't much incentive to go there. it can be fun to wander around in there but there isn't even the basic resources like iron or coal. there should be some kind of rare resources in the nether other than soul sand and glow-stone, maybe some kind of higher tier minerals for armor?
I agree that there needs to be more stuff in the nether, but honestly just slapping the word nether in front of everything and with a slightly better performance than the non-nether counterparts seems a bit too simple for me.
I can't change the topic's name(as far as I know), srry. but as for the Mod and names: Yes, I know there is a mod out there that has things like this, and some more items, too, but that was not the point. I was suggesting something everyone can use (no im not to lazy or ignorant to upload the mod...) and make the NETHER a more inhabitable and useful area, considering all you had to do to get there. And the names... If you would read next to them, I mention the names for them, so no. I did not "Just add nether in front of the items names." I came up with names using imagination and some already used names from the mod.

2) Please spell "Nether" right when making a thread about it.
EDIT: Though I DO like these ideas, they have been suggested, too. Not all of them, but a lot.
