So when I first heard about the nether I thought it was pretty neat, but right now its kinda barren? (The next update will help right?) I like the idea of a hellish type world where I can get half my body shot at by what seems to be the ghost of children / tentacle monsters.
What bothers me most is the name. I don't know by "The Nether" never really sat well with me. It just seemed very... off? I don't know if it was ment to be a new dimension, new world, etc but I always found "The Core" more appropriate. As if you entered the core of your world. Where time and space do not matter and physics and everything are all messed up. It made sense when my friend told it to me.
When you hit bedrock you can't break through it. So I thought making a portal to the nether / core was a neat idea. Kind of like your going deeper than your ment to. Not to mention if you try digging up outside the nether you hit bedrock. So It makes sense your in bedrock surrounded core right?
The Nether's Opposite
If anyone says "The Aether" I will wet my schoolgirl panties and cry. I always thought something more along "Sky Dome, Sky Lands, etc" would sound more appropriate. The Aether just sounds like someone ran out of ideas or weren't sounding very creative. (Don't get me wrong I love the idea) I can see how it works its just the name that kills me. The only idea i can make for this is something called "The Cloud" where a single solid cloud is constantly seen overhead. If will pass as all clouds do but eventually make a comeback and you can mine a part of it. Creating a door with the mined cloud parts (and attaching it to your house) lets you enter a new world called "The Cloud" where you can look down from above, go to other clouds, or reap the new resources and benefits of it.
The Dream Dimension
The idea of my dream sucking me to a new dimension and finding new ways to kill me? Holy ideas batman. This idea didn't really swing with me, but it did make me a tad bit fearful was it a nightmare or a dream? A dream where I can gather resources and new items and bring them to the real world?
OR a nightmare filled place where I'll be torn up and thrown down losing all my hopes. I think this idea could work nicely but only if its balanced correctly. Think of when you enter "The Dream" you can walk around and accidentally walk into the nightmare. Which you can turn around and leave if you so desire, or you can explore and reap the benefits.
Small Note
I know some people will say Yes this is notches game quit my bitching, Yes there is an aether mod don't use it if you don't want to, and yes I'm well aware the dream dimension is still in the brain storming stages. I'm just giving small suggestions to help make the game feel more... Homey?
Also I was going to post this in General discussion but it seemed more appropriate for suggestions.
Are you really talking about the names? The Nether is supposed to be a form of Hell. I don't think anyone gives a **** what the name is. I can't believe the most you had to complain about was that the names of places in Minecraft don't "sit" with you.
I like the dream dimension, it'll basically be normal but a little warped and colorful...You enter the dream dimension by going to sleep and clicking wake up which you will then either wake up in normal world or dream world,good dream or nightmare, at random. :3
I like the name The Core, and it makes sense. I always hated the name the Aether, but I never tried the mod, when 1.9 comes out, assuming notch gives us enough time to do stuff.

I tried the Aether mod with a friend awhile back. I rather liked it. It was just the name that urked me haha.

I know this seems like an extremely petty thing to do. I had doubts when clicking the post button and all that but I just wanted to give two cents on something that urked me. (I feel better about it now though) I know it seems small and childish compared to what other people are doing but in all honesty... I'm fine with how minecraft is otherwise. What has been said about everything has been said.
"We need more of this"
"X shouldn't do that"
"Gimme a toggle button for option #3232"
The only reason I complained about the names is because thats all that bothers me. I know it isn't a big deal and I doubt it'll get fixed but hey. Why not, right? I'm not complaining to hear my own voice I'm just offering a suggestion that'll give the game a tad bit better feel to it?

Aren't you on the forums as well? Or are you somehow typing these messages without a computer. And yes, at eight o'clock at night on a Sunday before school starts I tend to no have a lot to do, sue me.
On a side note, do you think calling me names is any more mature than me saying no one gives a **** what the name is?
"I always thought something more along "Sky Dome, Sky Lands, etc" would sound more appropriate. The Aether just sounds like someone ran out of ideas or weren't sounding very creative."
I do not agree at all with, personnally, I would think the opposite, the Aether, might it seem very similar to Nether, still sounds more creative, to me, than Sky Dome, or Sky Lands, sure your names make sense, for example The Core, but they Only make sense, they aren't, in my mind, very creative.
I don't mean this in any offensive manner, but it's my opionon.
Also, I don't want to see anymore dimensions added, the Nether, and Aether are enough for me, but if there were to be another I would want it to be alternate reality, instead of a DreamWorld, where in this alternate reality all the colors are different and the mobs from the Nether, normal world, and Aether are included and buffed more than normal, making this the most dangerous and interesting world of them all.

Well I thought of the sky dome and sky lands at the last minute and comparing it to the aether your right haha. Well notch has confirmed a sky/dream dimension... http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Sky_Dimension
So I'm a tad bit excited about that, but I can't see how much change it'll make to the world.
I like your idea kind of a hellish world where everything is out to kill you and stuff. Kindof like a masochists world haha.
I know some people will say Yes this is notches game quit my bitching, Yes there is an aether mod don't use it if you don't want to, and yes I'm well aware the dream dimension is still in the brain storming stages. I'm just giving small suggestions to help make the game feel more... Homey?
Thought the last word was "Horny?". XD
