Interesting concept, I get quite board walking around Nether Fortresses only seeing long empty hallways, occasionally blaze spawners. I would like to see this added to game.
If you want a seed for nether fortresses, use. " Nether fortress plz " ( yes I know, what a coincidence :tongue.gif: ) and.build a portal at spawn. There should be a huge ass fortress with at least two spawners in it. If it doesn't work I can upload the save file but it has my stuff I added in it. I tried it in 1.0
Idea for a structure to make the nether fortress actually a fortress: A defense section! Contains a blaze spawner with plenty of windows for them to fire out, and perhaps 0-5 of a new type of block that launches slow moving projectiles at a low speed, so they take much longer to hit the ground than snowballs, yet travel a much shorter distance, and on contact with anything, makes an explosion half the power of a normal explosion, and no damage to blocks, but makes twice as much fire as a ghast fireball. They can be activated by buttons, but the number of buttons would average about 1.5.
I would certainly enjoy more improvements to Nether dungeons, and The Nether as a whole. I think there should be new Nether-only items (like Nether Warts) to go in chests and outside Nether fortresses. Maybe a potion that you can't make on a brewing stand?
So the nether is an evil place with zombies, eternal fire and lava lakes....
But it is also deep underground. I was thinking that adding special crystal resources would give more uses for the nether as well as looking good.
Types of crystal:
Amethyst bush: A dark purple crystal which is very common. It can grow on the top sides and bottom of blocks and can be crafted into purple dye.
Sulfate crystal: found in clusters this yellow crystal can be broken with a pickaxe and has a number of uses:
It can also be crafted with bone-meal and charcoal to make 5 gunpowder.
When crafted with water you get sulfuric acid which acts like water but damages mobs and entity's.
If a redstone torch is and a sulphuric acid bucket is
then:
You make an electrolysis kit. This can separate metallic elements from crystals however it often needs topping up with acid.
Nether crystals are large crystal which are made up of 5 or 6 blocks each. When in the nether they slowly grow:
Silver crystal: when refined it releases iron.
Yellow crystal: when refined releases gold
Red crystal: when refined you get a large amount of red-stone. When hit this crystal also glows.
Quartz: this rare crystal can used in tools or Armour and has a variable durability with effectiveness increasing the further down you are. fo tools there will probably be a stick substitute in the recipe.
It can also be crafted with a clock to make a quartz watch which shows the overworld time in all dimensions.
Just a basic idea for a rare nether biome if this topic expands.
If you don't want this in the thread you can just ignore it and if you want me to I will remove it.
there are some good ideas in here, but they need to be refined a bit to fit in vanilla MC (but then again, all ideas do. :tongue.gif: )
Wooow. Lots of new chest additions. Although I dont think there should be ender eyes and ender pearls in there >.> The nether is the one place where endermen cant actually go. So it might seem a little silly if there were ender items there. Other then that I love the idea and nearly all of the rooms! id design some rooms myself but I cant play minecraft on this laptop XD.
Anyway. Someone should make a rare throne room of some sort. With a large chair made out of glow stone or something. nothing much in the throne room except multiple blaze spawners and maybe a double or a couple of sigle chests. nothing different to the regular items though.
basically, It's a thread to try and implement dimensions like the aether and such in a reasonable way, as well as improving current dimensions (that includes the nether)
It's still a work in progress, but eventually it will have a bunch of links for the nether and other dimensions as well
as for your designs, I will add them in a bit, I've been kinda busy lately,
I will probably link this thread to the new one and vise versa as well.

"Will you be eating that cake?...
Say what you want, but I will be taking the cake."
I still have no idea who is doing the mod...
as for the better the nether campaign, I started a new thread for dimension improvement and addition here http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/849427-all-dem-dimensions/
