Add natural events to the Nether.

under review

In the Overworld, we have rain, thunder, and snow. What do we have in the Nether? Nothing. I think there should be a rare, natural occurrence in the Nether. Maybe sometimes it can be raining magma cubes, or maybe sometimes there can be Wither Skeleton Horse Traps? I would just like to see something that can uncommonly happen in the Nether.

    Seems pretty neat. Perhaps at random intervals, lava spouts could shoot out of the lava ocean.

    That would make the Nether even more scary, I am 100 percent against this idea.

    I love this idea. Maybe add a lave storm ?

    Maybe it could be similar to an earthquake, where blocks above would break and pockets of lava would flow down. Or maybe random patches of glowstone would explode into lava when being mined.

    They could also add like a 'wither storm' (the weather type not the one in story mode) where there is like a time when certain areas in the nether could inflict the wither effect on non nether creatures.

    Um, uncommon things do happen in the Nether.  For example, I was just mining my own business mining glowstone, when suddenly there was a terrible shriek an a fireball blew me to smithereens and blew my smithereens into a lake of lava.

    My idea is that at rare times the lava rises a few blocks.

    How about an underground volcano, it spews lava from underneath?

    I don’t think rains or storms would work because nether doesn’t have a open sky. Maybe earthquakes or fountains that’ll happen in lava oceans

    I think that there should be some sort of phenomenon in the nether, but nothing that makes it more dangerous. It also shouldn't be anything like an overworld storm. there was one idea I had in mind.
    All the netherrack turns gray and the gravity is weakened.
    I don't know what you would call this, but it would definitely make the nether a lot more interesting.

    Maybe you can use magma blocks to make yourself an armor set that helps protect you against fire related damage?  Do some feedback on that.

    I think this is not a bad idea

    Like patches of acid fog that poison you, and you can throw bottles into it to capture the fog to make a potion of poison. Like dragons breath, which is still useless btw <3

    Dragon’s breath is used to brew lingering potions.

    What I can think of is a heat wave. When you stay unsave for too long you will start burning. Luckily there is a new type of armor wich will protect you from the heat wave. But the deal is that you are more vulnerable with it, because it absorbs less damage than diamond or iron armor. You can also prevent getting damage by just drink a potion of fire resistance.

     

    Another Idea I have is, a random event were a new type of mob spawns everywhere. How about some lava insect wich will come out of the lava everywhere when the event happens? There would finnaly be a new mob being vulnerable to bane of arthropods. 

     

    Another Idea: When you kill a ghast, there is a tiny chance it will spawn 3 - 6 small ghasts, wich shoot missiles similar to them from the ender dragon, creating an area wich will damage you, only that these areas are much smaller and take less damage to you. They are also in a firy red istead of purple.

    I don’t think we can do lava rain because of the fact that the nether has a ceiling, but maybe a overworld mob can spawn like a pig

    Seems like a good idea. Lava rain wouldn't make any since due to the ceiling above the Nether. A steam/fog could rise from the lava and prohibit the player's vision. Glowstone blocks can randomly fall and shatter when they hit lava or the ground. The lava spout ideas would be cool. When you're near your portal, a villager or other passive mobs could stumble in. They would express their confusion with expressions or particles seeming to say "I'm not suppose to be here...." then go back to the Overworld.

    For Nether Fortresses, maybe you see a random battle between two wither skeletons, two pigmen, or two blazes. It would be similar to a skeleton accidently shooting another skeleton. With the hundreds of pigmen nearby, maybe you can spot two baby ones chasing each other and play fighting. Also wither skeleton horse traps would be sweet especially if you avoid it and can tame a wither skeleton horse.

    Nether world is hell like place right?...yeah its makes more even scary if there are Natural Events but the RAIN and SNOW seems not match the temperature of nether meaning to say that the temperature of the overworld is so high. There are no waters in nether so, no rainfall. The temperature is hot, so snowfall will never happen unless nether became a cold place...what if you replace it like raining of lava drops or something that match the environment of the nether...but still your idea is so nice.

    Maybe lava or acid rain should be a thing I dunno... I have a nether rework post as well and I thought it might be nice to show it to you guys:https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360035231311-Complete-nether-overhaul-links-enclosed-

    Wither skeleton riding a black undead-horse sometimes appears in the nether, on lower area. (0 to 64).
    This black undead-horse would not be burnable.

    Why not make little clouds made of fire that rarely rains down lava-like rain that can catch you on fire and does a half of a heart of damage every second. And a new ore, that can be use to make neither armor (that gives you fire resistance) can only be found under the clouds.

    I think a type of fog that will make it hard for you to see very far and will give you an effect not sure what kind but the idea that you can get covered in thick fog in the nether and lose your way is neat.

    What if we had a 'rain' effect in the Nether? Instead of raining water, it'd rain lava. Of course, being out in this would definitely cause damage and lower your HP, perhaps losing half a heart every few seconds. If you build a small shelter out of flamable blocks (like wood) it'd catch on fire and burn.
