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.

    The creepiest "Event" would be if The Nether suddenly went SILENT for about as long as a single raincycle does.

    Add magma rain which hurts the player if the player stands in the rain.

    The overall idea of having natural events in the nether is cool, but I personally don't particularly want it to rain magma cubes while I am in the nether. It would be instant death.

    Something of this nature would be cool, but I'mma have to say no to any type of rain. Remember the Nether has a bedrock ceiling and most of the nether has netherrack in the ceiling too.

    The Nether definitely needs some new things like this, its pretty stale at the moment in terms of content

    Perhaps a cloud of withering ash will pervade areas of the nether.

    I agree. I think there needs to be A: More of a variety of naturally-generating blocks in the Nether B: Or new biomes within the Nether C: Or more events within the Nether to make even scarier, and unique to the Overworld.

    Lava Rain so you have to get inside IMMEDIATELY, or get under some form of shelter, NOT A FLAMMABLE BLOCK.

    good idea, maybe there can be bosses that rarely occur with those events, say a draon comes out of the lava and flings lava and stuff.neto

    I think this is a beautiful new idea, people think this would be scary but, we already got scared by some cave sounds and the Elder Guardian jumpscare from we were younger (the cave sounds still give me some chills.) The nether is one of my favorite places and it deserves to have more content. Earthquakes or fire balls coming out from lava is some cool ideas, as it makes the nether feel more like you know...

    Since the Nether is a completely different dimension its natural events should be otherwordly too, some ideas I have is that the lava could randomly change color to like blue or green, maybe the netherrack could do this too and mined netherrack could randomly change colors even in the overworld.

    Maybe the Wither Skeleton Trap Horses can have Wither Skeleton Horses rather than regular skeleton horses.

    What about it can "ash"? Ash rains down from the sky and piles up like snow, collectible with a shovel.

    Ive always loved the notion of a Nether "chill" Like parts of it cool down periodically, and all the mobs transition to slightly different versions of themselves. Similar to the "night mode" in the Super Mario Maker 2 trailer. The lighting would shift and change to more blue. 

    Ghasts shrink in size to extremely small baloon looking fellas that float around passively like jellyfish.

    Blazes would shift into icey versions of themselves, rather than just lighting you on fire, their projectiles could slow you and knock you back.

    Magma slimes would crystalize into solid blocks that would provide an ore that you can only get during the cold season.

    Zombie Pigman could all become aggro-d during cold seasons or something, dont have a great idea for them or the withers that isn't just "add an ice/cold effect to their attacks"

    I think a storm can be neat, like lava raising from 10-15 blocks, and raining blood/lava. Hurting you a little if you aren't protected by a block above you... would not say blindndss because it will be surely to hard. Why not a perturbation spawning vex? Those creature are kinda nightmarish..

    Very fan of umbardacil idea with chill version of nether.

    maybe a new zombie? "The Abandoned" they only come out at the random events, they try to break free of netherrack and.. 2 for easy mode 4 for normal and 6 for hard abandoned surround you at your location there is start up/ warning for you to get prepared mind you, when they finally break free of their netherrack grave you can hear a loud snap and a small explosion.

    they get less damage from fire because they're already quite burnt and they're slightly faster than regular zombies 

    sometimes they have iron pickaxes in their hand.

    the reward from surviving the event are iron nuggets 1-4 and flint 1-3,sometimes drop their equipment

    the abandoned are long lost players who have died and couldn't find their portal in time.

    Perhaps lava levels could rise for a brief amount of time.

    lava rain where you had to find shelter and blocks could break or explode(in the case of an exploding block it turns to lava)
