The Below-World Update (Part 2): Home Fiery Home

This site only allows you one idea per post so I will be chopping up my ideas for The Below World Update into multiple posts.

What is the Below World Update?

The Below World Update is my take on the nether revamp. In my version, my goal is to give the player reasons to think of staying in the nether or continuously venturing deeper. These include things like:

Unique Hazardous Nether Environment
New Mechanics
New Structures
New Mobs
New Treasures
New Goals For Player
Tweaks To Existing Mechanics

In this post, I will like to discuss the environment of Nether.

Now before I begin, I would like to share the story of my first experience with the nether(it is relevant to my goals with this update). I was playing with my cousin and this was around the time the nether reactor core was in the game. My cousin and I booted up the reactor core. The pigmen spawn, they made their grunting noise then attacked. My cousin and I were scared and screaming as fought for our lives. We managed to survive and smiles on our faces after that made the initial fear worth it.

This is how I want the modern nether. A place where around any corner something new is ready to bite that blocky head off but the triumph you get from surviving shall be worth.

Here is a list of stuff I found on the feedback the could contribute to this:
