Soul sand can be expanded into deserts for the Nether, just like how there are deserts in the over-world. But this variant of desert can have some contrast on what deserts in the over-world appear to have.
A new type of plant, Nether cactus will look like cactus in the over-world but gray with red prickles. It can be grown but very slowly, 30 minutes for each block. A use for Nether cactus is to make crimson dye. Crimson dye will be used to craft the essential stuff that dyes can craft. Instead of dead bushes in the desert, Nether warts grow instead.
These deserts should also have abandoned villages. It can add to the lore that people were once in the Nether. So there could be abandoned villages in Nether deserts. These will have small houses like normal villages but they're made out of Nether bricks and fences. One of the houses may have a chest with loot just like chests in Nether fortresses.
These deserts should generate next to lava rivers, sort of bordering them from the normal Netherrack areas. And the deserts should vary in size. Some may be tiny with only little Nether cactus, some may be big with an abandoned village.
