A new type of Survival Mode where you start in the Nether

Since the Nether is going to be a slightly more livable environment in a future update, I think players would appreciate a new challenging game mode. Nether Survival mode has you start out a new world in the Nether instead of the Overworld. The nether has its own unique progression path involving hunting Beasts, exploring and looting structures, eventually getting golden armor and then bartering with the Piglins. And eventually you'll take on the Nether Fortress and find a portal that will allow you to escape to the Overworld. Long time players like myself who would love to be challenged by Minecraft would really appreciate this gamemode.  

UPDATE: After everything we've seen from Mojang so far, I feel that the best way this could be pulled off is with a Cursed Respawn Anchor. You'd start in the Nether linked to the Anchor. 

  • It never runs out of charges, and will keep respawning you infinitely.
  • It overrides beds (maybe other respawn anchors too), so you have to get a diamond pickaxe and break it to set your spawn anywhere else.

    I've been super wanting this, and the cursed respawn anchor is an extremely good idea. I'd also like an update to the custom worlds creator, on a slightly related note... it's fun and all to make a crimson forest only biome, but the joy only goes so far in a stone cave with overworld sky fog and water lakes.

    Instead of a mode it should be a world type,so you cant go to the overworld,and maybe the end.

    I can see many people saying that there should be iron and diamond added before this game mode. Well there is no need. we can go to the overworld to find iron and diamonds! Because all we need to go to the overworld is to get obsidian by bartering with piglins. And we can get gold from either mining gilded blackstone or nether gold ore with any pick! but if you still want iron and diamond before going to the overworld you can get iron from bartering with piglins too and diamonds from both nether fortresses and bastion remnants loot

    I love this idea! It popped up in my head aswell when I first played the update! I feel instead of the infinite respawn anchor, you just spawn with a normal one since it would spice up the action and living in the nether would be easier. Once you run out of charges you spawn elsewhere with a new anchor.

    Maybe they should add a tier 2 Respawn Anchor that has infinite power. Maybe crafted with an Anchor surrounded with a rare type of glowstone.

    That's a good idea. I see one main problem however: no iron/diamond.

    You'd have to raid fortresses/bastions if you want to get iron/diamond. Else you'd be stuck with stone/gold tools most of the time. Moreover, because there's no water (nor diamond pickaxes), you'll need to barter with piglins for the obsidian needed to build a portal (costing on average 11.5 gold ingots per block).

    The starter biome would also play a huge role in your success. Nether wastes and soul sand valleys guarantee death. And you'll have to travel between the forests and basalt deltas for wood (and food) and stone respectively. Biome generation would have to be tweaked a bit.

    reminder for some commenters that blackstone is now a cobblestone crafting alternative, and that piglins sometimes barter water bottles. so you can absolutely make potions of fire resistance :) (and I'm also reasonably certain that hoglins drop leather) (and piglins barter iron nuggets)

    Nether survival mode is great, but maybe you will have a small chance of actually starting in the Nether.

    If the cursed respawn anchor is obstructed, it tries to clear blocks around it and makes a 3x3 platform under it.

    This would be so fun to watch! This needs to happen!

    This would be an awesome idea. Especially for a challenge or even just fun in general. I like the idea that breaking the respawn anchor will mean that you can set your spawn anywhere else. It makes it seem like the player is escaping the Nether too. Mojang should add this. Maybe as a toggle feature or maybe as a mode (with easy, normal and hard and hardcore)
