Brimstone Caves(Nether Update)

In the Bible, hell is described as a land of fire and brimstone. Brimstone is another name for sulfur, a yellow mineral that burns blue. So I propose the Brimstone Caverns biome for the nether. It would be fairly common, and instead of netherrack it would be made of brimstone, a brownish yellow stone with a similar texture to netherrack’s. Fire here is blue like on soul sand, and lava is blue as well. Brimstone itself can be crafted with nether bricks in the same recipe as red nether brick and it would make yellow nether brick. Instead of quartz, we have nether anthracite, a super fuel with three times the power of coal. In real life anthracite is a harder and more powerful form of coal, so it would look similar to coal but maybe with some bluish tint. Brimstone could also be used to craft a super furnace, which cooks everything 50% faster, and everything nether related 150% faster, such as nether quartz ore, netherrack, etc. If you want backup for all the blue fire and lava and whatnot just search “Indonesian blue volcano” and you can see the beautiful blue lava flowing over the sulfur.

    I like the blue lava and fire, and think that lava should be blue in the soul sand valley as well! Please use separate posts for your other ideas. I would appreciate it a lot.

    Great idea! Hopefully this will make its way into the game.

    Maybe Mojang should make the blue lava a little bit more darker than water so people won’t mistake it as such.😉

    What if lava had different colors in all the different biomes? Like water does in the overworld. And, of course the lava could have a gradient in between two biomes. Imagine if orange lava from a Nether Waste flowed into the Brimstone Caves (with the new 3d biomes). Would it go from orange to red to magenta to purple to blue? That would look so cool!

    yesssssss love the idea. but the furnace is a bit op how about just 25% faster and a direct upgrade from the regular furnace, could also include the new netherite.

    So to everyone here, I made this prior to the snapshot released so of course I have new ideas and such and might add onto this soon

    Brimstone should generate in or near warped forests! Since we know, "blue fire", (a.k.a soul fire) will be in the nether update, blue lava would fit as well! The blue lava would obviously be called, "soul lava".

    Ha I thought the blue fire was so cool I set it as my wallpaper.

    I love your concept!

    Could be combined with this idea: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360057244952-Sulfuric-Wastes-Biome

    A new blue-fire slug like creature could be there as well. It would have two front legs, and tail only, it also have a big shell, which if you shear it or kill it, it could be used to make an upgrade for shields. Giving your shield  extra durability and would be less easy to break if you faced a creeper explosion.

    What if there could be brimstone lakes/rivets in warped forests

    nether anthracite should look exactly like coal except it has blue glowing veins similar to crying obsidian and/or warped and crimson stems

    love it, but maybe tone it down a little. the super coal should be slightly rare and brimstone shouldn't cover the whole cave. otherwise I love it! also maybe to separate it from the SS Valley you could make the fire purple because this is a fantasy game anyway, and maybe limit the furnace to just nether items? that should balance things as the nether is fairly easy to access.

    I love this idea and how detailed it is. Api Biru definitely does suit what you said, but for anthracite it'll probably be in the education edition.
