For its functionality it would act like a block like the beacon but smaller. Once you built the Obelisk type structure holding the reactor you would then place a Netherite star into the reactors core.
A Netherite star would be crafted using one nether star and a ancient debris. Upon placing the star into the core a new pillager type raid would start.
The Nether Raid! aggro Zombified Piglins could spawn as well as other nether mobs. The Final wave could spawn a new boss type mob,The Zombified Piglin Chief.
Upon defeating the Chief he has a chance to drop a ancient key which would be able to open one ancient Nether chest in the nether. Ancient Nether chests would generate in the new piglin bastions and can only be opened with the ancient keys. These chest can contain a number of rare items similar to the end cities. But could also contain un-craftable nether exclusive items similar to the elytra.
These items could be ancient versions of weapons we dont currently have in the game Such as the Ancient Nether Mace or the Ancient Nether Glaive. These items would have durability but similar to the eyltra don't completely break just lose functionality and can be repaired with ancient debris.
This would be a great opportunity to add back yet another nostalgic block and even introduce a new locked chest mechanic!
