Travel Farther Using Crying Obsidian Portals

A good use for crying obsidian could be for nether portals that can exponentially increase the distance you can normally travel using regular nether portals. For example, if you construct a nether portal using 8 crying obsidian, that will allow you to travel 8 blocks in the over world for every block in the nether. But let's say you wanted to travel even further, so you construct a nether portal using 16 crying obsidian. That would allow you to travel 16 blocks in the over world for every 1 block in the nether. This pattern could continue depending on how many crying obsidian the player is able to collect: 1:8 1:16 1:32 1:64 And so on. This would solve many issues in survival mode where a player wants access to extremely distant biomes from a home base, without breaking the game (assuming crying obsidian is very rare)

    Well that's just it. Crying Obsidian isn't that rare. Atleast, that's what I think. Crying Obsidian can only be obtained by bartering with Piglins (new mob) and I'm pretty sure it is a 1 out of 3 chance.

    I like this idea, in the current world I'm playing in I found a great spot in the overworld, but the corresponding nether is very boring. Even if the crying obsidian is not that rare it could make for an interesting addition to game having the possibility to travel very far away.

     

    Even with the 1.16 nether additions, if your base corresponds to a boring place such as a wasteland with the only neighbour being a basalt delta without bastions, the nether becomes very boring and forces you to go over the top of the nether to move around

    This wouldn't make much sense since 1 block in the nether = 8, then suddenly changing it to 16 would mean that the entire nether would need to be restructured, although would be neat to see a new dimension...
