Deep Nether (Dark Nether)

Deep nether should be a pitch black place without light.

Accessible through crying obsidian portal.

  • Totally dark.
  • You need torches/lanterns to know where you go.
  • Changing in-game brightness is disabled.
  • Ghosts (Souls) / demons / creeperlings*. (all killable with new "holy" enchantment)
  • Much rougher terrain and more cavy than normal nether.
  • A few small ruins.
  • More Netherite ores lootable.
  • 1 random boss out of 3

*smaller and faster red creeper.

Deep nether boss should be in a big room behind a great gate.
You can find it by killing ghosts; the killed ghost leaves behind a temporary glowing mist that moves towards the gate's direction.

The boss should be more difficult than the ender dragon and the wither.

3 boss variants (ideas):

  • Ender King - Dark creature/figure with many eyes that open and close individually (his weak points?). Teleports? Covers whole ceiling with eyes all over it?
  • Nether Lord - Fiery red monster with many horns. Fire based attacks.
  • Mighty Wither - Bigger and more powerful wither with more heads.

When boss is defeated, legendary treasure chests appear with diamonds, netherite, gold, emeralds, boss specific loot, and a portal back to spawn point.

    Three things:

    1. I disagree that you should require a specific enchantment to kill the mobs.

    2. The boss could be the Hovering Inferno or alternatively a new an improved way to summon the wither (instead of waiting for 3 2.5% chances to eventually occur from killing wither skeletons).

    3. Consider the portal pertaining in some way to the Soul Sand Valley. Either you build it out of soul soil, or it can require being created inside a Soul Sand Valley. Perhaps a third option is that the Deep Nether has 4 biomes representing extreme versions of the preexisting Nether Biomes (Dark being only the one for the Soul Sand Valley).

    Though, I do agree that this is another good way to obtain netherite.

    As good as it sounds I highly doubt this will come but will hold high hopes for a second use for crying obsidian

    This sounds like a good mod, but add this to the vanilla? You are kidding, right? Hell no

    Mojang doesn't want to raise the ESRB rating of Minecraft.

    What Evan Stagl said, but I'd also add that it isn't a new dimension (i think those are big words) but a rare biome in the nether.

    This actually sounds really cool. I think adding a separate Nether realm with a new boss(s) would be an awesome feature, but I don't know if Mojang would add this; I would be a massive update and if they haven't added a separate Nether-like realm like the End's Outer Islands, I don't think they ever will...
