Nether Curse - A new status effect

The Nether should be more challenging by adding a new status effect, which can be applied, for example, by a mob which lives in the new soul valley. The effect makes the player/mob unable to leave the Nether using a portal, forcing him to stay in the dimension. If it is applied in the Overworld, the player/mob will be transferred in the Nether without a portal in the position where it is at the moment; and it is forced to remain until the effect is applied. The effect can be applied by a potion or a tipped arrow. These potions should be end-game items, for example using a rare item as the Nether Star in the crafting (note: the Nether Star will be given back to the player).

I think this could be a good addiction to the game because there are too less Nether-related effects right now and this dimension is too easy, because a player can leave it in every moment

  Awesome idea. Forcing the player to survive in the nether adds an even more challenging character to it. Some ideas of my own:

  1. Don't teleport the player to the nether. There is probably no air at the same position in the other dimension anyways. It somehow makes portals obsolete, is confusing to inexperienced players and op in pvp. Also, this can lead to a lot of lag.
  2. Make the player attract mobs. To prevent the player from just standing still, all neutral mobs should become angry at him and maybe even increase their follow range. Ghasts should see the player through a few blocks, preventing him from hiding in a dirt house.
  3. The effect should not run out, unless the player performs a certain action (drinking milk excluded). This could be for example

  • Killing a wither skeleton
  • Killing a ghast with it's own fireball
  • Bartering a rare item with a piglin
