Blocks of coal within Nether fossils

The new Nether fossil structures should have a chance to generate with random blocks of coal, like how coal ore generates within Overworld fossils.

This would create a method of obtaining coal in the Nether apart from raiding fortresses, which would complete the alternate, more challenging progression path that seems to be developing.

It would also be nice to have more of a reason to take on the soul sand valley, as the combination of ghasts, skeletons, and soul sand makes the biome very challenging without much of a reward.

  Yeah I also recommend that they just make the nether fossils the same as the ones that generate in the overworld. This creates a cool lore as well as better looking fossils to come accross. The coal is needed because theres no other reason to go into soulsand valley.

  I was also thinking like, since we know fossils are in the nether, it makes sense that ores are there. If not coal blocks then nether ore, that drops coal similair to how gold ores drop nuggets.

  I think that making the nether a cooler place for mining would be super cool. It also gives the nether some more longevity, and gives you less reason to leave. I think making the nether a self sufficient place just aw man, the story vibes. the story vibes
