Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Nether Air

So this isn’t very well-known, but Minecraft has different types of Air blocks. Air, Cave Air, and Void Air. But I have an idea - Nether Air. Nether Air functions exactly like regular air and replaces all air in the Nether. When a block is broken in the Nether, it is replaced with Nether Air. The reason why this would be implemented into Minecraft is because of Hoglins and Piglins. Currently when these mobs enter the Overworld they shake a bit and become Zombie Piglins or Zoglins. This would be changed to happen when these mobs come in contact with regular Overworld Air. When they come into contact with Nether Air, this doesn’t happen. This means that Nether Air could be somehow contained inside of a structure in the Overworld, and if a Nether portal is placed inside of it, Piglins and Hoglins wouldn’t transform when they enter the Overworld into the Nether Air containment chamber. Additionally a new block could be added to create Nether Air in the Overworld - a resurrection of the Nether Reactor maybe? Nether Air could be taken a step further - Crimson and Warped Fungi cannot be planted in Overworld Air, and can only be grown in Nether Air, meaning that to grow these fungi (and by extension their Huge counterparts) the player must build a Nether Air containment chamber and grow them in there.

    Is there really three types of air in Minecraft, is it just a lighting effect or animation? I haven't seen any mechanic for this in the game as in the set block command it only has air not any other types, I play PE so it might be different but I don't know. The idea is cool but, i think it would require creating a complicated are mechanic which Minecraft doesn't have.

    Ok well if there is already a coding in game that works with the holgins and piglins, why change it? Another thing you failed to consider is that air is unobtainable in all gamemodes, even with commands. Why would you want to add something to the game that you can't ever get? Besides if you want piglins and hoglins in the overworld, there is a command that can do that. That is also too complicated of a concept. Minecraft is meant to be simple. And I can't count for the different air blocks, but even if that is the case it is because they have different property to them. Air is normal classic air, cave air lets the game know when to play cave sounds, and void air kills you.
