Getting to the Nether should require killing a Warden

Currently it is way too easy to actually get to the nether, lava and water buckets don't even make it require diamonds! I propose that in order to get to the Nether in the first place, the Warden should drop something that either upgrades your flint and steel or replaces the flint and steel in igniting the portal. This would provide a progression barrier with a sort of boss that you'd have to get creative in killing before you can get to the nether and continue the game.

    Getting to the nether isn't the challenge surviving the nether is the true challenge and its even more true because of 1.16

    I don't think this would work well, because you practically require netherite armour to fight the warden, which you can only get from going into the nether in the first place.

    This would ruin speed runs, bad Idea.

    This would really kill a lot of speedruns, drag them out for too long and doesn't make a lot of sense going off the pre-existing lore we have

    what would this add to the game as i think it would make the game harder in a way that most people would not like. the nether is a realm that is supposed to be a midgame thig not an endgame thing. the end is an endgame dimension. I think this is a bad idea as it would make the game harder overall as people would now have to wait for ender men to spawn in the overworld rather than going to a warped forest.
