Renewable Netherrack, perhaps drops from Striders?

Netherrack may be common, but to get them in large quantities you'd have to destroy the environment, which is undesirable. They can be good building blocks, and essential for nether plant farms too. I recommend that Striders drop Netherrack, perhaps the Warped Nylium kind as they like Warped Fungus. If so, they can be bred using the fungi, creating a Netherrack farm. Other renewable methods are fine, too!

    I think Piglin bartering would be the best way to do this.  The Piglins have a nether brick barter, so just replace that with Netherrack (or Crimson Nylium), which can then be smelted into nether bricks anyways. Now netherrack itself is renewable while changing the loot table minimally, simple solution.

    I'm thinking of making Striders more useful, as they currently have a very limited, niche use. Striders being bred for Netherrack would make it a unique farm mob from the Nether. But any renewable method is fine, so long as it's easy. Mojang often ignores renewability of common blocks like Dirt and Netherrack, making them very difficult or even impossible to renew. I really don't want to destroy the environment to get them in large amounts, it'll quickly look ugly.
