If you want to propose a change to an existing structure (like villages), or add something brand new in a current dimension or biome, this is the place.

Subterranean Update Concept: The Bedrock Citadel

We propose a 3-tier concentric vertical citadel built halfway below the standard lava sea level of the Nether.

 

Generation & Entry

- Biome Anchor: Spawns beneath Warped Forests, sitting on the bottom bedrock floor. Blue fungi naturally repel Hoglins, creating a tactical safety zone.

- Ceiling Entrance: An inverted entry spire generates into the upper bedrock roof, hanging down through open airspace. Spire and city thresholds feature reinforced visual security checkpoints.

- Fluid Check: Generation aborts if a lava lake intersects bounds to prevent flooding.

 

Material Gradient & Lore

Tracks the downfall of the Ancient Builders fleeing the Warden. Trapped in a war against full-Netherite Piglins—which depleted local veins and left Ancient Debris scattered across the dimension—the builders engineered industrial Hoglin farming traps inside the Warped Forest for food, wearing Hoglin teeth as trophy jewelry. 

 

The fortress features a functional underfloor copper pipe and floor vent cooling grid to survive the extreme bedrock heat, utilizing a strict material gradient:

- Tier 1: Copper-cooled Nether, Red, and Cracked Bricks mark where civil resources collapsed.

- Tier 2: Blackstone Bricks housing mini-boss gates.

- Tier 3: Precious, hoarded Overworld Stone Bricks and Deepslate Tiles.

 

Tier 3 seals entryways, applying Mining Fatigue VII. Clearing it requires a milk bucket; otherwise, exit requires death, victory, or Stasis Chamber.

WAIVER: Mojang has full rights to use/alter mechanics/lore.

    🛠️Structure and Architecture Implementation Checklist

     

    To help developers quickly visualize how this environment loops together across world generation and asset profiling, here is the official structural reference directory:

     

    • Vertical Bounds: Hardcode baseline generation to sit on native bottom bedrock and peak midway below lava sea level.
    • Roof Anchor: Inverted entrance spire generates directly into upper bedrock ceiling, hanging into lower airspace.
    • Choke Points: Feature reinforced visual security checkpoints at spire entrance and main city threshold.
    • Biome Pacing: Hardcode to Warped Forests to utilize vanilla blue fungi Hoglin repulsion logic as a lore anchor.
    • Fluid Check: Enforce check; abort if fluid lava lakes intersect coordinate bounds.
    • Thermal Grid: Underfloor copper pipe network feeding into exposed ground cooling vents.
    1. Civ T1 Palette: Standard, Red, and Cracked Nether Bricks with decorative copper accents.
    2. Mil T2 Palette: Polished, Cracked, and Chiseled Polished Blackstone Bricks.Royal T3 Palette: Overworld Stone Bricks, Deepslate Tiles, and Mossy/Cracked variants.
    3. Gauntlet: T1-T2 mini-boss gates; T3 chamber applies Mining Fatigue VII aura.
    • Arena Bypass: Allow players to cure Mining Fatigue VII with a milk bucket to mine out.
    • Trophy Lore: Render item frames showing builders wearing Hoglin teeth/tusks as jewelry.
    • History: Base ruins on a retaliatory Piglin war triggered by the builders' Hoglin farming.
