Minor depth expansion to Y=-96 with a brand new exclusive ore

I would like to suggest a conservative world depth expansion down to Y=-96 (adding exactly 32 blocks, which perfectly aligns with the 16-block chunk logic).
Huge vertical expansions cause severe performance drops on low-end hardware, especially older mobile devices on Bedrock Edition. Stopping at Y=-96 is a well-optimized middle ground that gives more room without harming performance.
To keep it clean and optimized, this extra 32-block layer should just extend the existing Deepslate down to the new Bedrock floor.
Instead of changing Diamond generation, Diamond peaks could remain at Y=-63. This new deep zone (Y=-64 to Y=-96) could host a brand new, exclusive ore! This would give players a massive incentive to explore the deepest dark without messing with the game's current progression or hardware stability.

    "Thank you so much for the support and for bumping the post! I actually loved the name Pocilium (Pocilium Ore). It sounds perfect for the Deepslate expansion! I'm officially adopting this name for the concept.
    My idea is that Pocilium will be an extremely rare ore. Players can combine 4 Pociliums and 4 Iron Ingots to craft a single Netherite Scrap! This gives players a high-risk, rewarding alternative to get Netherite in the Overworld. Let's make this reach the top!"
