The Calamity Dimension

After activating the ancient city's portal, you learn the mystery behind the deep dark, and the other horrific and otherworldly things found in Minecraft. You have found yourself in the most sinister realm yet, The Calamity. This dimension consists of green fog and abstract terrain that looks like the overworld cave generation was inverted.

The dimension consists of some of the hardest mobs you could ever find, skulk is everywhere, and XP will naturally become skulk without a catalyst. Some of the deadly new mobs hide in the skulk, similar to the warden, and will awaken if the player activates a shrieker. The mob that comes out would depend on the biome you're in.

This will be a nightmarish realm that will challenge even the most experienced player in unheard-of ways, and that's why the Calamity should be the dimension they find through the portal.

    My idea is that this would be the dimension where all the skulk came from, which is why there's skulk in the calamity. The ground shouldn't just be skulk. There should be enough to indicate that the place is dangerous, but also allows for biomes to be varied.

    To prevent players from sneaking all the time, there will also be mobs that don't hide in the sculk. One of these are zombie-like mobs that are pretty beefy and spawn frequently. The player will have to stop sneaking to get away from them, potentially alerting a shrieker.

    To make the shrieker mechanics even scarier, there can be a rare chance the shrieker doesn't awaken the biome-specific mob and instead awakens the warden, meaning the player will have to get away instead of fighting head-on.
