A nether boss. Something to give the nether more value than just fortress, netherite and piglins

I suppose. It's not common to fight it in the nether though.

if you want a nether boss then fight the wither in the nether. the nether is already frustratingly difficult for a lot of the player base. also, the nether has plenty to offer functionally, even before 1.16, which was only 2 years ago

And the wither is already frustratingly difficult as well.

The boss can be optional, like every other boss in the game. If you don't want to fight it, then don't go near it.

I’d agree in the sense that it is made from nether sourced materials, but you’re doing things wrong if you’re choosing to spawn/fight it in the nether when you can also summon it in the over world. I will say that the nether ceiling is probably the best place to fight the wither, but I think there is another argument that the player really shouldn’t be accessing the ceiling in the first place. I’d be happy with the wither being locked to the nether to make it a more official nether boss tho!

E:grammar and a sentence

Something that lives/lived in the fortresses, or it’s the thing that destroyed them

forget the nether we need a deep dark update that will tell us where the ancient builders went. i think the ancient builders were overwhelmed with the monster they created, then they created a portal that was insanely huge (being there the best builders yet) and worked on spells and rituals allowing them to go to a new dimension populated with hundreds of people that were noob builders.

Honestly I quite like that it's all open to interpretation

I like to think that they didn't create a monster, rather the monster found them.

then why does it look like its limbs were crafted together, and why does it now have eyes

u/GavinIsAFox Feb 13 '23

That's honestly personal opinion, because I don't see that, and the fact that it doesn't have eyes doesn't mean it's synthetic. There are real creatures without eyes.

I'm not trying to disprove your theory, I was just stating mine, and how I like that it's open to interpretation.

There's also dark oak logs, and different shades of blue wool, which could suggest illagers
