Created Tuesday 09 February 2021

There are two kinds of villagers that live in the Nether. Those that live in the warped biome and those that live in the crimson biome. They fell into the Nether long before, and evolved to survive their new home. The two villages don't like each other–like the Hatfields-McCoys. Their evolution makes them stronger than normal villagers, able to mostly take care of themselves in the harsh environment of the Nether. They use the materials they gather from their respective forests to create tools to farm and survive.

Warped villagers have greenish tints on their bodies. They look like villagers with the warped colors.

Crimson villagers have red tints on their bodies, similar to the warped villagers.

Nether villagers grunt, in a macho way.

The warped defender defends the village from nether mobs. The warped defender specializes in defense, using a large spiked shield (thorns) and an axe to protect himself and the village.

The crimson defender defends their village from nether mobs. The crimson defender specializes in offence, and is very aggresive. He uses a spear (trident) to fight at long range.

The defenders are made using a work station–don't know what yet.

The village has access to gold and warped/crimson wood. So, they make their tools out of those things. They've learned how to treat the gold and wood to create something with unique properties.

• Pick
• Axe
• Shovel
• Hoe
• Armour

Villagers trade using rubies in the Nether, rather than emeralds. Just like emeralds, rubies can be stored as an item, or combined to create a ruby block. Like emerald blocks, rubies will be decorative. (If possible, we'll make it so people can use ruby blocks as the foundation for beacons.)

Villagers live on nether-ish foods that can only be found in crimson/warped villages.

Villagers will trade things that you can find in the nether, including crying obsidian and the like. Also their tools and the new nether food.

Something that supports their separate defenders, similar to iron golems.

Warped/Crimson villages will be made using blocks you can find in their respective biomes.

There need to be more than one model of house for the villages. At least three, five is better.

Warped houses are low to the ground, squat. Hobbit-like. They have to be low so that Endermen don't teleport inside, so nothing higher than 2.5 blocks. This is part of why the defenders are more defensive.

Crimson houses are more spindley, high enough to keep out hoglins, which is why they prefer spears and the like.

Overworld villages have churches, nether villages will have shrines or something like it

Villages need to be (mostly) surrounded by walls of some kind, otherwise it will be very hard to keep them alive.

This is where the defenders sleep, theoretically. It's at the entrance/exit of the village.
