I've seen posts about renovating the nether into a nice hub but it seems like the plans weren't ever carried through. I have a couple ideas that might work to fix up the nether area, so I wanted to get some feed back about what you guys think. My plan was to make a new area for the hub at a higher Y elevation. The current nether hub we have right now is pretty messy and would be hard to transform as it is right now, so a fresh start would be easier in my opinion. To convert your portal to the new hub once it is made, the portal owner would simply rebuild a portal at the higher Y coord elevation while keeping the same X and Z coords. Afterwards, disable the portal down below and everything should link as normal. This would give players the choice to use the new hub or remain in the old one if they wished. Inactive portals would also remain intact down below while not taking up space in the new hub. There could be a passage linking the old/new hubs.
For the hub itself, I favor a simple large center chamber with 4 main tunnels going in the cardinal directions. The main chamber and the main tunnels would be decorated with the same style, but whenever a player branches off a tunnel they could decorate their tunnel as they please.
The designs for the hub could be a classic "red tunnel, green tunnel, etc." but I thought a unique twist could be a biome-themed tunnel, such as a desert tunnel with sand-based blocks or a forest themed tunnel with trees elements and leaves. Another option could be mascot tunnels, with the mascot mob in display at each tunnel. A zombie can be trapped in front of the zombie tunnel, the tunnel made to look like a dungeon, etc.
I'm curious to hear what the other members have to say!!
