With the Pale Garden becoming MinecraftThe latest otherworldly biome of the Overworld, it might be time for Mojang to take a step back from the Overworld and expand the other dimensions of the game instead. Thanks in part to Mojang's new approach to smaller updates, the newest biome in Minecraft it stood out among others for its horror-like elements, such as the unique Creaking mob. However, the Pale Garden is yet another biome out of dozens MinecraftOverworld is crowded, which means Mojang should consider looking elsewhere when adding a new area to the game.
Unlike Overworld, MinecraftIts Nether dimension remains significantly smaller, with only five biomes, even after its overhaul in a previous 2020 update. As a result, it should Minecraft add a new biome to another dimension in the near future, the Nether is the perfect candidate, with the Pale Garden serving as a model for what Mojang could do. Just as the Pale Garden inserts a note of horror among MinecraftOverworld's many biomes, its interdimensional opposite, could surprise players with something welcoming and peaceful.

With another new biome added to the ever-growing world of Minecraft, it might be time to update a certain villager to help improve player exploration.
Minecraft's Pale Gardens are part of a spooky biome trend
Despite not being explicitly part of the horror genre, MinecraftIts recent biomes, such as Pale Garden and Deep Darkness, embrace the tension and anxiety inherent in the game when playing in Survival mode. This is also something the Nether does with the constant threat of hostile mobs, open lakes and pockets of lava, and an unsettling atmosphere. But ultimately, essentially, Minecraft is yet another sandbox game with an Overworld designed to immerse players and indulge their creativity.
A new Nether biome could freshen things up for Minecraft
Therefore, since MinecraftThe world of Overworld is becoming more dangerous and creepy with the introduction of biomes like the Pale Garden, Mojang could balance the game by adding its opposite to the Nether. As the opposite of the Overworld, it would be plausible for the Nether to have a new peaceful biome instead of a stress-inducing one, and could break up the five existing Nether biomes as an equally rare “oasis”. Although it could do MinecraftAdvancing its much more difficult to obtain Hot Tourist Destinations, this biome's unique appeal as a pale inverted garden could be a refreshing twist to the Nether through Mojang's smaller updates.
How a peaceful Nether biome could work in Minecraft
Based on MinecraftThe existing biomes of the Nether, a new, more peaceful biome, could either retain the same otherworldly, hellish style, or emulate parts of the Overworld. The latter could arguably be the simplest solution, taking inspiration from how the ruined portal structures in the Overworld use netherrack and magma blocks as if the Nether were flowing through the blood. By extension, a peaceful Nether biome could include trees, flowers, and hordes of the Overworld, such as birches and oaks, or common pigs, as a nod to the Nether's Piglins and Hoglins.
However, it might be more interesting if a new peaceful Nether biome adapted its subterranean aesthetic in new ways, similar to how the Pale Garden looks like an ordinary forest until players are attacked by Minecrafthis squeaky new mob. This could include parallels to the Pale Garden's eye flowers, pale oaks, and creaking hearts, allowing Mojang to add new alien woods, plants, and more to Minecraftthey are more creative players. With a list below of possible ideas for the peaceful Nether biome, the Pale Garden should be the first of many in how Mojang approaches new biomes.
- A Nether forest, where Alesi are produced naturally.
- Crystalline structures like amethyst geodes and ice peaks.
- An exclusive pond structure where water is generated naturally.
