There needs to be a way out if you start in the Nether

[JoeEnderman]

All we need is a source of food, a source of wood, some tools, probably a new ore, and a way to make an exit portal. Food and wood could be solved by the mushroom trees me and the other guy are working on. Tools and ore could be Murexium or Veridium. Murexium would be deep purple. Veridium would be dark green. Or Xenium. Xenium would probably be light blue? To contrast with Mithril? Portals require Mese to ignite, so maybe a Mese crater rarely? Or add Mese to stronghold chests? Or, maybe a ruined portal generates rarely? I need feedback, but I can add most of these features I think.

This is what Murexium could look like.

[JoeEnderman]

That's easy enough. But hard to perfect.

I know the theory, but trust me, it looks terrible in practice. Not sure if it is just how Minetest overlays stuff, or what. A handmade texture could fix this issue, but it would be inconsistent with the normal way ores are made for Minetest.
