The problem with death is that it doesn’t fit when trying to play Minecraft realistically. Death is a necessary thing that arises when a creeper comes too close, but realistic (permanent) death is simply an annoying gameplay mechanic when you’ve spent thirty hours advancing to the Bronze Age. My solution for the TFC is inspired by a Game Boy Advance game I remember, called: “Tom and Jerry: Infurnal Escapeâ€. I remember the game being terrible for a ten-year old accustomed to Pokemon Sapphire Edition, but the gameplay mechanic I distinctly remember is how it dealt with death. ChickenBot on gamefaqs.com explained: “An interesting thing about this game is that when you die, you appear in the Underworld and have to locate Tom's spirits. You find all three, and you get the chance to continue your progress through the game.†My solution for TFC’s death problem is to re-appropriate the Nether and turn it into a randomly generating obstacle course where three “Keys†have to be found before you can respawn in the real world. I don’t really see how the Nether would serve any other purpose in this mod—portals aren’t very realistic. This solution would make the game harder and encourage people to be careful, but not be as ridiculous as waiting ten minutes or deleting your save file. This solution would explain death as an illusion where you never truly die; rather you make like Ash Ketchum and scurry to the closest Pokemon Center… or bed, dropping your items along the way. The Hellish world you travel through is simply a nightmare that haunts you into taking life more seriously and watching your back more cautiously.
