What if bastions were reworked to make netherite smithing templates more difficult to obtain? The structure would act as a counterpart to the ice dungeon, assuming that's where you get cryoferrite.
Each variant is redesigned to have more open areas, separated rooms, and overall be more coherent than the current messy cubes, while still keeping the dilapidated appearance.
Additionally, there is a rare spawn for piglin brutes that holds a gilded cutlass and wears some netherite armor, functioning as a miniboss.
In the heart of each structure, there could also be one loot chest with a guaranteed smithing template.

Replace the nether with terramity

Netherite needs to be easier if anything
It’s so miserable to get
Cryoferrite is easier in general. The smithing template is an early game boss drop

Maybe netherite is more consistently obtained from chests but the structure is more difficult which would remove tediousness/randomness and make it more skill-based
But I just realized there are a lot of bastion structure files so idk how feasible a redesign is

Yeah and I don’t want to remake vanilla content. It’s just not in the scope of what Terramity is
