the end portal does not need lava beneath to work, also if you can make it to the nether, you don't need that initial bucket

Yes, i tried to get as much diversity into the map as possible with vanilla mechanics. Ocean monuments are not possible otherwise, thus no prismarine stuff or sponges etc...

It is still a long way and you can't do much down there.

I know scarcity and having to watch out for every single block not to fall down makes a big part of the game, but i thought if people don't have to reset the map and get more content instead that it would be nice. Sorry if that broke your experience.
