Been playing the game for around 4-5 months, so I'm still relatively new but wanted to give a real-world example of how this absolutely ruined my game. I had started a new world and intentionally did not go to the Nether a month or so ago in anticipation of 1.16. When I finally upgraded and stepped through the portal, I found myself up a ~15 block hill smack dab in the middle of a Soul Sand Valley. There were 15-20 skeletons and 3-4 ghasts that immediately set to work on me. I was being shot from every direction and the arrow knock back effect was pushing me constantly into soul fire, setting me alight. I had no idea which direction my portal even was, and all I could see was a massive lava lake I kept getting bounced towards. It took around 30-45 seconds to get it under control (just barely) and I was hounded the entire way back up the hill and barely made it through the portal, only to find FOUR skeletons that made it back into my base with me. By the time I finished cleaning those up and took inventory, my fully enchanted set of diamond armor which was at 100% durability when I went through was now at 25% - all pieces of it. After LESS than one minute in that disaster of a biome.
I copied my survival world and went into it in creative to take a look around. I have ZERO other biomes within a 300 block radius; one within ~350 blocks and most are at least 400 blocks out. So I have two options: either wait for this disaster to be fixed or tunnel way down from my portal to level 10 or so and branch out in caves from there. And these wouldn't be little caves - 400 blocks on average. Sounds fun, right?
And BTW - this is on normal difficulty. I was very much looking forward to this upgrade, but this one thing has completely ruined it. Please fix ASAP.
