Add a spawn type where both players spawn in the nether instead of in the overworld.

Benefits:
- Very unique seed type that's likely to create a lot of new and interesting strategies
- Completely changes the order that you complete goals

Drawbacks:
- May be inaccessible to lower skilled players, as they're more likely to die and also likely don't know Bastion routes
- You could restrict Nether spawns to only Amethyst or higher, but restricting seed types based on rank feels kinda boring imo
- A lot of matches may become races to get to the Overworld first
- I personally don't think this is too big of an issue, since there's still early game goals that can be done and you can get progress towards a lot of goals on the way. You can also argue that losing the race to the Overworld is somewhat of a draft issue, since you could've drafted more goals that are in the Nether or that take longer in the Overworld. Having a race to leave the Nether is kinda cool anyways
- This could also be fixed via the goal filtering, making it more likely for goals that are completable without leaving the Nether to appear on Nether seeds

The filtering for that should be a little strict (RP, bastion, & crimson/warped).
But it's a really good idea, makes DraftOut more unique & exciting :D

Having a 'leave the nether' goal in these seedtypes would be fun

i think there'd already be enough of an incentive to leave the nether

There is an 'enter nether' goal, so it makes sense for a parallel?

You can kinda do it with commands in private rooms. For some reason though the /setworldspawn command is bugged in the nether and sets the worldspawn to around y0, so if you ever die without a respawn anchor you'll respawn underground.

Probably just change the goal to use nether portal

this seems like a thing for private lobbies, in fact, i think u can do this with the commands feature they have
