Mod Suggestions: Nether things for better Blaze Origin

[KrystalDelusion]

More food in the Nether: Edible Nether Wart
More Nether content: Comfortable Nether
Ores in the Nether so that the overworld isn't needed for common things like iron: Basic Nether Ores
Extra tools to bridge the gap between wood and higher tools: More Vanilla Tools

Problem: At present, it is super variable as to whether the Blaze is a viable Origin. It basically requires spawning in or very near to one of the Nether Forest biomes in order to get the wood needed to mine blocks. Otherwise exploration is extremely difficult you have no blocks, no tools, and no armour. You are immune to fire damage which means blazes, fire, and lava are not problems, but without some way to prevent mob spawns survivability is super low. Not sure how to resolve this, tried looking for packs that do Nether starts but they don't do anything about it...
