Minecraft world design (lemmy.world)

I have been working on a minecraft mod pack that has a mechanic where the player can fly between different worlds via the elytra. eg. the overworld -> moon -> mars etc. I have a few different directions I can take Mars' design:

Dead world with remnants of the extinct martian civilization. Environmental storytelling used to convey a mystery to be solved by the player
HG Wells' war of the worlds inspired with the martian statues referencing their 3 colored pupiled eyes on a villager model and red weed plants growing underground that infect plants like trees and spread on corrupted dirt (basically dirt that has had blood within 4 blocks of it) and eventually turns white and dies if its in one of the overworld dimensions
harmless/benevelant living martians based on the barsoon series

Or some combination of those

Thoughts?

Thanks.

The space part of the pack is based on an old DnD campaign I was in where the whole solar system was breathable and accessible without the need for advanced technology. i.e basically medieval steampunk. The planets and moons are inspired by old scifi stories before modern observations. eg. Venus is a jungle/swamp planet, Mars either has or had intelligent life underground, space carp under the ice of europa, a moon orbiting a gas giant that manages to sustain life via volcanic vents providing warmth far from the sun etc. There is A LOT more to it but this is what the player can expect after killing the enderdragon allows the elytra to be obtained.
