Actually, it gets colder first, then hatter. So the deeper areas should have an effect like Forodwaith, seeing as it's to far from the sun to be warmed, & also to far from the core to be hot, or even moderatly warm. This is a reasonable line of logic, but I’m worried it would make this place too much like another Utumno with ice, obsidian, and fire levels. That is not the idea.

Go down in the earth's crust about a half mile. It'll be very cold because the is no source of heat. the surface is warmed by the sun, while the deep crust/mantle is warmed by the core. The in between area has no heat source, & therefore would be cold. I didn't say it would be like Utumno, just that it would be cold. Also, it would be far deeper where it starts heating up again, so it would be coldest at the bottom of the dimension.

For the humanoid species, I could see something down there, but with all the large carnivores/hostiles, I don't see any civilizations. Um, hello? Did any one see this? The extreme pressure from the mountains above produces enough heat to keep temperatures above freezing. Also, Minecraft is much smaller in scale than earth, so the bottom of this dimension would be probably at least 3 miles deep, not just 1/2 mile deep. Did some research, & it's actually 75 degrees F 3 miles deep, not hot enough to fry you (110+ F)... Therefor, there would be no frost or heat effect. Well, I believe that settles it. Hot core or no hot core, there will be no heat damage.
