About BetterNether

BetterNether makes adventures in the Nether more exciting by adding new biomes, plants, and materials. You’ll encounter new challenging monsters (like the Naga), explore dark dungeons taken over by Nether creatures, and use new tools with unique improvements to help you survive. Builders also get lots of unique blocks and additional variants of familiar vanilla blocks.

Features

• Dozens of new plants for the Nether
• New Nether mobs
• New unique biomes
• Vertical and volumetric biome system (supporting other mods and datapacks)
• Many new materials, recipes, food, tools, and items
• Ability to farm some materials using plant farms and mob farms
• Many Nether structures, including big and rare Nether Cities
• Ability to configure presence of blocks, items, structures, biomes, and plant density (and a config GUI with the ModsMenu mod)
• Integrations with some other mods
