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

Fixes and changes in this NeoForge port

• Fixed: crash when clicking on the Respawn Statue
• Fixed (datagen): the automatic tag provider only looked at blocks with the BlockTagDataProvider interface and ignored blocks with the org.betterx.wover.block.api.BlockTagProvider interface (such as BlockTerrain). As a result, runData was writing to wover:surfaces/nether/terrain only what came from other sources
• Change (suggestion): removed the Sculk Catalyst from loot tables (thanks Yukiroshi). It was too easy to obtain Fireruby gear early; now you’ll have to pay a visit to the Warden
• Change (suggestion): full translation for ru_ru.json (thanks FO13E)
• Fixed: Cincinnasite furnace does not drop when mined in 1.21 (thanks happykgit)
• Change (suggestion): new name for moss cover in the Russian translation (thanks happykgit)
• Fixed: “flying block” issue in 1.21 (thanks happykgit)
• Fixed: Golden vine does not drop in 1.21 (thanks happykgit)
• Fixed: Hook mushroom does not drop in 1.21 (thanks happykgit)
• Fixed: Giant lucis drops loot twice in 1.21 (thanks happykgit)
• Fixed: Eye Plants not dropping loot (thanks Myrrium)
• Change (suggestion): prevent the Fireruby pickaxe from smelting ores when it has the Silk Touch enchantment (thanks TimVincii)
• Fixed: Fireflies do not spawn from monster spawners (thanks nothingtown)
• Change (suggestion): changed all fire bowl blocks to use lit instead of fire (thanks Cicopath)
• Change (suggestion): Nether Brewing Stand now brews 2× faster, 200 ticks; UI progress remains correct (thanks AcaGamer5)
• Change (suggestion): Willow wood renamed to Nether Willow in all languages, with native localized wording (thanks AcaGamer5)
