About this Mod

This is Soulful Nether, a mod that is workin' to upgrade the nether

What does it do?

Soulful Nether adds a Fright Forest, the Fright Forest is a netherwart forest based in the Soul Sand Valley;

The second current biome is the Ashen Deltas, its what would happen if the basalt deltas were based in souls (Looks like ive got a theme starting),

The third biome is the Gloomy Glades, a Warped Forest sub-biome with a yellow/cyan theme and no souls to be found

Soulful Nether also adds Soulroots! you get them from planting beetroots in Soul Sand/Soul Soil or Lichoss

And our first mob; the Bone Wyrm!

Will you port to X version?

I most likely wont be porting my mod for a while, though it's something I'm interested in doing

What are you planning?

well, I'm planning on making compat in the future for stuff like more Soulroot Foods!

Compat!

Currently the existing compat is:

Farmers Delight (adding Soulroot Crates of every type)

Jadens Nether Expansion (adding Frostbitten Soulroots and Frostbitten Popsicles)
