Additions[]

Nether Changes[]

New nether biomes:

Flaming Forest: An orange biome made up of mostly Flaming Nylium. In here you can find new trees made from Flaming Logs & Flaming Leaves. The logs can be made into planks, slabs, stairs, fences etc. There are also small lava pools in this biome.


Infernal Wastes: A variant of the nether wastes where the ground is made from a new block called Infernal Netherack. There are big lava lakes and some small obsidian pillars in this biome.


Fungus Jungle: A brownish biome where the main ground block is Fungy Nylium. You can find new funguy/mushroom trees with vines in thsi biome too.

New nether mobs[]

Flame Allay: A yellow allay variant found in the nether. It's based of MCL.

Netherman: Like Enderman But No Water Damage, Can't Griefing, Only Spawns In Lava and Fortress and Having Enderophobic (Fear Of The End Dimension)

Netherite Shulker: Like Shulker But Having Thalassophobic and Aquaphobic (Fear Of Water)

New Nether Structures[]

The Nether City: It's like an end city, but it's flipped upside down, underground and in the nether. In here you will find a lot of Piglins, Piglin Commanders, and a new boss: The Wildfire.


Netherwhite


Netherwhite is a new ore like ancient debris that is found in the nether. It's like netherite, but much rarer, stronger and with a white color. Upon mining it will drop Netherwhite Scraps. You can then combine 4 of these scraps with gold ingots to get the Netherwhite Ingot. You can then apply these new ingots to diamond equipment to turn it into Netherwhite Armor & Tools. They are slightly better then netherite.
