Description

BetterNether (Unofficial Forge Port) — Minecraft 1.20.1

    This is an unofficial Forge 1.20.1 port of Paulev’s Fabric mod “BetterNether”. It includes various bug fixes, optimizations and a few small balance/quality tweaks.

How this port differs from the original

  • Loader/platform: Forge (upstream is Fabric), TerraBlender for world generation
  • Minecraft version: 1.20.1
  • Changes: includes bug fixes and small balance/quality tweaks (see list below)
  • Support: this is an unofficial port; upstream authors do not maintain it

Fixes and changes in this Forge 1.20.1 port

  • Added config to disable biomes, structures and features
  • Added compatibility with the TerraBlender library and mods that use it (Luminous Nether, Garden of the Dead, Biomes O' Plenty, Oh The Biomes We've Gone, etc.)
  • Add Ruby item and block tags for better compatibility (thanks RedCraft86)
  • Fix Stripped Rubeus Log/Bark textures (thanks RedCraft86)
  • Only use Bark wood variant for trees (thanks RedCraft86)
  • Improved music system (thanks RedCraft86)
  • 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)
  • Change (suggestion): new name for moss cover in the Russian translation (thanks happykgit)
  • Change (suggestion): terracotta has been replaced with smooth basalt in flooded deltas (thanks Eletoast)
  • Change: lava can now pass through stalactites
  • 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)

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
