Yung's nether fortresses really helps make nether fortresses actually interesting and visually appealing. Nether fortresses were barely touched in the nether update and this helps make nether fortresses feel more in line with what the rest of the nether has to offer.

The integration with create that this mod provides is something I've never seen a structure mod do before. Working drawbridges are a really neat feature that really help make these fortresses come alive.

One issue I do have with this mod though is the amount of loot that can often be gleaned from these structures; being able to just steal the create stuff (which there is often a lot of) means often the cool mechanics get trashed because of how worthwhile collecting it is. I'm not exactly sure how this problem would be solved entirely, but reducing the excessive amount of shafts and gearboxes used would reduce the haul and help with performance. I don't think this issue is particularly major and people who find stealing the loot too overpowered can discipline themselves in single player.

Overall really nice improvement to the nether, would recommend!
