Overview

Better Nether (mod id betternether) is a large nether overhaul. It fills the nether with more than twenty new biomes, each with its own terrain, plants, fog color and atmosphere, and layers survival content on top: new mobs, structures, foods, building materials and equipment, so you can live in the nether without ever returning to the surface.

The original mod is by paulevsGitch and the BetterX team (quiqueck). The code is released under the MIT license (the bundled art assets carry the team's CC BY-NC-SA terms), and this build's source remains available under the same terms.

Better Nether requires two libraries from the same team: WorldWeaver and BCLib - both are linked in the post's Requires box.
