Betternether Forge FAQ

Build a Nether portal as usual and enter the dimension. You'll immediately notice the new biomes and vertical terrain stacking. Start by gathering basic Nether plants and materials near your spawn, then venture deeper to find Nether Cities and dungeons.

Nether Cities are rare structures hidden throughout the dimension, so exploration is key. Look for them at various heights since the mod uses vertical biome generation—check both high floating islands and lower cavern areas. Bring good armor and weapons since they contain dangerous mobs.

You must defeat the Warden to obtain Fireruby materials, as the Sculk Catalyst no longer appears in chest loot. This means you'll need to prepare for a difficult fight before you can craft Fireruby tools and armor.

Yes, you can set up plant farms in the Nether using the new crops and plants the mod adds. Build your farm in a safe area away from mobs, and use bonemeal or natural growth to speed up harvesting.

The special Nether Brewing Stand brews potions twice as fast as the vanilla version. This makes it worth the effort to set up in your base if you use potions frequently.

Yes, lava can now flow through stalactite blocks, which changes how you need to design water and lava channels. Be careful when building near stalactites if you don't want lava spreading unexpectedly.

BetterNether has TerraBlender support, which means it's designed to work well with other major biome mods. You can safely combine it with mods that also modify world generation.

The Naga is one of the dangerous new enemies you'll encounter in dungeons and dark areas. There are other hostile mobs added by the mod as well, so always bring armor and weapons when exploring.

Yes, the mod adds many unique builder blocks and new variants of vanilla blocks. You can find these in creative mode or craft them from materials gathered in the Nether.

The mod adds significant new content, so performance depends on your system and other mods installed. The vertical biome generation and new structures may impact chunk loading, so adjust your render distance if needed.
