Betternether Neoforge FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find Nether Cities?
Nether Cities generate as massive rare structures throughout the dimension at various heights. Explore widely and listen for unique sounds, or look for the distinctive dark architecture rising from the landscape. They contain valuable loot but are heavily populated with dangerous mobs.
What's the best way to start a Nether plant farm?
Collect seeds and saplings from the new Nether plants you find while exploring, then plant them in soul sand or similar blocks in a safe area away from mobs. Many plants require specific light levels or proximity to lava, so experiment with placement to match their natural biome conditions.
Why isn't my 
Fireruby Pickaxe smelting ores anymore?
If your Fireruby Pickaxe has the Silk Touch enchantment, it will no longer smelt ores automatically—this is intentional balance. Remove Silk Touch if you want auto-smelting, or use the pickaxe without that enchantment for mining.

Nether Brewing Stand faster?
The Nether Brewing Stand in this mod brews potions twice as fast as a normal brewing stand. Simply use it as you would a regular brewing stand and your potions will be ready in half the time.

New biomes generate vertically throughout the Nether dimension, so you'll encounter them at different heights as you explore. Each biome has unique plants, colors, and mobs, so descend and ascend to discover the full variety.
Can I grow Nether plants in the Overworld?
Most Nether plants are designed for the Nether's unique conditions and won't grow properly in the Overworld. Keep your farms in the Nether where the plants naturally thrive.
What do I do with all these new plants I'm finding?
New plants can be used in fresh food recipes, crafted into building blocks, or grown in your own farm for renewable resources. Check your crafting recipes to see what each plant can become.
Why are Golden Vines and Hook Mushrooms not dropping when I break them?
This mod fixes block drop issues for these items, so they should drop correctly now. If they're not dropping, ensure you're using the latest version of the mod.
Is this mod compatible with other Nether mods?
Compatibility depends on which other mods you're using—some may conflict with Betternether's biome generation or new mobs. Test your modpack carefully and check community forums if you experience issues with specific mod combinations.
How do I fight the Naga safely?
The Naga is a dangerous new monster, so bring strong armor and weapons before engaging. Fight in open spaces where you have room to dodge, and use ranged attacks if possible to keep distance.
