Hearths — Guide

Natural Decorations

Alongside the structures, Hearths adds a lot of ambient world generation that makes the Nether landscape richer and more varied:

• Towering netherrack and blackstone pillars rising from the terrain.
• Clusters of tall crimson and warped fungi.
• Patches of nether rock and blackstone.
• Small lakes of lava, magma, and netherrack, plus scattered fire.

These touches blend in with the vanilla Nether so the new content feels like a natural extension of the dimension rather than something bolted on.

Tips

• Explore freshly generated Nether chunks - the structures and decorations only appear in new terrain, so wander away from areas you have already visited.
• Check each tower's interior for blaze rooms and hidden chests, but be ready for the hazards inside.
• Look for the crimson towers in Crimson Forests and the warped towers in Warped Forests.

Nether Structures

The centerpiece features are its towers and spirals, which generate as small dungeon-like builds you can climb and explore:

Crimson Tower

Found in the Crimson Forest, a tall spire built from nether bricks and crimson-themed blocks, with a latticed, multi-floor design and interior hazards and loot such as blaze rooms and hidden chests.

Warped Tower

The Warped Forest counterpart, built in teal warped materials with the same tall multi-floor tower design.

Netherrack Spiral

Out in the Nether Wastes you also come across netherrack spiral structures that add variety to the open terrain.

The towers double as points of interest and as small challenges when you drop into them looking for loot.
