NetherOres Mod — Reference

Mobs

The mod adds one primary mob to the Nether to increase the danger of subterranean exploration.

Hellfish

Hellfish are the Nether's equivalent to Silverfish. They are smaller, redder, and significantly more dangerous due to their environment.

Behavioral Notes: * Hellfish are completely immune to fire and lava damage. * They have a smaller hitbox than standard mobs, making them difficult to hit in the cramped tunnels of the Nether. * When one Hellfish is attacked, it can alert other Hellfish hidden in nearby Netherrack to emerge and join the fight.

Blocks: Nether Ores

Nether Ores appear as standard ore textures embedded in a Netherrack background. Unlike Overworld ores, they always drop the ore block itself when mined, regardless of the tool used (unless the tool is incapable of mining that tier).

Processing and Recipes

The primary benefit of Nether Ores is their high yield. They are intended to be processed through multiple steps to maximize output.

Smelting

Smelting a Nether Ore in a standard furnace will yield two of the corresponding Overworld ore blocks. These Overworld blocks can then be smelted again or processed in machines for further gains.

Grinding (Macerator / Pulverizer)

Processing Nether Ores directly in a machine like the Pulverizer (Thermal Expansion) or Macerator (IC2) is even more efficient, typically yielding four to five dusts per Nether Ore.
