Surviving a Nether-Only Challenge with This Mod

Getting Started

This mod makes Nether-only survival viable by providing access to essential ores you'd normally need to visit the Overworld for. Your first priority is establishing a safe base and locating ore deposits.

Early Game Steps

1. Build shelter immediately – Construct a basic base away from lava and hostile mobs.

2. Gather coal ore – Mine netherite coal ore to fuel furnaces and torches for light and smelting.

3. Find iron ore – Locate and mine netherite iron ore, then smelt it for tools and armor.

4. Upgrade your gear – Use the iron to craft better tools for mining other ores more efficiently.

Mid-Game Progression

5. Mine diamond and emerald ore – These enable advanced crafting and trading with villagers (if you've brought them to the Nether).

6. Collect redstone and lapis – Gather these for enchanting and technical builds.

7. Establish farms – Create food sources like nether wart farms to sustain yourself long-term.

With systematic ore gathering, you can achieve full self-sufficiency without leaving the Nether.
