18nether
by peashootor
18nether adds six extra nether dimensions to Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 on Forge, each linked to the main world through a far shorter route than the standard nether.
What it does
Players who want long-distance travel in survival can reach the new dimensions by traveling through a nether portal, and each one covers a compressed distance compared with the overworld. The mod uses a layered structure based on the eight hells in Buddhist scriptures, with the lowest level named Avici Hell, and it presents the result as a small, limited hell experience without the End.
Because the dimensions are compressed, one block in a hell dimension corresponds to a much larger area in the main world, so a player can cross the map far faster and reach the world border sooner than in a standard world. The design is intended for players who find a regular world too large or who want a more confined setting.
18nether is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and requires Multi World Borders to be installed alongside it.
Key features
Six additional nether dimensions
Six new dimensions are added, each one a separate nether-style world that players can enter through portals.
Compressed travel distances
Each new dimension scales distances down, so crossing a hell layer covers far more ground in the overworld than in the standard nether.
Progression rewards
Six new progress advancements are granted when a player enters the hell dimensions for the first time.
Limited world size
The dimensions are small and bounded, offering a confined setting rather than the open-ended nether.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want compressed nether-style dimensions for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, with Multi World Borders installed alongside.

Add to 6 nethers and everyone is 1/8 of former for easy long-distance travel. The Buddhist scriptures say that there are eight hells underground, and the lowest level is the Abi Hell, also known as the "Hell without End".
