Actually Beta Nether

by dianaisnthere

Actually Beta Nether replaces the Nether generator with the Beta one, so players who want the older dimension can explore it in existing worlds.

What it does

Actually Beta Nether is a fork of Beta Nether. It takes out newer ores, mobs, biomes and structures from the Nether and generates the dimension with the Beta world generator instead. The mod works either side of a connection, and neither side needs it. Moderner Beta is required, and the author suggests pairing the mod with Nostalgic Tweaks and Golden Days for a closer match. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 1.20 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Beta-style Nether

    The Nether is generated with the Beta world generator, giving it the older terrain and layout.

  2. Modern content removed

    Newer ores, mobs, biomes and structures are taken out of the Nether, leaving a sparser dimension.

  3. Pairs with Moderner Beta

    Moderner Beta is required, and the author suggests adding Nostalgic Tweaks and Golden Days for a closer match.

What the author says

Actually Beta Nether removes all modern features from the Nether; including ores, mobs, biomes, and structures. NOTE: Does NOT use the Nether world generator from Beta! You'll need Moderner Beta for that!
