Bygone Nether / Eternal Nether Fixes
by shizotoaster
This mod fixes and backports Eternal Nether features for the Nether content it extends, and it needs Eternal Nether installed to run.
What it does
The mod backports several Eternal Nether features to the Nether content it extends and applies bugfixes to that content. It is installed on the server, and players can join without it. Files target 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 for Fabric and Quilt, and Eternal Nether is a required dependency.
Among the fixes, the Shield Spam Fix for 1.20.1 keeps the ears from being destroyed, and Wraither's texture fix makes its second stage stop relying on the vanilla texture. A 1.20.1 Shield Defence Goal backport is included. Support for resource packs is improved, and compatibility with Entity Model Features is provided through an overwrite that stops the mod from replacing entity models.
The latest Fabric and Quilt files are 2.0.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-07-24. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Eternal Nether backports
Features from Eternal Nether are carried over into the Nether content, so they work without the original content layout.
Shield spam fix for 1.20.1
The shield spam fix stops the ears from being destroyed when the shield is used repeatedly.
Wraither texture fix
Wraither's second stage no longer relies on the vanilla texture, so its appearance stays consistent.
Entity Model Features compatibility
An overwrite keeps the mod from replacing entity models that Entity Model Features handles.
