Cinderscapes
by Terraformers
Nether terrain gains four new biomes and a set of building blocks, all added to the world by Cinderscapes for Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
Cinderscapes generates four additional Nether biomes, named Ashy Shoals, Blackstone Shales, Luminous Grove and Quartz Cavern. Their terrain, decoration and block palette follow the style of the biomes already present in vanilla Nether. New building blocks are added alongside them, which broaden what players can construct.
The mod focuses on a small number of biomes that were refined and detailed carefully, rather than a large count of additions. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is an optional addition. Biolith, Cloth Config API and mixson are bundled inside the mod, so nothing extra is needed for them. Files exist for 1.16.5 – 26.2, with snapshot builds also published, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source.
