easier nether
by burntfine
easier nether is a Fabric mod that changes how Nether mobs and hazards behave, so players can handle the dimension with less risk.
What it does
Skeletons in the Nether cannot shoot arrows, and blazes cannot shoot fireballs. Ghasts cannot blow up their fireball attacks. Players can take those enemies on more safely, while the rest of the Nether stays as in vanilla. Water and other items used against Nether mobs behave as the author describes in the mod's features.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for Fabric only and requires Fabric API. Files exist for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Disarmed skeletons
Skeletons in the Nether lose their bow attack, so their arrows no longer threaten players there.
Harmless blazes and ghasts
Blazes stop shooting fireballs, and ghast fireballs no longer explode on impact.
Water bucket use
A water bucket can be used against Nether enemies as a counter, as the author describes.

What the author says
this mod makes the nether easier, you can take the skeleton's bow so it can't shoot you with arrows, water bucket a blaze so it can't shoot you with flames, and you can stuff a block in a ghast mouth so it can't blow you up
