Even Better Nether
by Autumnly24
Even Better Nether is a Forge and NeoForge world generation mod that rebuilds the Nether with new biomes, mobs, structures and items, keeping ideas from Better Nether while cutting its clutter.
What it does
The mod is a soft remake of the Nether overhaul Better Nether. It keeps the major ideas of that mod but rewrites most of its content, so biomes, mobs, structures and items are new work rather than copies. Even Better Nether keeps the Nether closer to vanilla in spirit while adding a handful of biomes and mobs and some familiar tools and items.
Several parts of the original are kept in changed form. Some base textures come from Better Nether, although most of them were modified, and some concepts were carried over. The mod does not share its world generation method with Better Nether, Better End or BetterNether, because it adds Nether biomes through the vanilla approach. Incompatibilities with other world generation mods that modify the Nether's biome map are a known limit. Installation needs Forge or NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.3.1 for 1.20.1 and 1.3.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest builds.
