I Just Want to Ruin nether Ceiling
by Ethanolgie
I Just Want to Ruin nether Ceiling lets a player break the Nether roof directly with a ruin bottle instead of building a portal.
What it does
Spectrum changed the nether ceiling so it can no longer be broken, and digging through it now creates a portal link to the bottom of the Nether. This NeoForge utility restores the older behavior, where a player can break through the ceiling and dig a tunnel with a ruin bottle. The mod requires Spectrum, is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and is published for 1.21.1 with a 0.0.1 beta file dated 2026-06-26.
