Nether Additions
by flenarn
Nether Additions adds Nether blocks, food and fishing content, and players who explore the Nether gain basalt building stock, new fish and a few potion-like foods.
What it does
The mod expands the Nether with a full set of basalt blocks in several shapes, including stairs, walls, slabs and tiles. Smooth basalt can be made through the crafting grid or in a stonecutter, so the set fits the Nether's existing look.
Several items draw on Nether ingredients such as nether wart and warped fungus. Foods built from them can grant fire resistance or levitation when eaten, and one brewed recipe lets players turn a food into a potion of levitation. Fishing gets a rod option that can catch fish from lava, and the mod includes four fish species, one of which fits the sky-like theme of the cloud dishes.
Fabric API must be installed with the mod. Nether Additions runs on Fabric and Quilt, and it needs to be on both the client and the server. Files are available for 1.20 – 1.21.8, and the latest Fabric file targets 1.21.8.
Key features
