The mod generates basalt deltas in the Nether, especially around lava pools, and adds a way to cross them. Several small unique features expand the Nether, including a new resource called magnetite that appears in these deltas and falls like sand unless it is connected to a lodestone. Mined magnetite converts nearby lava into smoldering magnetite, which can be smelted into iron nuggets through iron slag.

Blaze content is the core of the mod. Blaze dust is created by placing blaze powder on the ground and lighting it, and the flames chain-react into neighboring dust; four blaze dust craft one blaze powder. Blaze lanterns are a projectile that sets entities on fire and spreads a 3x3 area of fire, similar to a molotov, while blaze torches emit particles that drift toward the nearest Nether fortress. Blaze powder is obtained by bartering with piglins.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and EMI and McQoy are optional. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, with snapshot builds published, under the MIT License, and the mod is open source.
