Nether MASTER Remastered
by Gospi
Nether MASTER Remastered changes how players enter the Nether: a portal opens only after the player has forged and collected a set of runes from forging patterns found in the world.
What it does
Reaching the Nether becomes a progression step. The mod adds a complication to going into the Nether, and the portal built from obsidian only responds to runes. Forging patterns have to be tracked down in the world before they can be used, and each one is combined at a blacksmith's table with an obsidian eye, an edge forging template and an applied pattern template to produce a rune.
The portal needs ten different runes to work without a penalty, and the Nether portal appears from obsidian. Runes made for the Nether carry power that the upper world templates do not, and a larger portal needs fifteen runes, which the upper world cannot supply. Players who end up stuck in the Nether without runes are covered by the mod's rules, and the transition back to the upper world requires runes as well. The mod depends on Blueprint and Frame Changer, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.1.2 dated 2025-12-06. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features

Enlarged portal
A bigger portal needs fifteen runes, and runes from the Nether carry more power than those from the upper world.
