Nether Under Overworld
by badooga
Nether Under Overworld links the bedrock layer of the overworld with the top of the nether, so players can step through the bedrock barrier between the two dimensions.
What it does
Standing on the bedrock floor at the base of the overworld moves a player to the same x and z position within the upper strata of the nether. Pressing the head against bedrock at the top of the nether sends the player back down to the overworld at the same coordinates. In adventure and survival modes the game first creates an air pocket at the destination, while creative and spectator modes teleport without one, and the world is left unchanged.
The mod is a datapack with a server-side component, so the server needs it and players may add it for convenience. The developers intended it to run alongside a portal mod that switches off nether portals, because otherwise players could exploit the 8:1 scale ratio between the two dimensions to cover great distances. Because the teleport keeps x and z coordinates, it uses a 1:1 scale instead.
Two builds exist: one for vanilla nethers, which are 128 blocks tall, and one for the 256-block-tall Amplified nether. The mod can be uninstalled and reinstalled at any time.
Key features
Bedrock crossing
Standing on overworld bedrock or touching nether ceiling bedrock moves the player between the two layers.
Matching coordinates
Each jump keeps the same x and z position, so the destination lines up with where the player stood.
Air pocket on arrival
In survival and adventure modes an air pocket is created at the destination so the player can breathe.
Two nether heights
A build for vanilla 128-block nethers and a build for the 256-block Amplified nether are provided.
