NETHER VAULTS
by Enderxd
Nether Vaults, a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, adds challenge chambers with abyssal spawners to the Nether, where a new Combat Axe can be found as a reward.
What it does
Small chambers are located in the Nether Wastes. Each one contains abyssal spawners themed on the Nether, and the new vaults hold treasures that include the Combat Axe. The mod is built around the vanilla trial and vault structure, moved into a Nether setting.
The Combat Axe is an exclusive weapon. It can only be obtained in the Nether, from these new structures, and it is crafted by combining the Combat Axe Blade with a blaze rod. The weapon deals high damage on both critical and normal hits, and it has a long cooldown between uses. Nether Vaults runs on client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files exist only for 1.21.1 on NeoForge.
