Nether & End
by EnderBoy
With Nether & End, the Nether and the End are reworked so that players can spend time in them without the usual hazards, and the mod is built for worlds where those dimensions matter.
What it does
The mod aims to make the End and the Nether more habitable for players. The author notes describe the goal as changing the two dimensions so that they are not only places to pass through. Nether & End is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
A custom license applies and the code is not open source, though public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The author recommends pairing the mod with Quilted Fabric API and Quilt Standard Libraries on Fabric builds, and the author text notes a separate change to the version numbering starting with 26.1, which places the Minecraft version at the end of each file name.
Key features
Habitable End and Nether
The dimensions are changed so that players can stay in them for longer periods, which is the central aim of the mod.
Elytra interaction
The author text reports that elytras can break when a player enters the inventory, so the behavior is worth checking before use.
Disable Elytra gamerule
A gamerule can turn elytras off, and the author notes it was removed in 1.21.11 and later builds.

Use cases
Modpacks
The author text suggests the mod for modpacks, where a server owner can add the changes to a larger set of mods.
Adventure maps
Players exploring the Nether and the End on custom maps can use the reworked dimensions as a new setting.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want the Nether and the End to feel less hostile and server owners who build modpacks around those dimensions. Because the environment is client and server, both sides must run the same build.
How it compares
Higher Nether is server-side only under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.20 – 1.21, so players can join without installing it. MysticRift: End & Nether Ores is client and server under All rights reserved, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.

What the author says
Due to Mojang changing from 1.{major}.{minor}(or what ever) to {year}.{drop number} Nether & End numbering system has to change before it's too late.
