Nether's Exoticism
by furti-two
Nether's Exoticism brings five fruits from real nether biomes into the game, each with a potion effect when eaten, and food-based crafting for planks, armor and potions.
What it does
Each of the five fruits spawns in a specific nether biome: Jabuticaba in basalt deltas, Kiwano in warped forests, Rambutan in nether wastes, Buddha's Hand in soul sand valleys and Pitaya in crimson forests. Eating a fruit grants an effect such as cure, fire resistance, regeneration, night vision or wither cure, and the fruits can also be combined into a fruit salad with mixed effects.
The mod adds a small creature that trades with cleric villagers and can be collected in a bucket from nether fortress chests. It is meant to be kept carefully, since it stings when hit and feeds on spiders, silverfish, endermites, slimes and magma cubes. Nether's Exoticism is required by Farmer's Cutting: Nether's Exoticism and Nether's Cruelty, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge only, with builds for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 and the latest files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Its code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
