Details
Amethyst Nether is a datapack that transforms the Nether by adding new biomes, structures, mobs, items, recipes, advancements, and more.
Description 📝
Amethyst Nether was released in December 2022. It was created by amethyst137 and continued by bbschef in July 2024. This datapack is recommended for new worlds and cannot be removed once applied. It adds new biomes and changes existing ones, with unique effects and features.
