Infernal Expansion 1.0

Infernal Expansion is a world generation datapack, its aim is to expand the nether without ruining the (nearly non-existent) balance of the base game.

This datapack has no relation to the mod Infernal Expansion

Additions and Changes

This datapack offers:

• Two brand new nether biomes!
• Increased height of the nether dimension from 128 to 256
• Changes to pre-existing nether biomes!
• Reworked biome placement.
• Revamped generation of the entire nether dimension!

Revamped Nether Generation

The nether generation in this datapack is completely different to that of the vanilla nether. The entire nether now has a much more cavernous feel, with relatively common open expanses. The height of the nether and the build limit has been increased by 128, to 256 and 384 blocks respectively.

Additions to pre-existing nether biomes!

Each vanilla nether biome (excluding the nether wastes) gets one or two extra features.

Crimson Forest

The crimson forest has an abundance of weeping vines, and the roofs of these biomes are now made of nether wart blocks.

Warped Forest

The roofs of the warped forest are now made of partly warped wart blocks, and partly netherrack.

Soulsand Valley

The soulsand valley now has patches of netherrack on its surface and roof, but also has an added amount of bones that aren't in a fossil formation. These extra bones can come down from the celling, or poke out of the ground.

Basalt Deltas

The ceilings of the basalt deltas biomes are now filled with basalt pillars stretching down.

New Nether Biomes

Infernal Expansion adds two new biomes, bringing the total nether biomes to seven!

Desolate Dunes

The desolate dunes is a desert like biome. The vast majority of it is made of red sand and red sandstone. Scattered around the biome are patches of dripstone and a variety of dirt-like blocks with dead bushes on top. Players can find the elusive skeleton horse and zoglin spawning here, as well as regular skeletons and zombified piglins.

Deepslate Depths

The deepslate depths is a biome most similar to that of the overworld's deepslate caves. The biome is comprised of a base made of deepslate, with stripes of blackstone, tuff, and smooth basalt. Rarely, deepslate iron ore can be found here. Wither Skeletons are able to spawn here, but only in sparse groups, and almost never reaching the mob cap of 70.
