Eternal Nether cranks up the heat in Minecraft's hottest dimension - transforming the fiery underworld into a whole new battleground! Explore the fortress-like Piglin Manor, the towering Citadel, and the haunted Catacombs, each crawling with fierce new mobs and powerful treasures hidden in the ashes.

Rescue allies, defeat corrupted enemies, and shape your destiny in a Nether that's more alive - and more deadly - than ever before. New mobs, new loot, new blocks - and of course, way too much lava. Bring your best gear, your sharpest reflexes, and maybe a few extra fire resistance potions... you're gonna need them!

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Huge thanks to Izofar who originally created the amazing Bygone Nether mod. This mod is a faithful continuation of their work, with some additions, improvements, overhauls, and bug fixes.

🌟 Thanks to Tamlighter for creating many amazing new textures.
