Minecraft 1.23: Nether Update Part II

Minecraft 1.23, the second Nether Update, was released on January 12, 2025, and aims to make the Nether more interesting after the first Nether Update, 1.16. 
==Changes==
*Zombified Piglins can now be turned into normal piglins the same way you cure zombie villagers. If you do this to a zombified piglin in the Overworld, it will stay a piglin for 3 days. 
*Bugs fixed.
*Improved AI for piglins, piglin brutes, Hunters, and Marauders.
*A texture update for most Nether blocks and mobs.
*Lava in Soul Sand Valleys is now Soul Lava.
*Sharpness and Protection nerfed.
==Additions==
===Biomes===
*Drained Forest- A forest biome that is very gray, dark, and dangerous.
*Drained Corruption- A biome similar to the corruption biome in Terraria, but it can't spread without a corrupter. (I don't play Terraria or really know that much about it so it will probably be very different) This biome contains corrupted versions of blocks except Blackstone and Basalt, which are immune.
*Spirited Forest- A forest with green wood. 
*Warped Ravine- A huge ravine with warped wood.
*Corrupted Ravine- A warped ravine but with drained wood and corrupted blocks.
===Mobs===
*Corrupted Piglin
*Corrupted Hog
*Wither Ghast
*Vibrant Ghast- A neutral ghast that appears to be overgrown with different types of Nether wood.
*Overgrown Skeleton- Like the Vibrant Ghast.
*Midas Piglin- A piglin that can turn any item it interacts with into gold. They don't zombifiy in the Overworld, so can be used in many gold farm designs.
====Boss Mobs====
*Soul Inferno- A giant Soul Blaze that spawns in a Soul Temple. It drops the materials to make a blaze crown.
===Blocks===
*Corrupted Netherrack
*Corrupted Magma Block
*Drained Stem
*Drained Wart Block
*Drained Nylium
*Drained Sprout, Vine, etc.
*Spirited Stem
*Spirited Wart Block
*Spirited Nylium, Sprout, Vine
*Corrupted Soul Sand
*Corrupted Soul Soil
*All Corrupted Nether Blocks except basalt and blackstone
*Titanium Ore- An ore used to make corrupters, titanium blocks, and Crushers. They will have more use later on.
*Block of Titanium- Crafted with Titanium Pieces. Currently the hardest block in the game, cannot be pushed by pistons, and can only be broken with Netherite.
*Corrupter- A block used to spread corruption and turn normal blocks into corrupted blocks. Crafted with titanium pieces on the sides, and three Corrupted Netherrack in the center.
*Crusher- Crafted with eight titanium blocks and one Blaze Powder. Crushers have gravity, and deal 25 damage when dropped from 25 blocks. Damage stops increasing once 50 blocks is reached.
*Triggered Crusher- A Crusher crafted with Soul Powder instead of Blaze Powder. It does not fall until triggered by Redstone, and damage increased up to 60 blocks.
===Items===
*Soul Heart- Dropped by the Soul Inferno. It is used to make a blaze crown.
*Blaze Crown- Crafted with a Soul Heart in the middle surrounded by soul rods. Fill in the rest with fire charges. When wearing it, you get strength, fire resistance, jump boost, slow falling, and the ability to shoot fireballs.
*Titanium Peice- You get it from smelting Raw Titanium.
*Soul Powder- Crafted from soul rods. You can use them in potions to get double the effect of blaze powder.
*Bucket of Soul Lava
*Raw Titanium
