Nether

## Overview

The Nether is a vanilla dimension with new biomes, ores, structures, and enemies courtesy of BetterNether, Doomlike Dungeons, Battle Towers and Lycanites Mobs. There are far more structures and plant-like organisms growing here, as well as generated structures, than in a typical 1.12 nether. However, this dimension is also far more dangerous due to the hoards of enemy creatures that spawn here. The nether is intended to be a late-endgame dimension and as such players should prepare themselves before entering and stock up on water and other supplies. It is an essential dimension for progression and players need to fight Rahovart here and also collect cincinnasite to create a portal to the Lost Cities Dimension.

## Biomes

### Wart Forest:

* Dense Forest made up of soul sand and Nether wart blocks.
* Great area to gather Nether wart for potions.

### Nether Jungle:

* Made up of Stalgnate, Nether Grass, and Lucis Spores and occasionally Black Bushes.
* Not large in size but may pose some threat due to the Stalgnates acting as blockades.

### Gravel desert:

* Barren wasteland with some fauna littered around such as: Barrel Cactus, Nether Cactus, Agave, and Mushrooms.
* Cincinnasite ore spawns in the gravel throughout the biome, and is easy to spot, making it a good area to search for some.
* Caution should be taken as the flat, empty terrain allows a lot of Pinkies to spawn.

### Nether wastes:

* A common biome also found in vanilla Minecraft, also littered with mobs due to its flat and empty nature.
* May contain a few fires littered around and some lava, only other defining feature being Netherack Speleothem.

### Mushroom Forest:

* A forest filled with mushroom trees akin to mushroom island contains: Gray Mold, Orange Mushroom (they aren't actually orange), Red Mold, Nether Wart, Mushroom trees and regular mushrooms.
* The floor is actually made from Nether Mycelium although expect normal Nether mobs to still spawn.

### Lava Lake:

* Most common biome, occasionally may contain obsidian glaciers and giant skeletal remains.

## Structures

### Nether Doomlike Dungeon:

* A large dungeon made of nether brick, similar to a vanilla nether fortress.
* Interiors are bigger then normal and spawners can now host a variety of nether mobs, ranging from magma cubes to behemoths and trites.
* Loot is mostly bread, potions, silver and iron weapons, and iron, gold, silver, and diamonds, but chests guarded by higher tier mobs can have diamond tools, nether stars and beacons, and more high quality items.
* May contain wither spawners.

### Lycanite dungeon:

* Like the Overworld the Nether contains Lycanite dungeons, however the dungeons themselves are unique to the Nether.
* Inside hosts a wide range of cinders, behemoths, archviles and many more dangerous mobs.
* The dungeons available in the Nether are: Ashen Mausoleum, Demonic temple, and Aberrant station.

### Battle tower:

* Mostly the same as battle towers in the Overworld.

## How to survive the nether.

The Nether in RLCraft is much more hard than regular vanilla Minecraft. This is mainly due to the:

* Heat
* Thirst
* Lycanite mobs
* Difficult terrain

To combat the heat, it's recommended to use Ozzy Liners, however this is not necessary. You could use Cooling Liners, or any form of cooling (besides water), which is a great alternative to Ozzy Liners, but without self adjusting temperature. Alternatively, ice armour may be used to cool yourself down. However, it does not provide a lot of protection points, leaving the player more vulnerable to the mobs.

The Nether makes it so water can't be placed at all, so care should be taken into gathering juices and purified water before entering as there won't be a chance to refill within the Nether.

The Lycanite Mobs here utilize a lot of fire and speed so caution should be taken to avoid getting rushed and overwhelmed by the mobs, the fire can generally be negated by an obsidian skull or even better, a Dragon's Eye, Dungeons here utilize a lot of mobs so crowd control should be a major focus when tackling one.
