## Information

The **Nether** (also known as The Underworld and/or Hell) is a fiery, demonic and hellish Dimension that has changed drastically in difficulty, because of the mobs that has powerful abilities. In the Nether, it has plenty of fire and glowstone, an ocean of lava, and several monsters that spawn naturally and in the fortresses of the Nether. No mobs can be summoned in peaceful mode, but in easy to hard mode, mobs can be summoned anywhere. Without going to the Sunset Dimension, it will make the dimension way challenging in every way.

## Overview

The Nether is **one of the vanilla dimensions**. There are some strange undead neutral mobs like **Zombie Pigman** that spawn naturally and commonly, and white huge jellyfish-like ghosts that are not undead like **Ghasts** that spawn uncommonly because of this mod being active in the game. Many of the mobs that spawn in this dimension such as the Lava Knight, Super Beefy Pigman, Vampire, Nether Ghost, and Nether Soul would kill players very easily, especially when the player is geared with Iron Armor or Copper Armor. The nether has shifted from the first dimension a player will visit to the second dimension.

By definition, the first dimension is now the Sunset Dimension, which has Thieves, Necromancers and Skeleton Brawlers, and maybe NPCs like George Tree and Quarry Master. Recommended gear is either Ruby Armor or Bedrock Armor.

### **What should I bring?**

* **Bedrock Armor** and **Ruby Armor** - Important to defend the player from those mobs in the Nether. Especially useful because of the Magic/Void protection. Enchanted would work nicely while fighting the Lava Troll and Nether Badgerer. Although Nether Badgerers are hard to find and they can also be a threat to punish the players.
* **Bedrock Sword**, **Heavy Ruby Sword**, and **Heavy Silver Sword** - It would be best to take out the mobs using these that deals **magic** and **void damage** because of their defense. **Bedrock Sword** is a **sturdy sword** and it deals **void damage**, and there is also a powerful bedrock sword like the **Bedrock Slasher**. These heavy swords like **Heavy Ruby Sword** and **Heavy Silver Sword** **deal more damage than the normal ones**. Although, Ruby Sword and Silver Sword would work as a substitute.
* **Quake Wand**is one of the useful wands that is used to **rupture the mobs** that cannot fly, like the Nether Soul. There are also wands that are used to take out the Beholder superboss, such as the **Sapient War Wand** and/or the **Ionic Wand**. The Sapient War Wand can be obtained in the Montane Dungeon Dimension. **Vampiric Wand** heals the player when shooting the mobs.
* **Tome of Revenge** is also recommended to defeat the minibosses like the Skeletal Mage. Although Skeletal Mages summons Wither Skeletons when they are in the Nether. It is also recommended when the player is defeating Brangle.

### **Why come to the Nether?**

* The **Hadrial Wand** is the empowered version of the **Ionic Wand**. It can also act like a flamethrower, and it deals deadly damage to any mob excluding the George Tree and Quarry Master, because these NPCs with quests are invincible and immobile to kill.. It can also be used to defeat the Midnight Titan.
* **Twistox Sword or Brangle Sword**, these swords are related to the Blade of the Paladin when right-clicking. These swords can throw mobs away after the player right-clicked.

* **Vampiric Sword** for healing the player when killing the mobs. It is rarely dropped by the Vampire.
* **Corrupted Soul** for making a portal orb to the **Crystallium Spikes**! It can also be used to make the **Corrupted Maul** and **Corrupted Nether Soul**.
* **Corrupted Nether Soul** is used to **summon the Beholder**. It is crafted with **1 Corrupted Soul, 4 Nether Steel,** and **4 Ghast Tears**. The summoning can be really dangerous, just be careful!
* **Nethersteel Shards** are used to smelt **Nether Steel**.
* **Sinister Tablet** is one of the useful resources to **summon the Brangle on Brangle Altar** to get Diamonds and Gold Ingots and also the Brangle Sword.
* **Nether Star** - This is one of the most important resources that the player would like to have, including but not limited to. This star can be commonly dropped by the Wither Boss (with the Hardcore Wither Mod, it can drop more than 1 Nether Star). It can be used to craft the **Wither Star Staff**, and it can be used to summon The Ghost Wither on the Wither Soul Altar which is located on top of the Ghost Wither Tower which is rarely located in the Crystallium Spikes.

## Generation

The Nether is a red cave with lava and it is one of the harsh biomes of all times. The Nether also has an **ocean of lava** (towards layer y=31 and under) and it is deadly to players without wearing Fire Resistant Armor. In fact, the **landscape** of the Nether is **cave-like**, and is sealed off at the top and at the bottom by an unbreakable block such as **Bedrock**. It also contains **fire** as "grass" that is **on the Netherrack** that cannot be gone; this means that fire can stay on netherrack forever.

The Nether is actually full of **netherrack, lava,** and maybe **soul sand** and **gravel**. There is also glowstone instead of the sun. Mining Glowstone would let you get more light when exploring in the ocean and/or sea in the Overworld.

### **Common Blocks**

* **Glowstone** - For light
* **Gravel** - Can fall down
* **Netherrack** - Generic for Nether
* **Soul Sand** - Reduces the speed of living entities, and it can be used to craft the **Wither**.

### **Ores**

**Ores** that are generated in the **Nether**. (**WARNING!** **Try your best by not dying in the nether.** Because of this, there are some **mobs that attack you** and also **lava that burns on sight**, so wearing **Fire** **Resistant Armor** is recommended.)

* **Nether Quartz Ore** - One of the first nether ores. Can be mined with any pickaxe
* **Lithium Ore** - One of the first nether ores! Can be mined with **Ruby Pickaxe****.**
* **Nethersteel Ore**- The second nether ore! Can be mined with **Amethyst Pickaxe** or higher.
