Blocks

Many new block types have been added!

  • Two new wood-like materials - Crimson Stems and Warped Stems
  • Basalt blocks - you can find them as pillars but they can be placed in any direction
  • New ground surface blocks: Crimson Nylium and Warped Nylium
  • New vegetation: Nether Sprouts, Crimson Roots and Warped Roots
  • Two types of Fungi: Crimson and Warped - try using bone meal to grow them!
  • Warped Wart blocks
  • Weeping Vines that grow from the bottom of a block downwards!
  • A new natural light source: Shroomlights
  • Added Soul Soil! Whenever fire burns on Soul Soil, it burns with a blue flame!
  • Soul Soil can be used to craft Soul Torches - and those can be crafted into Soul Lanterns!
  • Using bone meal on Netherrack can now spread Nylium

Crimson Forest

Crimson Forests can now be found in the Nether!

  • Crimson nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation
  • Huge Crimson Fungi make up the "trees" of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor
  • Weeping Vines grow from the cave ceilings and fungi
  • Hoglins wander these Forests
  • Crimson spores swirl through the air

Netherite

  • A new high level material found in the Nether. Use it to upgrade your diamond gear!

How to make Netherite

  • Mine Ancient Debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At own risk. No insurance coverage for that.
  • Refine it into Netherite Scrap in a furnace (although that's kind of slow so you might want a Blast Furnace).
  • Combine 4 Nether Scrap with 4 Gold Ingots in a crafting table to make a Netherite Ingot.

Netherite effects

  • Netherite items float in lava. So you don't lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath.
  • Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold).
  • Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond.
  • Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond.
  • Netherite armor have higher toughness and durability than diamond.
  • Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such.
  • And it looks cool!

Soulsand Valley

Soulsand Valleys can now be found in the Nether!

  • An open space made mostly of Soul Sand and Soul Soil
  • Basalt pillars span from floor to ceiling
  • Fossile remains of unknown creatures from the past litter the valley
  • Ash falls through the air
  • A light blue glow envelopes the valley
  • Beware of Skeletons here

Sounds

  • Ghasts sounds are now heard at shorter range
  • Updated block sounds for Bone Blocks, Netherrack, Soul Sand, Netherwart, Nether Bricks and Quartz Ore

Warped Forest

Warped Forests can now be found in the Nether!

  • Warped nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation
  • Huge Warped Fungi make up the "trees" of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor
  • A dark blue fog covers the forest!
  • Warped spores swirl through the air
  • The Warped Forests are strange, but also the least hostile place of Nether

World Generation

  • The old Nether biome is now called Nether Wastes
  • Made shipwrecks and ocean ruins a bit less common, so you get more excited when you find one!
