    How to install Minecraft Data Packs

    This pack transforms Nether into a different, yet similar environment, with new terrain, 7 new sub-biomes, and some changes to vanilla ones.


    New terrain
    Now Nether has less space between bottom and ceiling and mostly plain terrain. Lava oceans were replaced with old-new nether wastes.


    Biomes changes

    • Nether Wastes: Amethyst's Nether Minecraft Data Pack
      • Now this biome is full of lava lakes, magma and basalt. Blazes and ghasts spawn here, and ancient debris generate on the ceiling among basalt stalactites.

    • Basalt Deltas: Amethyst's Nether Minecraft Data Pack
      • As usual, but with basalt stalactites, blazes, gilded blackstone, and without magma cubes. The only place where you can find a glowstone.

    • Soul Sand Valley: Amethyst's Nether Minecraft Data Pack
      • Added nether warts.
    New sub-biomes

    • Crimson Plains:
      • A lot of empty space for you to build, vines weeping from the ceiling, hoglins, and some piglins.

    • Warped Plains:
      • Like warped forest, but less trees and more twisting vines.

    • Crimson Fissures:
      • The place of cracks in the ground that contain gold ore.

    • Warped Fissures:
      • Same as crimson fissures biome, but with quartz instead of gold.

    • Soul Sand Deltas:
      • The biome between soul sand valleys and basalt deltas. Here reside hordes of skeletons and wither skeletons.

    • Crimson Deltas:
      • Mix of basalt deltas and crimson biomes. Contains lava pools, basalt columns and magma cubes.

    • Warped Deltas:
      • Place perfect for striders to live.
    Potential important questions
    • Is it compatible with (pack/mod name)?
      If it intervenes Nether terrain generation and biome distribution -- NO.

    • Will my world corrupt if i delete this pack from it?
      YES. Make sure to make backups before installing/deleting pack.

    4 Update Logs

    Pre-New-Year update 1.0.1 (nothing special, really) : by AmethystShard 12/29/2023 6:45:21 pmDec 29th, 2023

    Okay, I don't have anything special as a New Year gift. This update was finished like a month ago and was supposed to be released already, but . . .
    . . . eh . . .
    . . . i don't have any justifying reason for why it wasn't released. I just kinda forgor about it. I'm sorry.

    So, what this update brings?
    Sorry to say this, but -- it's an incompatible with your previous worlds, that have Amethyst's Nether installed, changes.
    To be honest, it's just one change. This change is a biome distribution.
    Completely wiped and made from scratch

    A picture of how biome distribution was before: https://imgur.com/c81iLdL
    And how it looks now: https://imgur.com/a5xpMQK

    So, yeah. It was changed drastically, so if you had any worlds with this pack installed -- you're better not to install new version on them. It'll corrupt your world . . . If you don't somehow wipe all Nether data from your world files somehow.

    Other changes:
    Added bastions and nether fortresses to generation
    Rebalanced mobs spawn rates


    Feedback and suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
    Wish everyone happy New Year.

    It's greatly advised not to install this pack on your existing world if you don't want to corrupt anything.
    Tho, you can make a backup copy of your world, save it somewhere, and then install this pack. If something bad happens -- you can always recover a corrupted world with a backup

    Unfortunately, I don't have any backups of my world without this pack, so this data-pack will stay forever in my world? (not that big of an issue tho) And does this also mean i can't update the data-pack if another version comes and reset the nether so I get the new world generation?

    I guess so. If you want to delete pack without corrupting anything -- you can make a backup of your world in its current state and then try to wipe the data of The Nether in your world by deleting the "DIM-1" file in your world's folder ("DIM-1" specifically. Not "DIM1". "DIM1" is The End, while "DIM-1" is The Nether).
    After doing this, you can delete the datapack and try to play. I hope it will help you, because i'm not sure if i'm mistaken on how all of this works.
    And in case anyone didn't figure already -- yep, it will wipe your Nether completely. It will reset like it was never generated.

    This is great! Rebalanced mob spawns is a big one for me, and I really like the new distribution. I still have plenty of ideas AmethystShard, should you want them. (Like a biome where the floor is a bunch of ghast tears sloping upwards to make a set of spikey floors.)

    The pack looks great, but Plains And Fissure biomes don't generate properly, they just generate as flat, boring, netherrack biomes with a bit of warped/crimson vines here and there. This is the 1.20.1 version btw.

    For the past 2 days i've never encountered this bug. And there's still no response from you. If there'd be no information from you and no same reports i'll consider this a closed case.
