A very long time ago, when the Ancient Builders still held power, they journeyed far... and deep. When they first entered the Nether, they were not afraid. They were curious.

Curious about what destroyed it.

They brought their plants and animals to the red dimension and befriended the natives. They constructed fortresses as their homes away from home. They almost forgot about their questions about the Nether. But then, many explorations later, they found the answers.

A dark parasite ravaged their domesticated forests, afflicting everything it touched. It withered the Builders' crops, and infected their livestock. They tried to fight back, but the parasite fought harder. Any Builder struck down would rise again as a skeletal monster serving the infection.

"The wither," as we call it, demolished the Ancient Builder kingdom. Now, the infection beckons you back to the Nether. Will you follow in their footsteps, or protect the Overworld?


This resource pack transforms the new Crimson Forest biome in the Nether to a Withered Forest. Every Crimson block is now infected. Do as you wish with this new power, but do not let it destroy you as it did the Builders.
