Netherlicious - Enhanced Nether for Minecraft

The Netherlicious mod completely transforms the Nether, adding new biomes, creatures, and mechanics that make hell exploration truly exciting.

🎵 Updates and Fixes

The latest update significantly reduced the mod size and introduced important fixes:

• Fixed dancing fire particles near torches
• Solved resource loading issues in older Java versions
• Added new sounds for nether wood blocks
• Crystals and clusters now make sounds when hit by projectiles

⚠️ Important Respawn Anchor Warning

The respawn anchor only works in the Nether! Don't break it without setting a new respawn point in hell first, or you might get stuck after death. The Nether respawn point is not overwritten by the Overworld respawn point.
