Legacy Nether: Extended

--- ## 📖 Description **Legacy Nether: Extended** is an expansion of the original **Legacy Nether** mod that blends the nostalgic feel of the old console-era Nether with the **new features** of Minecraft’s modern Nether. This mod is designed for players who want the **aesthetics and gameplay vibe of the console Nether**, but also want to keep **Netherite, Bastions, and new biomes** so nothing is missing from modern Minecraft. Where the original Legacy Nether stripped back the Nether to its barebones, **Extended** reimagines it by **integrating modern content in a console-inspired style**, giving you the best of both worlds. Some of the features include: * **Bastion Remnants, fortresses, and other structures** are present, styled to fit alongside the classic Nether Wastes environment. * **Modern biomes** such as Crimson Forests and Soul Sand Valleys generate naturally, but mob spawning and loot tables are tuned to evoke the console editions. * **Ancient Debris and Netherite** progression are fully supported for players who want modern endgame content. * **Piglins, Hoglins, Striders**, and other new mobs spawn alongside classic mobs like Zombified Piglins, Ghasts, Magma Cubes, and Wither Skeletons. * **Nether Wart** still spawns on Soul Sand in the wild. **(Thanks to @Soupio777)** * **Blaze Glowstone Dust drops** remain for nostalgia farming. --- ## ✨ Feature list Feature List ## Key: ✅ - Implemented ☑️ - Planned ❌ - Not Implemented |**Feature**|Implemented|Planned| |-|-|-| |All modern Nether biomes (Crimson, Warped, Soul Sand Valley, Basalt Deltas) retained|✅|☑️| |Bastion Remnants & other new structures retained|✅|☑️| |Classic mobs (Zombified Piglins, Ghasts, Magma Cubes) spawn alongside new mobs|✅|☑️| |Wither Skeletons spawn everywhere|✅|☑️| |Nether Wart generates on Soul Sand (Thanks to @Soupio777)|✅|☑️| |Blazes drop 0–2 Glowstone Dust|✅|☑️| |Netherite & Ancient Debris progression supported|✅|☑️| --- ## 🌌 Nostalgia For the best nostalgic experience, Legacy Nether: Extended pairs well with resource packs and mods that restore classic visuals and mechanics, such as: * [**Legacy4J**](https://modrinth.com/mod/legacy4j) to bring back every aspect of Legacy Console Edition to modern versions. * [**Golden Days**](https://github.com/PoeticRainbow/golden-days/releases) by *PoeticRainbow* for authentic pre-1.14 textures. * [**Nostalgic Tweaks**](https://modrinth.com/mod/nostalgic-tweaks) by *Adrenix* to bring back old fog, lighting, skies, and combat. * [**Moderner Beta**](https://modrinth.com/mod/moderner-beta) for terrain generation alongside your extended Nether. --- ## ⚙️ Compatibility * ✅ Works in **Minecraft 1.21.x**.
