**Jaden's Nether Expansion** is a vanilla friendly mod which aims to Expand the entire Nether Dimension adding various new content and as well as overhauling existing vanilla concepts as well, this project is evergrowing and is constantly being updated so prepare yourself for the biggest nether mod yet.

Jaden's Nether Expansion is constantly updating and so far this is only 1/8th of the whole thing!
I'm going to be updating all 5 Vanilla Biomes and adding 4 New Biomes as well
Each with their own unique Blocks, Items, Mobs, Game Mechanics and More!

**Q: Is Jaden's Nether Expansion still a Datapack/Resource Pack?**
A: No, JNE has been been completely reworked into a proper mod for Forge and Fabric
**Q: When will you update to X minecraft version?**
A: I will eventually but currently no ETAs
**Q: Backports?**
A: No.
**Q: Why was Fabric Port discontinued?**
A: Managing such a massive project like JNE on both modloaders was becoming too demanding. and the Fabric API itself was lackluster and held back this mod a lot, moving forward JNE is going to be Forge/NeoForge Exclusive
