Description



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.
It started out as a humble texture pack but has turned into fully fleshed out mod for NeoForge 1.21.1!

Q: Is Jaden's Nether Expansion still a Datapack/Resource Pack?
A: No, JNE has been been completely reworked into a proper java coded mod for NeoForge!.
Q: When will you update to [X] minecraft version?
A: JNE will be staying on 1.21.1 for the foreseeable future; there are no plans to move to 26.1+ and no explicit permission will be granted to port JNE to any newer versions on my behalf.
Q: Backports?
A: No.
Q: Will you continue to update 1.20.1?
A: The 1.20.1 version of JNE will not be recieving any new content updates, except for bug fixes. And is largely abandoned, I personally recommend moving to the 1.21.1 NeoForge version.
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 lacking and kept getting in the way; ultimately holding the project back. Moving forward JNE is going to be Forge/NeoForge Exclusive.
Q: Is this mod AI-generated?
A: NO. Everything in Jaden's Nether Expansion is FULLY HUMAN-MADE from its textures, models, code, sounds, music and more. Absolutely no generative AI content was used to make JNE.
