The '''Nether''' is a dangerous, hell-like [[MCL:Dimension|dimension]] containing fire, lava, fungal vegetation, many [[MCL:Mob#Hostile|hostile mobs]], and [[MCL:Biome|biomes]].

==Environment==
The Nether features unique cave-like terrain with no sky. Lava and fire are common hazards everywhere in the Nether. The shape of the terrain in the Nether is independent of the biome distribution; instead, the biome alters the surface material and adds terrain features to the netherrack terrain. 

=== Biomes===
The Nether is divided into several biomes just like the Overworld, each featuring unique terrain, mobs, structures, ambience, etc. There are currently two biomes in the Nether.

===Points of interest===
The Nether contains a variety of unique structures. Though equally vast, it contains far fewer types of generated structures than the Overworld.

|Blaze rod towers are tall towers made up of blackstone and netherrack used by the piglins to shoot down any oponent that comes near it with blaze rods.

===Inhabitants===
The Nether is home to its own share of [[MCL:Mob|mobs]], most of which are fire- and lava-proof.
