Minecraft’s Nether is a fiery, lava-filled realm. It has several biomes, mobs, and materials that players aren’t able to find anywhere else. But what if players want to change the Nether? Luckily, they have a few options on how to do this.

One of the easiest ways to alter the Nether in-game is by installing Minecraft mods. Mods are something that players can use to alter their game. There are a number of Minecraft mods that players can install to augment the game’s Nether. Here’s a list of the five best Minecraft mods for the Nether.

This mod lets players use a hoe on soul soil to turn it into soul soil farmland, which they can then plant crops on. Players will still need to give their plants a light source, and they will need to use lava instead of water to hydrate the crops.


4) Torrid vision

The lacrimis mod adds a complex magic system to the game. Using the particles (or “tears”) from the Nether’s crying obsidian block, players can create custom spawners, teleport entities, and much more. Players can start off in this mod by right clicking a crying obsidian with a book to get an in-game guide.

The Nether is a fun and exciting realm, but players may want to add onto it. Luckily, there are a number of Minecraft mods that they can install to enhance their experience with the Nether in Minecraft.
