After exploring the vast and exciting world of Minecraft, many veteran players turn to mods to add new features and challenges to the game. The Java Edition has a vast selection of mods available that are easy to install, providing endless possibilities to keep the game fresh and exciting.

The Nether, which is the second most visited dimension in Minecraft, has only been updated once so far with the Nether Update. While this update added many new features to the Nether biome, long-time players have already thoroughly explored them.

Many mods have been released to diversify this scary dimension, with Better Nether being one of the best.

Since BetterNether is a Fabric mod for Minecraft, a Fabric client must be installed. Along with Fabric, players will need Fabric api and BClib compatible with version 1.19.3.

Here are the mods you'll need to download first:

  • BClib - available on 9minecraft.net
  • Fabric installer - available on fabricmc.net
  • Fabric api - available on CurseForge
  • BetterNether - available on CurseForge

While installing mods, make sure all of them are for the same version of Minecraft. Once all the required files have been downloaded, follow the steps mentioned below to install Fabric for Minecraft 1.19.3:

Step 1: Open the downloaded Fabric installer using JAVA(TM) Platform SE binary. If your system does not have Java, you'll have to download and install it first.

Step 2: Select Minecraft 1.19.3 and ensure the game's directory in the installer is correct. Then, click on Install.

The installation may take a few minutes. Once finished, a new 1.19.3 Fabric installation will appear in the game launcher.

You must move the Fabric api to the mods folder and launch the game once to allow the launcher to download the files necessary to run the game. The mods folder can be found by pressing the WIN + R keys and typing "%appdata%/.minecraft/mods" into the dialog box.

If the Fabric installation doesn't show up in the launcher, it might be because the mods aren't enabled. To fix this, go to the Installations tab and select the Mods option under Versions.

Step 3: Once you have launched the Fabric installation, you should exit out of it and move the other files (BetterNether mod and BClib) to the mods folder.

After following the above steps, the BetterNether mod can be played through the new Fabric installation.
