Amethyst Nether is a datapack that transforms the Nether by adding new biomes, structures, mobs, items, recipes, advancements, and more. ## 📝 Description Released in December 2022. It was created by amethyst137 and continued by bbschef in July 2024. This datapack is recommended for new worlds and **cannot be removed once applied without a reset**. It adds new biomes and changes existing ones, with unique effects and features. World generation uses noise and other functions to modify terrain, including lakes, mountains, caves, and canyons. The Nether height was increased to 160; the Nether roof is no longer accessible. ## ✨ Features
