Ever wonder why the Nether has forests and vegetation? It should be dead! This datapack very simply removes the Crimson and Warped forests while still making all their blocks obtainable. Crimson and Warped Nylium are obtainable as common loot from Piglin bartering. All you need is one block of nylium and some bone meal and you can bring life to the Nether yourself! Hoglins also now spawn in the Nether Wastes.
