YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses (NeoForge) [1.20.4 - 1.21.1 ONLY]

by YUNGNICKYOUNG · on CurseForge

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for NeoForge only.

Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20.4

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses

What is this?

A complete overhaul of Minecraft's Nether fortresses! YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses completely redesigns Nether fortresses from the ground up. Compared to vanilla, Better Fortresses are much larger, more complex, and more rewarding. Each fortress is comprised of three parts — the bridge networks, the Keep, and the Lava Halls that extend deep underground.

YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses also includes built-in Create compatibility! If you're using Create for NeoForge, certain parts of the fortress have a chance of spawning using Create pieces. Note that this is an optional feature — Create is not required to run this mod. Be sure to use the latest release of Create for your Minecraft version!

Compatibility

YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:
