Have you ever felt that The Nether was too boring with nothing to do in it? Then this mod is for you.
NetherX is a large mod made to add more challenges - and rewards - to The Nether, and yet still feel like vanilla. Be warned though, The Nether is harder than ever before, with new monsters looking to tear your face off....
This mod adds new ores, dungeons, mobs, tools, armor, a new liquid, and much more - even a way to obtain water in The Nether!
Also - we have a wiki! Feel free to edit and add more pages. (O, si usted habla español, visita la wiki española!)

Blocks :
Ores Three new ores have been added to The Nether; Ichorite, Venomite, and Necromite.
Ichorite Ore is a common - yet powerful ore added to The Nether. When mined, it drops an Ichorite Shard. Ichorite Shards can be used to obtain water (see below) and can also be used to extends potions (like redstone) and as fertilizer on all Nether crops.
Venomite is the iron of The Nether. It's based around poison, so a Venomite Bucket can hold poison, a Venomite Sword gives poison damage to whatever you hit, and Venomite Armor gives poison immunity. It is generally quite common.
Necromite is the diamond of The Nether, and the rarest ore added with NetherX. It's based around withering, so a Necromite Sword gives the withering effect to whatever you hit, and Necromite Armor gives withering immunity. It is quite useful when fighting the Wither.
Other Blocks
Magma is a common block now found in The Nether. When mined, it turns into lava the same way ice turns into water. It also gives off a small amount of light. When exploded (either by a Ghast, or a Netherbomb, or even the wither) it will drop one Magma Crystal per block. Magma Crystals can be used to make Magma Crystal Armor, which, if the full set is worn, grants immunity to fire (however it only gives as much defense as chain).
Netherthorns now dot the surface of The Nether, damaging any mob that comes into contact with them. They can make very useful traps for mobs.
Unlike other mods, which add living growing trees to The Nether, NetherX adds the long dead Vilewood Trees to The Nether. They can be made into planks, sticks, chests, doors, etc. and most importantly, wooden bowls, mushroom stew being one of the best foods to have in The Nether. Be warned though, wood is not a renewable resource in The Nether (due to the lack of saplings) so use it wisely!
Soul Glass is a unique block obtained from smelting Soul Sand. Apart from being able to make glass bottles and windows, when powered, it and all soul glass blocks above it can be walked through.
A Nether Furnace can now be made out of netherrack. It does not require fuel, so can burn indefinetly, but it has a ten percent chance of melting back into netherrack and spewing out your items, as to make it not OP.
Also, Obsidian can now be found in The Nether, in Obsidian Beaches.
Chiseled Netherrack is crafted out of four netherrack, and has a much higher resistance.
There are many other blocks added with this mod, but as this post is getting long, you will have to discover them yourself!
Mobs:
Gluttons aren't the only mob added with NetherX, but they are certainly the hungriest! They will eat any food out of your inventory when attacking, except golden foods and spider eyes. They will also eat sugar, in fact they will prioritize eating sugar to any other food!
A good trick to defeating them is to have poisonous potatoes in your inventory (make sure to have no other food or sugar, as the glutton will eat that food instead) and let them hit you. They will get poisoned from the potato!
Credits to Firehazurd for the idea.
Thanks to WeirdODude for an amazing model!
HP: 10
Drops: Bones, leather and rarely glutroot seeds.
Another new mob is the Blazing Charger. These mobs will launch you in to the air, making you take falling damage as well as attack damage. It's a lot safer to attack these mobs with a ranged weapon then with a melee weapon.
HP: 16
Drops: Steak (because it's already been cooked in the heat of The Nether), leather
Again, thanks to WeirdODude for another amazing model!
Nether Spiders behave almost exactly like Cave Spiders, except for an increase in poison damage and an increase in size. They add a way to obtain bows in The Nether (arrows can be obtained from skeletons) and Spider Eyes, which are needed for Potion of Weaknesses.
HP: 10
Drops: String, spider eye
Pigman are the only mob that does not spawn naturally with NetherX, and the one you would most likely want to meet. They are created by throwing Potions of Weakness on naturally (This is a glitch. Zombie Pigmen that have been spawned with a spawn egg cannot be converted. This will be fixed in the next update) spawning Zombie Pigmen, and then giving them a Golden Carrot will start the conversion progress into Pigmen. Pigmen will attack any agressive mob except creepers, and are very useful for defending your house.
Zombie Pigmen now have a chance of dropping carrots, so you don't need to leave the Nether to obtain any anymore.
You can also throw them tools and armor, which they'll pick up and use, if you want to buff them up.
HP: 28
Drops: Porkchops
One of the coolest mobs added with NetherX is the Brimspell. These mobs can be described as living fire, and will charge at you, leaving a trail of fire, similar to a Fiendfyre in Harry Potter. When hit, they will explode in a cloud of smoke, extinguishing any nearby fire. If you experience any lag with the Brimspell/don't want a fiery trail, you can enable "lagless brimspells" in the config.
HP: 14
Drops: Cursed Paper (0 - 9)
The newest mob added with NetherX is the Inferno Spider. It is similar to the Nether spider, however it's much smaller, has less HP, however, instead of poisoning you, it sets you on fire.
It can only be found in the Soulsand Desert, or possibly...in the mysterious Nether dungeons.
HP: 9 Drops: String, spider eyes, and rarely blaze powder
Nether Dungeons:
Nether dungeons are a really cool feature with version 1.3. I won't reveal much, so you can discover them yourselves, but there are a few varieties, the most common one being similar to the dungeons in the overworld. Usually they are guarded by Wither Skeletons, meaning that you don't have to find a Nether fortress to get Wither skulls anymore.
Using the Execration Table:
The Execration Table is the Nether's version of the Enchantment Table. It allows you to curse items to give them special effects, as well as repair them, all using new Cursed Books. Cursed Books are crafted using three Cursed Paper (dropped from Brimspells) and one Leather in a shapeless recipe (same as a book).
The Execration Table is crafted the same way as an Enchantment Table, but with Necromite instead of Diamond and a Cursed Book instead of a Book. At the moment only tools, swords, and the Inferno Staff can be cursed, but armor will soon follow.
When Netherrack tools/swords are cursed, they become extremely fast at mining.
When Venomite tools are cursed, then they all (shovels, pickaxes, axes) become able to inflict poison damage, and the poison inflicted by the Venomite Sword when cursed will last twice as long.
When Necromite tools are cursed, then they all (shovels, pickaxes, axes) become able to inflict wither damage, and the withering inflicted by the Necromite Sword when cursed will be twice as powerful.
When the Inferno Staff is cursed, it shoots fireballs almost twice as fast.
Summoning the Ghast Queen:
Firstly, you will need to craft a Ghast Shrine, with Obsidian on the top row, a Ghast Tear in the middle, and Netherbrick (the block or the item) in every other place. Then, right click to activate it. You can also activate it using Redstone. Once activated, it cannot be broken. It will continually flash from about five seconds to two minutes or so, before exploding, and summoning the Ghast Queen.
The Ghast Queen has forty HP (compared to a regular Ghast's 10 HP) and will rapidly fire fireballs straight at the player.
If defeated, it will drop all regular Ghast drops as well as one Ghast Egg. When a Ghast Egg is crafted in the shape of a shovel with Blaze Rods instead of sticks (you could also craft it diagonally) you will get an Inferno Staff, which when right clicked shoots fireballs at your target.
Nether Farming:
You can now use Ichorite Shards as fertilizer on Nether Warts as well as Glutroots. Glutroot seeds are a rare drop from Gluttons - and are a valuable food source. They can also be made into soup. However, they have a chance of giving mining fatigue when eaten raw, and a lesser chance when put in a soup.
Nether Biomes:
With version 1.3 of NetherX, Nether biomes have been added to the Nether! The normal Nether biome is still the most common biome, but there are also three other biomes added as well! They work with BiomesOPlenty Nether biomes also, so you can have all the Nether biomes you could ever want!
The Mushroom Swamp is a biome filled with mushrooms, oozing poison lakes, fungal strands, giant mushrooms, and the occasional Vilewood tree. Magma cubes spawn much more frequently here.
The Soulsand Desert - an ancient biome filled with vast amounts of soul sand, Inferno spiders, and...cursed soul sand, which will suck mobs into its grasp, pulling them under, like quicksand in the Nether. It is a really useful block for traps.
The Spiked Caverns - a lame name, for a really cool biome. Filled with towering stalactites and stalagmites, and islands jutting out of the lava ocean, and frequent lavafalls, this biome is a great place to build a fortress in.
If you don't for some reason like the Nether biomes, you can easily disable them in the config.
Miscellaneous:
Capes!:
A few select people will be getting capes with version 1.2!
The developer of the mod and texture creator get Glutton capes, while the others will get more generic (but still cool) capes. If you contribute enough to the mod, than you may just get a cape yourself!
Obsidian Boats:
What more is there to say? Obsidian boats are a new type of boat crafted just like a normal boat, but with obsidian instead of wood. Unlike normal boats, they are too heavy to float on water, but they can float on lava! They are stronger than normal boats, but even still, if you drive your boat fast enough into a wall, it could still break, tossing you into the lava!
Obtaining Water:
First find a Poison Lake. They are quite common and can be found almost anywhere in The Nether. Second, craft a Venomite Bucket out of Venomite Ingots (in the same way you craft a bucket out of iron). Thirdly, pick up some poison with your Venomite Bucket. Then, craft a Crystal Cauldron (same recipe as cauldrons, only with Nether Quartz instead of Iron) and fill it with poison.
Finally, right click on the Crystal Cauldron with an Ichorite Shard to purify the poison into water.
Just like regular cauldrons, you CANNOT pick up the water/poison with a bucket, only a glass bottle (which can now be made out of soul glass).
A cobblestone generator can also be made using poison instead of water. This is useful for making things such as brewing stands in The Nether.
Recipes:
By combining one nether quartz with one magma cream, you can obtain one Magma Crystal.
Three new toolsets can be created (in the same formation as every other toolset):
Venomite tools, Netherack tools and Necromite tools out of Venomite Ingots, Netherrack, and Necromite Gems respectively.
Glowstone Torches are obtained by crafting a torch but with Glowstone Dust instead of Coal.
Soul Glass is obtained by smelting Soul Sand.
Netherbombs (you have to check these out) are crafted like TNT but with Soul Sand instead of Sand, and Venomite Buckets and Crystal Cauldrons are made out of Venomite Ingots and Nether Quartz respectively in the same formation as buckets and cauldrons.
Also, by crafting a furnace with netherrack instead of cobblestone will produce a Nether Furnace.

Mod Support:
BiomesOPlenty, Buildcraft, and Railcraft are now all supported with NetherX. NetherX's Nether biomes and BiomesOPlenty's will both spawn, for the best Nether experience. Also, poison can now be pumped through Buildcraft pipes and put into Buildcraft and Railcraft tanks.
Upcoming Features:
- achievements
- more types of nether dungeons, with dangerous mobs
- more mobs, such as phoenixes, perhaps
- an overhaul to the current loot of Nether Fortresses, to add more unique things and remove stuff like diamond horse armor, which doesn't even belong in The Nether.

Nice mod mate maybe add some machines to utilize the poison liquid. Maybe make it go into the canning machine from IC2 Experimental? So you can package poison into bottles/cans. Can you also make Soul shards(from Soul Shards 2) work on these new mobs (so i can make an army of pigmen :P) Can you make it to create soul glass that you need to combine an Ichorite shard and soul sand to create the glass cause that recipe conflicts with Gany's Nether mod. Thanks for the mod can't wait to see how it turns out! Will be following this mod!
For some reason I cant open the spoilers.... I wanna download it but I wanna know what mess im getting into before I do. Help anyone?
(It shows the spoiler button then more than one 'spoiler box' and when I click show it turns to hide but nothing happens. Yes I did reload the page.)

I don't know what it could be... It's working fine for me and I believe it is working fine for everyone else...
Can I suggest something?
I like the idea of Nether Spiders, and they look really cool. Here's my idea: how about instead of poison, they'd light you on fire. This would be more unique for a spider and would make them much more dangerous. It would also fit the fiery theme of the Nether. Due to their dangerousness, they should not spawn in groups, just like normal spiders.
Also, I think they should have a more original name. For example, the Nether equivalent to Skeletons is Wither Skeletons. Wither is an entirely new name, as opposed to Nether Skeleton. Besides, the whole "Nether ___" is used quite often by mods and is kind of unoriginal at this point. How about something like...Tarantulighter? Ya know, it would light you on fire, and tarantulas are spiders, so...well that's just a suggestion.

Great idea! I like the idea of having tarantulighters in the game. However, then Venomite armor (which gives immunity to poison) has less of a use. I'll put a poll up on the matter.
Any way you could do a modular mod out of this? I personally would like nothing more to have more mobs, but all the ores and other stuff I can do without, because with Better Dungeons 2, Natura and Biomes O Plenty and Ruins, my nether is pretty much saturated when it comes to blocks, ores, strucktures and whatnot.
Mobs though...can never have enough of them.
In one of the next updates, I'm going to be adding a config, able to cancel any ore from generating and or Vilewood trees. Until then, I guess you will have to just live with the ores, though I'm sure you'll find them pretty useful, especially Ichorite.
Great idea! I like the idea of having tarantulighters in the game. However, then Venomite armor (which gives immunity to poison) has less of a use. I'll put a poll up on the matter.
Oh, maybe Venomite could prevent against a new mob! We could have the Killer Spider, which is the same size as the normal Spider, but uses the same idea you had for the Nether Spider. They would spawn somewhat uncommonly compared to Tarantulighters (kind of like how Endermen are somewhat uncommon at night compared to Skeletons), but would have their own spawners in Nether Fortresses. The spawners there could be guarded by cobwebs, much like Abandoned Mineshafts. Anyways, these guys are pretty nasty and have 12 health, so the Nether would have a better challenge. Wither Jockeys (Wither Skeletons like Spider Jockeys) could now very rarely appear with Killer Spiders instead of normal spiders (they actually can spawn with normal spiders in vanilla). This way, fans of the old and the new can both enjoy this.

That is an amazing idea! If you have any other great ideas like this, please, please, PM me them. Perhaps they could be called Venom Mites, or Poison Spiders, as "Killer" Spiders might not be the best fitting name.
Hey Made a Showcase for your Mod, Loved playing around with it and it shows great potential. The Video will be live at 1:30 Pm EST Enjoy and Keep me Updated

I am planning on adding Phoenixes to the game, which will drop phoenix feathers, which are needed to make phoenix arrows, which will set anything they hit on fire.

A. Definitely! In fact, if you send me a link to the texture pack, I'll put it up here on the main page.
Q. Is there an official server for your mod?
A. There will be soon! If you are interested in helping build the main lobby, or want to be an admin, PM me.
Q. Can I make a mod review?
A. Absolutely!
Mod Support:
BiomesOPlenty, Buildcraft, and Railcraft are now all supported with NetherX. NetherX's Nether biomes and BiomesOPlenty's will both spawn, for the best Nether experience. Also, poison can now be pumped through Buildcraft pipes and put into Buildcraft and Railcraft tanks.
Upcoming Features:
- more types of nether dungeons, with dangerous mobs
- more mobs, such as phoenixes, perhaps
- an overhaul to the current loot of Nether Fortresses, to add more unique things and remove stuff like diamond horse armor, which doesn't even belong in The Nether.

I don't know what it could be... It's working fine for me and I believe it is working fine for everyone else...
Check out my mod idea! http://www.minecraft...r-with-bending/
I like the idea of Nether Spiders, and they look really cool. Here's my idea: how about instead of poison, they'd light you on fire. This would be more unique for a spider and would make them much more dangerous. It would also fit the fiery theme of the Nether. Due to their dangerousness, they should not spawn in groups, just like normal spiders.
Also, I think they should have a more original name. For example, the Nether equivalent to Skeletons is Wither Skeletons. Wither is an entirely new name, as opposed to Nether Skeleton. Besides, the whole "Nether ___" is used quite often by mods and is kind of unoriginal at this point. How about something like...Tarantulighter? Ya know, it would light you on fire, and tarantulas are spiders, so...well that's just a suggestion.
Great idea! I like the idea of having tarantulighters in the game. However, then Venomite armor (which gives immunity to poison) has less of a use. I'll put a poll up on the matter.
In one of the next updates, I'm going to be adding a config, able to cancel any ore from generating and or Vilewood trees. Until then, I guess you will have to just live with the ores, though I'm sure you'll find them pretty useful, especially Ichorite.
Oh, maybe Venomite could prevent against a new mob! We could have the Killer Spider, which is the same size as the normal Spider, but uses the same idea you had for the Nether Spider. They would spawn somewhat uncommonly compared to Tarantulighters (kind of like how Endermen are somewhat uncommon at night compared to Skeletons), but would have their own spawners in Nether Fortresses. The spawners there could be guarded by cobwebs, much like Abandoned Mineshafts. Anyways, these guys are pretty nasty and have 12 health, so the Nether would have a better challenge. Wither Jockeys (Wither Skeletons like Spider Jockeys) could now very rarely appear with Killer Spiders instead of normal spiders (they actually can spawn with normal spiders in vanilla). This way, fans of the old and the new can both enjoy this.
That is an amazing idea! If you have any other great ideas like this, please, please, PM me them. Perhaps they could be called Venom Mites, or Poison Spiders, as "Killer" Spiders might not be the best fitting name.
You have completely swayed my opinion.

Thanks for the mod review, I'm excited to see it!
