YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses is a comprehensive mod that completely redesigns Minecraft's Nether fortresses. It focuses on adventure and world generation, transforming standard fortresses into more complex and engaging structures.

This mod is available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.

Installing YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the mods folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses from Modrinth for your specific loader and Minecraft version.
  2. Access your server files via SFTP or the File Manager.
  3. Upload the downloaded .jar file into your server's /mods directory.
  4. Restart your server. Ensure you have the necessary library mods installed if required by the mod page.

Common issues

  • Missing dependencies: Ensure you have the required library mods (such as YUNG's API) installed, as the mod will fail to load without them.
  • Version mismatch: Always ensure the mod version matches your server's Minecraft version exactly (e.g., 1.21.1 vs 1.21.4).
  • World generation conflicts: If you are using other world-generation mods, ensure they are compatible with YUNG's suite of mods to prevent structure overlapping.

Performance

YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses adds complex structures to the Nether, which can slightly increase CPU usage during initial chunk generation. If you notice lag while exploring, ensure your server has adequate RAM allocated. On AwakeNode, upgrading your plan automatically updates your Xmx settings. If you are on another host, ensure your startup command includes sufficient -Xmx memory allocation for your player count and mod list.

Questions

Does this mod require a world reset?+

It is highly recommended to generate a new world or explore ungenerated chunks in the Nether to see the new structures.

Is this mod compatible with other Nether mods?+

Generally yes, but it may conflict with other mods that significantly alter Nether fortress generation.

Do I need to install this on my client as well?+

Yes, if you are playing on a local instance or a modpack, all players must have the mod installed to connect to the server.

Which mod loaders are supported?+

The mod is fully supported on Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.
