Amplified Nether is a pack that aims to make the Nether 256 blocks tall while retaining every other detail as exactly as possible.

This is an updated version of my original "Perfectionist's Amplified Nether" pack, with support for 1.17 as well as much better looks and performance. In general, I place an emphasis on good biome borders and accurate surface builders. I've also enabled noise caves in order to give the nether a better feel.

I've gone through significant effort, and attention to detail, to make this amplified Nether as faithful a recreation as possible. You'll recognize the familiar curving patterns of soul sand and soil soil in the Soul Sand Valleys, the basalt ceilings in Basalt Deltas, and the patches of nether wart blocks and netherrack in the Crimson and Warped Forests.

Why did I need to put so much effort into this pack? Well, normally, if you just try to extend the nether's height upwards, many things like surface builders will break. For example, the unique patterns on the Soul Sand Valley's floor and ceiling, the patches of netherrack and nether wart blocks in the Crimson and Warped Forests just won't exist, and the Basalt Deltas' ceiling turns to netherrack above y=128. Basalt pillars in the Soul Sand Valley won't work at all, and in general most things just die because of hardcoding.

This pack is partially based on the excellent work in FireNH's original "Taller Nether" pack and was made with permission.

This pack is NOT compatible with Incendium, or any other Nether expansion pack.
