Nether Expanded

Vanilla themed mod aimed at improving the availability of the nether as an option for basing using new mobs, blocks, tools and armor.

Added Mobs

Spoiler

• Nether Cow (Warped and crimson forest variants)

Added Blocks

Spoiler

• Lava Cane (Spawns in the nether on magma/beside lava)
• Ancient Cache (Similar spawn conditions to ancient debris, drops randomised loot on break)
• Nether Coppor Ore (drops copper nuggets)
• Nether Iron Ore (drops iron nuggets)
• Waxed (non-flammable) variations of most wood blocks, see full list below

Added Items

Spoiler

• Lava Wax (Makes blocks unflammable, removed with axe)
• Gold Copper Alloy (Mix of 4 gold and 5 copper)
• Gold Plating Smithing Template (Found in bastions, netherite armor only)
• Copper Nugget (combine 9 to make a copper ingot)

Added Tools/Armor

Spoiler

• Gold Alloy Tools/Armor (Equal to iron quality, made with Gold Copper Alloy)
• Gold Plated Armor (Netherite Armor that makes piglins ignore you)

Waxed Blocks simply remove the flammability of the base version of the block so it can survive near lava safely. Wax can be applied with lava wax, obtained from milking nether cows with a bottle, and can be removed using an axe.
