Most of these plants require nearby lava to grow, as well as netherrack tilled by a golden hoe, but others might just require netherrack, and one can only be planted on the side of a block of obsidian. There are now seven new types of plants spread throughout the Nether, such as flaming cacti and transparent wheat, and these can be collected and replanted allowing for a very unusual form of farming. However, arguably the most useful new addition, and in my opinion the most welcome one, are the new resource-generating crops. Massive wasp hives dot the roof of the dimension, each of which is guarded by deadly wasps that will attack anyone who gets close to the honey within.Īnd many of the biomes have something extremely valuable within them, such as the massive bones sticking up in the Boneyard that can be ground into fertilizer, the trees in the Undergarden which might be your only source of wood in this dimension, or the ash generated in the Phantasmagoric Inferno which can be mixed up and turned into coal, all of which gives you plenty of reasons to explore and possibly even settle in the Nether.īlazing Cactoids can be cut down and the parts smelted, and then those pieces can be rebuilt into blaze rods. There are also new phantom enemies that will send you flying if it can get close to you. The most important of these are the rare blood pools that act like water from the Overworld, but unlike water, blood does not evaporate if used in the Nether, meaning it can still be used to irrigate crops or put out fires.

But there are more than just visual changes added to the Nether several of Biomes O' Plenty's Nether changes affect gameplay as well.
