The Nether is another dimension of Craftland. The Craftland Nether has all the features of the Vanilla Minecraft Nether; however, Zombie Pigmen are observed to be constantly aggressive in Craftland. The rules of Craftland do not apply to the Nether; griefing is allowed and pvp is on. Players may kill each other, blow up TNT wherever they want or grief anything that is not protected by WorldGuard. For these reasons, there aren't many structures in the Nether.

Advantages of the Nether

Going to the nether has the following advantages:

  • You may find Glowstone or Soul Sand. There is also plenty of netherrack. Netherrack isn't usually considered a good looking building material, so try to avoid using it for your constructions. It is useful if you are working with fire as it burns indefinitely after being ignited and can be switched (to burning or not burning) using redstone circuits (just power or unpower it with redstone to ignite it or stop the fire).
  • You may find Zombie Pigmen and Ghasts. Zombie Pigmen drop pork. Killing a Ghast during mob hunt will count as (+2) for your score, unlike any other monster. There are achievements connected with killing many zombie Pigmen and Ghasts.
  • You can find plenty of lava sources in the nether.
  • You can build efficient mushrooms farms in the nether as the dim light is ideal for mushrooms and overworld monsters will not spawn. They will never drop when being placed. Just flatten a large area, place some mushrooms and idle to let them grow. Farming mushrooms also lets your herbalism skill increase fast.

Traveling to the Nether

There are many ways to get to the Nether:

  • Make an obsidian portal and light it with a flint and steel, or ask to use another person's portal.
  • If you're able to use someone's portal to visit the Nether, you may make a warp, thus eliminating the need for a Nether Portal.
  • Ask to use someone else's warp.
  • Set your home to the Nether and use /home.
  • Teleport to a player in the nether (if allowed).
