The nether is the second dimension that craftland has. It has all the features that are also part of the vanilla nether. In the nether there are no rules. Players may kill each other, blow up TNT where ever they want or grief anything that is not protected by WorldGuard. That is also the reason why there aren't many buildings 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.
How to get there
There are three ways to get to the nether:
1. Make an obsidian portal and light it with a flint and steel.
2. Warp to /nether (this will not take you to the nether spawn)
3. If you have already visited the nether one time and made a warp, then you can warp to that warp.
