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 whereever 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, which however can also be found in the Swamp world in spooky rooms. Netherrack is usually not 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 indefinitly 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 porkchop. Killing a Ghast gets you significantly more coins than killing a normal aggressive mob (like a zombie). There are achievements connected with killing many zombie pigmen and ghasts.
  • You can find plenty of lava sources in the nether. Those can be converted to obsidian or used to generate stone or cobblestone.
  • You can build efficient mushrooms farms in the nether as the dim light is ideal for mushrooms. 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.
