Official Forge port is WIP by RedRoseWarrior
This mod was designed as improvement for the Nether, adding more biomes, plants and materials into it. I've tried to make its content unique and interesting for exploring as also useful.
Mod was designed as compatible with other nether mods (especially in world generation). For other desirable compatibilities please write on issue tracker.
Primal things, that this mod adds:
1. Many new plants to the Nether;
2. New mobs for the Nether;
3. New unique biomes;
4. Non-vertical volumetric biome system (supporting other mods);
5. New materials, recipes, food, tools and items;
6. Ability to farm some materials using plant farms or mob farms;
7. Many nether structures, including big and rare cities;
8. Ability to configure presence of blocks, items, structures, biomes and plant density (and a config GUI with ModsMenu mod);
9. Integrations with some other mods.
1.12 version is for Forge, newer versions (1.15 and later) are for Fabric.

How to optimize mod for weak PC:
- Open mod config (located in "...minecraft/config/betternether.json");
- Open "betternether.json" with text editor (I personally recommend Notepad++);
- Search in text to "global_plant_and_structures_density[def: 1.0]" and replace its value from 1.0 to 0.5 or 0.25 - this will reduce plants in world on generation;
- Search for "cities" and find "generate[def: true]" in figure brackets. Replace its value from true to false - this will disable nether cities generation, they are large and consume a lot of memory;
- Search for "terrain" and find "terrain_cleaning_pass[def: true]" and "world_fixing_pass[def: true]". Replace their values from true to false. This will disable world fixing passes - terrain became more weird, but worldgen will run faster.
All config changes requires game restart. I hope this will help you.

Some tips [1.12]:
- if you have "single server tick took 60.00 seconds" crash you can do this.
- If you have extreme nether generation time lag or "cascade worldgen error" you can do this.
- If you have lags on world saving - disable nether cities generation in the config.

FAQ:
Where is config file?
It is in "config" folder (<minecraft_folder>/config/betternether.json). You can use "ModList" mod to see some config values in game, but not all (config is very large, it's hard to represent it full).
Here is information about JSON format.
Is this mod compatible with X mod?
Mod was designed to be compatible with others. If there is an issue - report it on GitHub.
Can you make version for X Minecraft?
Only for newer versions (later than 1.15 and for 1.15) and not immediately. Sometimes update is not required and last version works well.
Can you make forge version?
No, but if you really want it - you can make it by yourself and publish for others (MIT License). Porting such big mod to another modloader is a heavy task, due to not only large amount of code. It modified different game aspects - mushrooms growing on custom mycelium, maps rendering, fog distance, armor rendering fixes, recipe building, biomes modification etc, which is not possible with current Forge tools. It is possible to use third party libraries, but Forge code is much less stable than vanilla one and probably each new version will be incompatible with most code.
Will you continue 1.12 development?
No, 1.12 is not supported anymore. Last version is stable enough to play, development is focused on modern versions. If you have issues with 1.12 you can use information from "Some tips [1.12]" above.
Does mod have a wiki?
Yes, but it is very incomplete and a bit outdated. You can actually help with it. Here it is.

In reply to bilgoskumben:
Please read description before leaving comments
Although the nether city looks incredible, I do wish it were more interactive. Even a few loot chests would help.
In reply to rougedarkdragon:
There are plans to add chest and procedural dungeons to the city in 1.17 update
Anyone here ported this into forge 1.16.4 ? If you did send me a link
In reply to batatas2344:
Did you read the first line of the description?
In reply to paulevs:
Oh sorry didn't realize it's there, I saw someone saying it won't be turned to forge but it was on another mod, Sorry.
If implemented with BYG floating fossils spawn around cities and molten lava pillars spawn through them
In reply to Shoes4Clues:
Can you explain what you mean?
Great job on those screenshots. They really showcase the true skill and effort that was put into this mod.
In reply to rougedarkdragon:
Thank you! Actually some things looks outdated in modern MC and are most textures looks like "programmers art" (and they actually are). There are very huge plans to update this mod on 1.17 (actually completely rewrite it), there is a roadmap in our discord server
hey! sorry to be that guy but when do you estimate the forge port will be released? im making a private modded smp with my friends and we really want this mod in the modpack, and are willing to wait for it.
In reply to ElloelGetGood:
This Saturday is what I’m shooting for, no guarantee though
In reply to redrosewarrior1:
thanks for letting me know, keep up the good work! :)
In reply to redrosewarrior1:
AWESOME! I'm super pumped to use this mod with ice and fire. I have some ideas for the two
In reply to redrosewarrior1:
Thanks so much for making a forge port! This is an absolutely stunning mod and I can't wait to use it with forge mods.
In reply to redrosewarrior1:
Just want to give you more encouragement, and say thanks for spending your personal time bring this to forge. Putting together a new batch of mods for a private server for my daughters, nephew and myself, and I think they would get a kick out of seeing the nether like this.
In reply to redrosewarrior1:
You are the savior of the forge players! I'm really looking forward to it and wish you good luck with the development.
