Description

Cinderscapes: Forged Dawn

An independently maintained Forge and NeoForge port of Cinderscapes for modern Minecraft versions

Cinderscapes: Forged Dawn is an unofficial port of the original Cinderscapes mod, developed for Fabric by TerraformersMC.

The project brings the original Cinderscapes content to Forge and NeoForge, adapting its biomes, world generation, blocks, and other features for Minecraft 1.20.1 and newer supported versions.

Check the Versions tab before downloading and make sure you select the correct file for your Minecraft version and mod loader.

About Cinderscapes

Cinderscapes expands the Nether with four new biomes, each featuring its own terrain, vegetation, resources, and atmosphere.

The mod introduces new blocks, plants, fungi, and environmental details while retaining the familiar style of vanilla Minecraft. Custom world generation, music, and visual effects make the new biomes distinct from the existing Nether environments.

Biomes

  • Ashy Shoals – Ash-covered landscapes with volcanic terrain and vegetation
  • Blackstone Shales – Dark environments featuring rugged blackstone formations
  • Luminous Grove – Glowing vegetation and colorful Nether landscapes
  • Quartz Cavern – Quartz-rich caverns with distinctive terrain and formations

Features

  • 4 new Nether biomes
  • Custom Nether terrain and biome generation
  • New natural and decorative blocks
  • New plants, fungi, and vegetation
  • Additional natural resources and building materials
  • Custom environmental details and visual effects
  • Original Cinderscapes music and atmospheric elements

Supported platforms

  • Forge
  • NeoForge

Platform availability may differ between Minecraft versions.
