HOGLINS

+ Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the Nether
+ They attack players on sight. Be careful - they can easily knock you off a ledge!
+ Hoglins drop pork sand sometimes leather, but not willingly
+ You can breed Hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi. Do so at your own risk
+ Baby Hoglins like to pretend they are tough - but don't worry, they're more bark than bite
+ Hoglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become Zoglins fairly quicky - but who would ever bring a Hoglin to the Overworld?

 

NETHERITE

+ A new high-level material found in the Nether. Use it to upgrade your diamond gear!

 

HOW TO MAKE NETHERITE

1. Mine ancient debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At your own risk though. No insurance coverage for that
2. Refine it into Netherite scrap in a furnace or blast furnace
3. Combine four Netherite scrap with four gold ingots in a crafting table to make a Netherite ingot
4. Use a smithing table to fuse the Netherite ingot with your diamond weapon, tool, or armor

 

 

NETHERITE EFFECTS

+ Netherite items float in lava – just so you don't lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath
+ Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold)
+ Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond
+ Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond
+ Netherite armor have higher toughness and durability than diamond
+ Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such
+ Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon. Weird flex but ok
+ ...and it looks cool!

 

PIGLINS

+ Piglins are an aggressive civilization that lives in the Nether
+ They mostly hang around in Crimson Forests, but you might find some in the Nether Wastes too
+ They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
+ However, if you dress appropiately, they will see you as a respectable figure, Or tolerable at least
+ Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups. When a fight is happening, everyone wants in
+ Piglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become zombified fairly quickly
+ Wither skeletons and Withers are historic enemies of the Piglins and will be attacked on sight

 

STRIDER

A new mob living the lava lakes of the Nether.

+ Strides on top of the surface of lava
+ Can be saddled, but has a will of its own
+ Really likes the smell of warped fungi – might even be convinced to follow it

 

ZOGLINS

+ Zoglins are zombified Hoglins – the result of bringing a Hoglin into the Overworld
+ Unlike Hoglins, they can't be bred or fed, and they don't care about warped fungus
+ Beware – these beasts are raving mad and attack just about everything they see!

 

EFFECTS

+ Increased view distance in lava slightly while having the fire resistance effect

 

SMITHING RECIPES

There's now a smithing recipe type. Recipes of this type are used in the smithing table to upgrade one item type into another type, maintaining tags.

+ result - Item specifying the resulting type of the upgraded item
