Nether Wastes

The Nether wastes is the most common biome found in the Nether.

Description
The Nether wastes is a barren biome composed of mostly netherrack. It has extensive lava seas with glowstone blobs hanging from the ceiling. Blobs of nether quartz, nether gold ore, and blackstone generate in the wastes (where ore is most visible) with the more rare Ancient Debris found unexposed within the terrain. Gravel and soul sand are found among its coastlines.

Most of the Nether’s residents can be found throughout the maroon-tinted wasteland including: Ghasts, zombified piglins, magma cubes, striders, piglins and the occasional enderman. Nether fortresses and bastion remnants are present as well.

Trivia

 * $$, if the Nether Wastes is used as the biome for Overworld generation, although the terrain is entirely netherrack, no ore is generated (including nether quartz, nether gold ore, ancient debris, etc.). Caverns and lakes (with red-colored water) still generate. The player is still able to place water in an Overworld Nether Wastes biome, but trying to sleep in a bed still causes an explosion.
