Main article: The Nether

When someone is completing the game, or just have interest on where found some items on the Creative Inventory, then they discover that the Nether is one of Minecraft's three dimensions, only accsesible with a Nether Portal, which can be made manually or be found and repaired, featuring a hellish landscape with no access to the sky and five biomes, which are the following:

  • The nether wastes, a barren biome.
  • The crimson forest, a red nether wart biome full of aggressive mobs.
  • The warped forest, a blue and enderman-filled biome.
  • The soulsand valley, a dangerous desert-like biome riddled with skeletons and ghasts.
  • And the basalt deltas, a volcanic biome with steep cliffs and lava deltas littered with blackstone.

The Nether may be the most dangerous dimension, but it has many exclusive blocks and features. Many blocks are just decorative and for building, but the majority serve also another purpose. The blocks present include: netherack, nylium, gold and quartz ores, lava, gravel, mushrooms, fungi, fire and many more. Pop up each block in the video as they're mentioned, with "many more" popping up any remaining blocks, such as stems, nether bricks, blackstone and ancient debris

The Nether is also home to mobs that cannot be found anywhere else. The piglins, hoglins, ghasts and magma cubes spawn in most biomes, while blazes, wither skeletons and piglin brutes spawn in nether fortresses and bastions. Zombified piglins also spawn in this dimension, but aren't unique to it, they also spawn in the overworld in certain conditions. Lastly, there's zoglins, but they don't spawn naturally, only when you take a hoglin out of the Nether.

While the Nether is limited in height, players have found ways to get through the ceiling, revealing a completely flat terrain of bedrock. In Java Edition, you can actually build here and find the occasional mushroom or huge fungi on top of the ceiling, while in Bedrock Edition this area cannot be build on and no blocks are generated.
