The Amplified Nether Data Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) transforms the traditional Nether into a vastly taller and more immersive environment. By extending the vertical height of the Nether to a full 256 blocks, this data pack removes the dull, unused Nether roof and replaces it with extended terrain generation. Without altering the core identity of the Nether, it creates a far more dynamic, vertical landscape full of opportunities for exploration, building, and danger. The result is a more exciting, expanded Nether that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
