One thing I like about the overworld is the biome variants. Jungles aren't just jungles- they might be sparse jungles, or bamboo jungles.
In ReNether I'm looking to make the nether a lot more diverse, so I'm planning a good number of variants- like the Calcified Forest, shown here!
The Calcified Forest is variant on the crimson forest- it's got more gravel, sparser trees, and a new plant(?)- Marrowsage, which can be crafted into Marrow Pigment.
I go more into pigments in This Post Here!
Of course, though, the main feature of the biome is its Enamel Stalks! This is another new plant(??) which can grow either upwards or downwards, depending on its placement! They grow pretty fast... as long as you're in the nether. Bringing them out of their natural environment and into the overworld (or end, for whatever reason) hampers that a bit.
By harvesting Enamel Stalks, you can make a new set of wood! Sure, it may be unsettling to live in a house that could quite possibly be made of teeth, but hey. White planks!
For ReNether I knew I wanted to implement a good handful of new buildings blocks, so I've added some new items I'm calling Pigments!
These are Crimson, Warped, Ashen, Amber, and Marrow Pigments
They're found through similar methods to dyes- Crimson and Warped pigments are made from crafting crimson and warped roots, respectively. You'll have to wait and see where the others come from though :)
Pigments can be used to dye Terrorcotta (couldn't resist the pun), which is made with Ash and Soul Soil. Terrorcotta can be glazed, as well as made into some bricks.
Also here's a good look at all the glazed textures
The pack will also has a version with lessened enchantment glint, cause the vanilla one is overpowering and the Vanilla Tweaks one is too sleek imo. Here’s a comparison between vanilla and what I got so far
Wanted to share this really cool 1.20 seed I’m using for a new survival world! It has a bunch of cherry groves very close to spawn, and there’s a huge (4500 blocks across) desert/mesa just south as well 👀
