### Summary
\nThis data pack assumes that the Nether is spicy hot!<\/p>\n

Real Nether is a data pack which aims to make the Nether a little harder while also providing a new twist to the way that Netherite works, and new ways to traverse the Nether.<\/p>\n

The vanilla Netherite has been replaced with Netherite Alloy. Use a Netherite Forge to get *real* Netherite.<\/p>\n

# Function<\/p>\n

Going into the Nether **without** one of these will cause you to combust:
\n– Full Netherite Armor _(not Netherite Alloy)_
\n– Ice Totem _(in off-hand)_
\n – Icy Soul
\n – Frozen Spirit
\n – Glaciated Wraith
\n– Fire Resistance
\n– Inside Powdered Snow<\/p>\n

### _\u00a1 New Features !_
\n**– The Netherite Forge!**
\n _(a new player-made structure)_<\/p>\n

The Netherite Forge is made from polished blackstone _(which is acquired in the Nether)_, and is used to smelt Ancient Debris and Netherite Scrap, producing Netherite Scrap and Netherite Nuggets respectively.<\/p>\n

**– The Ice Machine**<\/p>\n

The Ice Machine is used to make Ice _(from Ice Shards)_, Ice Totems, and Packed\/Blue ice.<\/p>\n

**– The Netherite Smithtable**<\/p>\n

The Netherite Smithtable is used to create Netherite Items, such as: Ingots, Swords, Pickaxes, Armor, etc. . .<\/p>\n
