Incendium is a data pack that completely overhauls the Nether, adding 8 new biomes, large structures to explore, custom mobs to fight, and unique weapons to find. It uses only vanilla blocks and textures, so no companion resource pack is needed. The current release supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 and is distributed both as a plain data pack and as a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.
What Incendium Changes in the Nether
The pack adds 8 distinct Nether biomes, each with unique terrain, atmosphere, and inhabitants. Notable biomes include the Quartz Flats, Withered Forest, Infernal Dunes, Ash Barrens, and Toxic Heap. Each zone has its own structures, enemy types, and loot, which rewards thorough exploration.

Multiplayer and Server Use

Questions about this entry.
How do I install Incendium?
Download the .zip from Modrinth and place it in your world's datapacks/ folder, then run /reload in-game. For dedicated servers, add it to world/datapacks/ before starting. If you use Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, or Quilt, download the mod version and drop it in your mods/ folder instead.
Does Incendium need a resource pack?
No. Incendium builds all its biomes and structures using standard vanilla Minecraft blocks, so no companion resource pack is required. It is compatible with any resource pack you already use.
Does Incendium work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. Incendium is installed on the server side only. Players do not need any client-side installation to join a server running it. It works on dedicated servers, LAN hosts, and Realms as long as the server owner installs the pack.
Which Minecraft version does Incendium support?
The current release (v5.4.12) supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11. Check the Modrinth project page for the version history and updates for newer releases.
Will Incendium corrupt my world if I remove it?
Removing a worldgen data pack from an active save can cause issues at the border of already-generated and new chunks in the Nether. Back up your world before removing Incendium from an existing save to avoid corrupted chunk edges.
