Nether Challenges

This datapack adds over 50+ new advancements of varying difficulty for a vanilla Nether-only survival challenge.

To keep the challenge as vanilla as possible, this pack does not make gameplay changes other than experience rewards and automatically sets the default spawn in the nether. All attainable in-game advancements are kept, and several have been reworked to account for limited resources in the nether.

Sample challenges

• Hydroplosive – _Kill three Blazes using a single water bottle splash_
• The Conquerer – _Remove every Chest and Gold Block in a Bastion Remnant_
• Nether Hunted – _Kill one of every hostile monster_
• Jockey Tower – _Get chased a baby Hoglin with three riders_
• Recipe Head – _Discover all crafting recipes_

Features

• Four advancement categories: Story, Adventure, Structures, and Challenges
• Two hidden categories
• Features vanilla gameplay quirks and finding rare loot
• Multiplayer compatible
