A complete redesign of Minecraft's Nether fortresses!
A complete overhaul of Minecraft's Nether fortresses! YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses completely redesigns Nether fortresses from the ground up. Compared to vanilla, Better Fortresses are much larger, more complex, and more rewarding. Each fortress is comprised of three parts — the bridge networks, the Keep, and the Lava Halls that extend deep underground.
YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses also includes built-in Create compatibility! If you're using Create, certain parts of the fortress have a chance of spawning using Create pieces. Note that this is an optional feature — Create is not required to run this mod. Be sure to use the latest release of Create for your Minecraft version! Note that this is for 1.19.2+ only.
YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:
- YUNG's Ocean Monuments
- YUNG's Better Witch Huts
- YUNG's Extras
- Infernal Expansion, Better Nether & other Nether biome mods
- Apocalyptic Fortress: The AF fortress will spawn alongside the Better Fortress
- Bygone Nether: Better Fortresses will spawn instead of Bygone Nether's enhanced vanilla fortress
ABOUT THIS LISTING
This page describes YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses by YUNGNICKYOUNG. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on Modrinth on 24 October 2026: https://modrinth.com/mod/yungs-better-nether-fortresses
Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.
The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements
Game versions
26.1.2
26.1.1
MOD LOADER
This release is built for Neoforge. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.
GAME VERSION
Built for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.
DEPENDENCIES
Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.
Installation
1. Install Neoforge for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.
2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.
4. Launch the game with the Neoforge profile selected.
ON A SERVER
Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.
UPDATING
Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
This release downloads from cdn.modrinth.com, not from us, so
there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
- Improve replacement of vanilla structures in /locate command, and in mods such as Explorer's Compass.
- Fix unsafe call to ServiceLoader#load.
- Remove mixin refmap, reducing log spam.
