It’s time to turn the heat up (seriously, I’m freezing!). Luckily for me, I can now work up a sweat, as the Nether Update Beta is finally here! If you own an Xbox One, a Windows 10 PC, or an Android device, you can get it, too! Isn’t that lava-ly? Sorry...
What newness awaits in the Nether? You could just dive in and see for yourself, or you could read this short list of highlights that we’ve made. No pressure, but we made this for you.
Mining for gold? Be careful, because the Piglins are watching! These half-pig, half-who-knows-what beasts may attack on sight or barter with you – depending on whether you impress them. Think of them as the popular kids of the Nether, but with swords instead of iPhones.
Did you hear that? No, it’s not a Zombified Piglin, it’s my stomach. Forgetting to pack your lunch in the Nether can be a fatal mistake, but that’s about to change – as long as you’re tough enough to take on a Hoglin. As cruel fate has it, these creatures are both highly aggressive and the main source of food in the Nether. Not only do their tusks look intimidating, but they can also push you around quite a bit. It may sound relatively harmless, but remember: you’re most likely surrounded by lava.
Want a change in scenery? No need to leave the Nether, because now you can explore the Soulsand Valleys, and the Crimson and Warped Forests. Each of these biomes comes with new blocks, plants, fungi, and items that you can discover and experiment with to your heart’s desire.
Need an upgrade to survive in this significantly more hostile environment? Check out Netherite – the newest and toughest material in Minecraft. You’re gonna lava it! Again, sorry. Deck yourself in Netherite armor, grab a matching sword, and you’ll be A-okay. Maybe.
How to join
As always, keep in mind that beta releases are work in progress and can be unstable, so you won’t have access to Realms or be able to join non-beta players while using this version. Also, any worlds played while in the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of the game – so please make copies of worlds to prevent losing them. You can find detailed instructions on how to join here.
If you encounter a bug, we would really appreciate it if you reported it using our official Issue Tracker. Found something that works but can be improved? Your feedback is essential to making Minecraft the best game it can be – so please share your thoughts here.

Biome fog color smoothly blends between biomes. Smooth.

Huge warped fungi make up the "trees" of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor

Soulsand Valley
Soulsand valleys can now be found in the Nether!
An open space made mostly of soul sand and soul soil
Basalt pillars span from floor to ceiling
Ash falls through the air
A light blue glow envelopes the valley
Beware of skeletons here
Blocks
Many new block types have been added!
Two new non-flammable wood-like materials – crimson stems and warped stems
Basalt blocks – you can find them as pillars but they can be placed in any direction
New ground surface blocks: crimson nylium and warped nylium
New vegetation: nether sprouts, crimson roots, and warped roots
Two types of fungi: crimson and warped – try using bone meal to grow them!
Warped wart blocks
Weeping vines that grow from the bottom of a block downwards!
Weeping vines are now climbable!

Soul soil can be used to craft soul torches – and those can be crafted into soul lanterns!
The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
Using bone meal on Netherrack can now spread nylium
Warped and crimson roots and fungi can be placed into pots
Target Block (experimental)
Because let's face it: your aim could use some practice.
The closer you hit to the center, the larger the redstone signal!
You will need one hay block and four redstone for this recipe
Added to experimental gameplay until it acts consistently over all platforms
Mobs
Piglins
Piglins are an aggressive civilization that lives in the Nether
They mostly hang around in the crimson forest, but you might find some in the nether wastes too
They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
However, if you dress appropriately they will see you as a respectable figure, or tolerable at least
Piglins are suspicious of strangers and if they see you opening a chest, or mining a block of gold, they will assume that you're stealing and will treat you accordingly
Piglins LOVE gold and get very distracted by gold items
Gold ingots are currency to Piglins and you can throw ingots at them or right-click them with an ingot to barter for various goods
Piglins sometimes get hungry and hunt Hoglins for food. Or they try at least. The results... vary
Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups, and when a fight is happening everyone wants in
Piglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become zombified fairly quickly
Piglins are creeped out by soul fire and Zombified Piglins, and will stay clear whenever possible
Wither skeletons are a historic enemy and Piglins will attack on sight
Baby Piglins are not as dangerous
Hoglins
Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the Nether
They attack players on sight, so be careful, they can easily knock you off a ledge!
Hoglins drop pork, but not willingly
You can breed Hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi, but do so at your own risk
Hoglins get hunted by Piglins sometimes, but they don't go down without a fight!
Despite this, Hoglins and Piglins aren't enemies – they are more like an ecosystem
Baby Hoglins like to pretend they are tough – but don't worry, they are more like angry puppies with no teeth
Want to keep Hoglins off your back? Pro tip: Hoglins hate the smell of warped fungi!
Zombified Piglins
Zombie Pigmen are now known as Zombified Piglins, and they now have ears... well, at least one ear
Netherite
A new high level material found in the Nether. Use it to upgrade your diamond gear!
Netherite effects
Netherite items float in lava, so you don't lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath
Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold)
Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond
Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond
Netherite armor has higher toughness and durability than diamond
Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such
Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon. Weird flex but ok
And it looks cool!
How to make Netherite
Mine ancient debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At your own risk. No insurance coverage for that!
Combine 4 Netherite scrap with 4 gold ingots in a crafting table (for now) to make a Netherite ingot
Refine it into Netherite scrap in a furnace or blast furnace

Damaged bows can now be used to craft dispensers (MCPE-55861)
Despawn Rules have been changed to closely match Java Despawn Rules (MCPE-21856)
This change allows mobs to more consistently spawn around the player and improve the frequency of mobs spawning underground while the player is exploring caves, as well as trying to farm areas that spawn specific mobs. (eg. Wither skeletons, in Nether fortresses)
Any mobs that have been set to persist (tempted, name-tagged, tamed, bred, etc) will never naturally despawn
Almost all naturally spawning mobs will automatically despawn when they are 54 blocks or further away from the nearest players
Fish automatically despawn at a max range of 40 blocks or further
If mobs are between 32 and 54 blocks from the nearest player, they must not take damage for 30 seconds as well as successfully roll a 1 in 800 chance to despawn

Ender Dragon
