Nether's Exoticism: Exotic Fruits of the Nether
Nether's Exoticism adds five real-world exotic fruits to the Nether, one for each nether biome, each with its own effect. This guide covers them.
The five fruits
Each nether biome hosts a different fruit, and eating it grants a matching effect:
Jabuticaba — spawns in Basalt Deltas, gives a Cure effect.
Kiwano — spawns in the Warped Forest, gives Fire Resistance.
Rambutan — spawns in the Nether Wastes, gives Regeneration.- Buddha's Hand — spawns in the Soul Sand Valley, gives Night Vision.
Pitaya — spawns in the Crimson Forest.
Using the fruits
You can eat the fruits directly for their effects, making them valuable finds for a Nether expedition — fire resistance and regeneration in particular are exactly what the dimension calls for. The fruits can also be used in further recipes beyond eating them raw.
Getting started
Explore each nether biome to gather its fruit, and carry them for their effects while adventuring. Because each biome yields a different fruit, a thorough sweep of the Nether builds a full set of useful consumables for survival in the dimension and beyond.
A small mod with a wide processing surface
Nether's Exoticism registers 57 crafting recipes and then six more categories with only one to three entries each:
Those single-entry categories are integration rather than content: the mod hooks its fruits into processing blocks that other mods provide, so a fruit can be cut, bottled or compacted if you have the equipment. In a pack without those mods, the 57 crafting recipes are the whole thing.
Blocks and items are balanced
89 pages across 45 blocks and 44 items — almost exactly even, which is what you would expect from a crop mod. Each fruit has a plant to place and a food to carry.
Identical on both versions
Both builds are 1.2.9 and every category carries the same count on 1.21.1 and 1.20.1. Nothing here is version-specific.
Where to start
The fruits grow in the Nether, so the practical first step is a trip rather than a craft — the crafting list only becomes useful once you have something to put in it. Bring back a plant rather than only the fruit, since the crop is what makes the rest of the mod repeatable.
No structures
The mod generates no worldgen structures, so there is no dungeon to find and no gate on progression. Everything grows where its biome is.
