Official Forge port is WIP by RedRoseWarrior
This mod was designed as improvement for the Nether, adding more biomes, plants and materials into it. I've tried to make its content unique and interesting for exploring as also useful.
Mod was designed as compatible with other nether mods (especially in world generation). For other desirable compatibilities please write on issue tracker.

Primal things, that this mod adds:
1. Many new plants to the Nether;
2. New mobs for the Nether;
3. New unique biomes;
4. Non-vertical volumetric biome system (supporting other mods);
5. New materials, recipes, food, tools and items;
6. Ability to farm some materials using plant farms or mob farms;
7. Many nether structures, including big and rare cities;
8. Ability to configure presence of blocks, items, structures, biomes and plant density (and a config GUI with ModsMenu mod);
9. Integrations with some other mods.
1.12 version is for Forge, newer versions (1.15 and later) are for Fabric.

How to optimize mod for weak PC:
- Open mod config (located in "...minecraft/config/betternether.json");
- Open "betternether.json" with text editor (I personally recommend Notepad++);
- Search in text to "global_plant_and_structures_density[def: 1.0]" and replace its value from 1.0 to 0.5 or 0.25 - this will reduce plants in world on generation;
- Search for "cities" and find "generate[def: true]" in figure brackets. Replace its value from true to false - this will disable nether cities generation, they are large and consume a lot of memory;
- Search for "terrain" and find "terrain_cleaning_pass[def: true]" and "world_fixing_pass[def: true]". Replace their values from true to false. This will disable world fixing passes - terrain became more weird, but worldgen will run faster.
All config changes requires game restart. I hope this will help you.

Some tips [1.12]:
- if you have "single server tick took 60.00 seconds" crash you can do this.
- If you have extreme nether generation time lag or "cascade worldgen error" you can do this.
- If you have lags on world saving - disable nether cities generation in the config.

FAQ:
Where is config file?
It is in "config" folder (<minecraft_folder>/config/betternether.json). You can use "ModList" mod to see some config values in game, but not all (config is very large, it's hard to represent it full).
Here is information about JSON format.
Is this mod compatible with X mod?
Mod was designed to be compatible with others. If there is an issue - report it on GitHub.
Can you make version for X Minecraft?
Only for newer versions (later than 1.15 and for 1.15) and not immediately. Sometimes update is not required and last version works well.
Can you make forge version?
No, but if you really want it - you can make it by yourself and publish for others (MIT License). Porting such big mod to another modloader is a heavy task, due to not only large amount of code. It modified different game aspects - mushrooms growing on custom mycelium, maps rendering, fog distance, armor rendering fixes, recipe building, biomes modification etc, which is not possible with current Forge tools. It is possible to use third party libraries, but Forge code is much less stable than vanilla one and probably each new version will be incompatible with most code.
Will you continue 1.12 development?
No, 1.12 is not supported anymore. Last version is stable enough to play, development is focused on modern versions. If you have issues with 1.12 you can use information from "Some tips [1.12]" above.
Does mod have a wiki?
Yes, but it is very incomplete and a bit outdated. You can actually help with it. Here it is.
