Exploring

Structures

Both the overworld and the Nether have extra structures scattered through them beyond the vanilla set, Structory, Structory: Towers, and Dungeons & Taverns are all in, worth wandering further out to find. Nothing about the underlying terrain generation or the seed itself has changed, these add new builds to stumble into, not a different world shape. Wander and see for yourself rather than have it all described in advance.

The Nether

The Nether is open to everyone. Build a portal as normal, it has its own independent world border, separate from the overworld’s, so there’s a defined space to explore rather than an unbounded one.

Portal safety

Nether portals scale 1:8 against the overworld, so a portal built far out in the Nether can, in vanilla, land you outside the overworld’s own world border, in terrain that was never meant to be walked on. On this server, a portal that would do that simply won’t let you through, you’ll see a warning telling you the portal leads outside the border instead of being dropped somewhere unintended. Step back or break the portal and rebuild it somewhere further in.
