The Nether
Biomes
Five wildly different biomes inside one hellish dimension. Each has its own colour palette, mobs and resources.

Warped Forest = safe haven
Place your portal entrance in a Warped Forest if possible. The natural lack of hostile mobs (besides Endermen who you can avoid) makes it the only "chill" place to build a Nether hub.
