Check out some highlights from the Minecraft Nether update below.

• Netherite: A new material - Pure netherite - strongest, most durable material in Minecraft - is no more. Piglins mined it all out. Now the only way to obtain it is by salvaging netherite scrap from ancient debris.
• Battle or barter with Piglins - Piglins can be grumpy, though are willing to trade items if you bring the right goods. Stay on their good side if you can!
• New mob Hoglins - The snoutiest, tastiest mob in Minecraft! Keep away from the Hoglins, or hunt them if you dare. Approach them with caution.
• New block - Have you ever wanted to make your Redstone switches more flexible? Try the Target Block!
