The Nether just got a whole lot more dangerous. Well, if you added Nethercats it did, otherwise it’s probably about as dangerous as it was yesterday. And just as boring!!! Let’s not forget that.

Enter the Nethercats. Terrifying furry beasts that don’t burn but will definitely hunt you down! Just start running now.

They spawn in …. can you guess which biome..? That’s right, warm ocean biomes. Who would’ve thought that??!? Ok, they spawn in the Nether (but not Nether forests). You knew it, I knew it. Oh so predictable, I know.


Important safety tip: You can’t hit them with projectile weapons. Fun for everyone!


  • Fixed a 1.16 bug where xp orbs would spray *everywhere*. This was great fun, while it lasted.
  • Decreased their spawn likelihood (seemed to spawn everywhere after the 1.16 update). Made them not spawn in any of the nether forests.
  • Added some size variations. The smaller ones have less health / attack damage, the larger ones just the opposite.
