Overview
Nether Wastes is a hot biome that generates in the Nether. Its base temperature of 2 places it in the hot band, which controls whether water freezes, whether it rains or snows, and which passive mobs are allowed to spawn there.
No precipitation falls in Nether Wastes. It never rains or snows here, so cauldrons stay empty and lightning does not strike.
3 generated structures can appear here, among them Ruined Portal (Nether), Nether Fortress, Bastion Remnant.
7 mobs name Nether Wastes specifically among their spawn biomes.

Structures found here
- Ruined Portal (Nether) — The Nether-side counterpart, generating on cliff faces, floors and ceilings throughout every Nether biome with the same crumbling obsidian frame and loot chest.
- Nether Fortress — A dark nether brick complex of corridors, staircases, balconies and long bridges over lava.
- Bastion Remnant — A ruined blackstone fortress in one of four layouts — bridge, hoglin stable, housing units and treasure room — each packed with piglins and, in the treasure variant, piglin brutes that ignore gold armour entirely.
