About the Better Nether Map mod
This mod improves how maps work in the Nether and in other cave dimensions by showing only the blocks below a certain height, which can either be the height the map was created at or a value specified in the config.
How to install Better Nether Map
With Millida Launcher
Install Millida Launcher

Click “Install” on this page
The launcher opens and installs the mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 on Forge automatically.

In the version list above, pick the file betternethermap-1.2-1.16.5.jar (42 KB) for your game version.
Put it in the mods folder
The folder is inside .minecraft (Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods). If it does not exist, create it.
Launch the loader profile
Open “Mods” in the main menu: Better Nether Map should be in the list.
On a server
A server on Forge
The mod only works on a server with the same loader and game version, for example 1.16.5.
File goes into the server’s mods folder
Stop the server, put the mod file into the mods folder and start the server again.
Use the “To server” button
