Can I generate a new Nether in Minecraft? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
As far as I am aware, the nether is just another directory in your worlds directory called DIM-1. From what I understand, removing that subdirectory will remove your nether and force Minecraft to generate a new one upon visiting it (using the current terrain generator - this means you may get different Nethers across different versions of Minecraft if the terrain generator has changed between them).
But please do make a backup :)
Make sure Minecraft isn't running in the background while trying to make the changes to your DIM-1, because it won't work.
