	The Nether has no [[Minecraft:daylight cycle]] and no [[Minecraft:weather]].

	The majority of "flora" in the Nether is fungus-based as opposed to plants. The Nether "grass" consists of specialized Nether mycelium (known as "[[Minecraft:nylium]]"). The Nether features its own unique [[Minecraft:fungi]] (including Nether wart), as well as equivalent [[Minecraft:huge fungi]] that serve as [[Minecraft:tree]]s. The stems of the huge fungi function as [[Minecraft:log]]s. Also present are a number of native vines and roots.		The majority of "flora" in the Nether is fungus-based as opposed to plants.
