Netherworker’s Hut

The Netherworker’s Hut is a MineColonies building that lets your colony automate collection of Nether resources.

Overview

- The Netherworker collects Nether-specific resources such as netherrack, quartz, glowstone, nether wart, and magma cream. - The Netherworker’s Hut must be built in the Overworld, but the Netherworker will automatically travel to and from the Nether through portals to gather resources. - The Netherworker will only work if a Nether Portal is present within the colony. The portal must be accessible and linked between the Overworld and Nether. - The Netherworker can fulfill requests from other workers and help keep minimum stock in the Warehouse.

Hut Level Resource Variety Work Speed
1 Basic Nether resources Basic
2 More resource types Faster
3 Increased output Fast
4 Unlocks rare resources Faster
5 Maximum resource access Fastest

*Higher levels unlock more Nether materials and increase collection speed.*

Resources Gathered

- Netherrack - Quartz - Nether Wart - Glowstone Dust - Magma Cream - Gold Nuggets - Soul Sand - Basalt - Blackstone - Any other Nether-related vanilla items (may require higher levels or University research)

Requirements

- Must have a functional Nether Portal in the colony for the Netherworker to operate. - Portal must remain linked and safe for worker travel. - No worker assignment until portal exists.
