Minecraft 1.16 Servers

Minecraft 1.16, the Nether Update, transformed the Nether dimension with four new biomes, netherite equipment, piglins, and the ancient debris mining system. The update made the Nether a destination rather than just a shortcut.

Netherite gear surpassed diamond as the strongest equipment tier, while piglin trading introduced a new bartering mechanic. Striders allowed players to traverse lava oceans safely.

1.16 remains popular among servers that want a version with excellent PvP mechanics and strong plugin support. Many competitive servers prefer this version for its combat balance.
