Netherrack - Akin to the dirt in how common it can be found, it is the material that makes up most of the lands in the Nether. Blood-red and sticky in texture, it is easy if not uncomfortable to gather and shape Netherrack.
Nylium - When Netherrack is infected by Shroomlight it is known to take on a colour reflecting its strand; warped being blue and crimson being red. Sometimes, this Nylium takes on growths similar to small rootstocks protruding from the ground.
Netherbrick - Taking Netherrack and treating it as one would clay, by shaping it and baking it, Netherbrick would be the result, though it maintains its blood-red color. A staple in architecture for Grief’s now abandoned Fortresses across the many Netherworlds that Alterans have visited.
Blackstone - An equivalent to the rock and stone of Altera; this blackened stone’s only difference is its colour. It is native to this new Nether and is entirely unremarkable and common enough that it loses any sense of uniqueness. It can be found in the various structures across this new Netherscape.
Glowstone - Bearing a fragile crystalline form, Glowstone is a common source of light within the Nether. Warm to the touch, it is easy to manipulate or shatter Glowstone. It is theorised that the growth of Glowstone in the Nethers correlates with the process that corrupts a once bountiful land into a savage hellscape.
Soul Sand - Another common aspect of the Nether’s terrain, Soul Sand bears one of the only sources of naturally occurring water. Due to this, walking across it feels like walking across mud after a harsh and heavy storm. One can find themselves sinking a few inches into the ground, but never to a point where they are truly stuck.
Soul Soil - Unlike the muddier equivalent, Soul Soil is much drier, similar in consistency to dirt. Specks of shroomlight can usually be seen within Soul Soil, having it glimmer within the dark.
Shroomlight - Throughout the Nether, visible and not, there is an encroaching growth of a glowing blue fungus. It is foreign and like no other fungus on Altera. Similar in luminescence to Glowstone, but fungal in nature. It crumbles and spreads throughout the Nether to the point of its spores being harmlessly present within the air. When crushed into powder and paste, it can be used as a fuel for fire and it gives off a blue flame due to the high shroomlight content within.
Crying Obsidian - Similar to the glassy obsidian of Altera, this variant is known to glow from its vein-like cracks in which the Shroomlight fungus has nestled itself. As the fungus matures, it weeps to procreate and is carried off to grow elsewhere.

Infested Tree - These fungal growths have the appearance of large trees and are native and entirely unprecedented in explored Nethers. They are often found in large forests and grow in close ranks of twisted and gnarled stems towering overhead.
Crimson Stems - Both the trunk and branches of this type of tree appear to be entirely carved as bones and skulls, as if imprinted with the souls of those that died beneath them. The fungus attached to these trees bear a vibrant red color, each boney branch independent of the other to make up the massive fungus.
Warped Stems - More like a normal tree compared to the Crimson counterpart, Warped Stems appear to be encased entirely in a web-like structure that crumbles under heavy force.
Infested Fungi Spores- A vibrant fungi-weed that clusters in short length stock sizes, like grass. Upon its ends are round bubbles that appear spore-like. It clings to all living matters alike, growing in dark or warm areas. They grow slowly and might cling to non-living matter a little more. But they can be removed if not deep set within its roots. These fungal growths act as saplings to the larger infested trees. They are often found on the forest floor and are sometimes known to let out a burst of spores before they continue their growth into a larger tree. They, much like other fungi in the Nether, follow the same coloration of the crimson and warped fungi, depending on what their origins are.
Fungal Vines - Fungal growths that can bear the heavy load of a single heavily armored individual. They have come to form naturally in two
different variants but both give off a harmless puff of their spores whenever they are grasped to further procreate and grow elsewhere.
Weeping Vines - The Crimson variant is the more fragile of the two vines, capable of only growing vertically downwards and clinging to various
cavern ceilings and walls within the Nether. Some portions of the vine find themselves to be extremely thin, before growing outwards once more,
giving the effect of red or orange tears hanging independently from the vine.
Twisting Vines - The Warped counterpart, these vines are capable of growing in nearly any condition as long as they are planted in the ground. A
thick central vine with small offshoots all along it, these vines are very easy to climb, forming a perfect equivalent to a naturally occurring,
spiraling, ladder.
Crimsonwort - Crimsonwort is a small, sprouting growth, blood-red in color with shades of black making an appearance too. It glows with a gentle crimson hue, adding to its already mysterious appearance, and is spongy to the touch. It lacks both flavor and aroma, but consuming Crimsonwort in any form leads to nausea and sickness; mild food poisoning.

Insects - Various insects bare some similiarities to Altera and overlap in this realm. Such as red-ants, arachnids, fireflies, beetles, mosquitoes, and beetles.
