The first alternate dimension added to Minecraft, it somewhat resembles the pop-culture interpretation of Hell with a gloomy atmosphere, lakes of lava, and fearsome monsters. What's it called in the game?

The Nether was first fully added to Minecraft in the 1.2.0 version along with its signature monsters — the Ghasts and the Zombie Pigmen. According to Notch, the idea was to create a Hell-like dimension but to avoid any religious names and connotations. That's how The Nether came to be.
