Nether Cities are structures generated by the Better Dungeons mod. Armored Pigmen, which are fairly different from the normal Zombie Pigman, can be found in this dungeon.

Structures

Nether Cities boast huge houses/apartments. There are several type of buildings such as blacksmiths, prison cells, apartments as well as the Boss Tower. 


Blacksmith

Blacksmith buildings hold an assortment of loot, including minerals and tools.


Houses

Three story houses that come in different makes and models. Some contain trap rooms, balconies, paintings, or different-colored wools.

Prisons

These prison cells have chests containing armor and weapons. You may find Pigman trapped in cells made of Nether brick fences and Nether bricks. 

Boss Tower

These are four story buildings that hold two PigMage s and randomly spawning pigmen. 

Huts

Very small, one-story buildings that contain Soul Sand and Netherwart on the porch. These Huts may contain a chest with several items.

Enchanting Tower

This tower contains large open areas that have water and Lapis Lazuli blocks with an enchanting table on top.

Mine

Large open structure that contains rails, powered rails, activator rails, and a minecart.

Treasure Room

A two-story building containg many paintings, item frames including the loot placed inside of the frames.

Town Square

A mock-tree structure made out of obsidian and Glowstone.

Strategies and Battle Tactics

To clear out the city, one should expect to be overwhelmed unless equipped with protective diamond armor as all Pigmen turn hostile and simultaneously strike when provoked. The Pigman Healer will use a healing staff to support other Pigmen whilst the Pig mage uses magical attacks via Life steal effect and summons the undead to attack. Ranged weapons are recommended as a secondary to pick out shieldless enemies. A powerful melee weapon still works against all pigmens, however, as they are equipped with Iron, Gold and Diamond Armor.

Trivia

  • The buildings may contain beds. Attempting to sleep in said beds cause them to explode.
  • The Pigman have mini mines, containing rails and minecarts, which require parts from the Overworld.
  • Nether fortresses can intersect with Nether cities, causing them to merge.
