[citation needed] Nether became popular in late 2013, when many YouTubers such as Markiplier were uploading videos of them playing the game.

[3] Players must scavenge the world for supplies and fight off the evil monsters that are hunting for them, known as the Nether.

The player spawns just outside the ruins of an abandoned city, equipped only with a knife as a means of protection.

The stamina bar will start depleting once the player begins to sprint, but will regenerate when they rest.

As the player starts to explore the seemingly abandoned buildings in the city, they will encounter various new weapons that they can pick up and use.

Additional slots on the HUD are assigned for medications and health items that the player can use quickly when needed.

As the player explores more, they will start encountering paper money on the ground, which can be used to buy better weapons, as well as medications from a vendor found at a specific place in the city.
