  Nether mod for minetest

  "mapgen.lua" is the modern biomes-based Nether mapgen, which
    requires Minetest v5.1 or greater
  "mapgen_nobiomes.lua" is the legacy version of the mapgen, only used
    in older versions of Minetest or in v6 worlds.

	--    default?
	-- A: No, all you can do is use a mod to clear all biomes then re-register the complete
	--    set but with your changes. It has been described as hacky but this is actually the
	--    official way to alter biomes, most mods and subgames would want to completely change

	--    To avoid the engine side of mapgen becoming overcomplex the approach is to require mods
