Nether reset

[hiiasdfasdfasdf]

The new nether update is coming and i want to know how to reset the nether safely. Some people told me to delete DIM-1 in the world_nether file, but I want to clarify if this safe and does not cause long term effects. If you can please tell me the purpose of the DIM-1 is.

The DIM-1 folder stores the region files for the Nether dimension. If you delete it, the Nether will re-generate but you will lose anything currently built in the Nether. However, if you reset it right now, you will not see the new 1.16 Nether features. 1.16 will be coming to Minehut once Paper and core plugins are updated. For now, 1.16 clients can connect, but servers still run on 1.15.2.

but if you delete the folder, how will the newly generated nether be saved? (sorry im not a minecraft expert)

A new folder will be generated in its place.
