Flames of the Nether is based on the Nether dimension in the main game where lava can be found everywhere. The hero starts at the north of the map, in the Nether Wastes mission. Nether wart forests can be found to the west of it where nether fungi and vines grow wildly. The cyan and mysterious one is called the Warped Forest while the bloody and red one is called the Crimson Forest. The Basalt Deltas lies in the south made up of blackstone as well as large basalt pillars dotting its surface. In the far east, there is the Soul Sand Valley made of soul related blocks and mysterious fossils. The colossal Nether Fortress is built right above the lava sea in the center of the Nether.

During the concept art phase for the Flames of the Nether, the developers made up over a hundred pages of concept art including everything from general coloring to new plants, props, armor, and weapons that fit with the environments.[4]
In a video posted by the Minecraft Dungeons Twitter account, the twisting vine bow and the weeping vine bow can be seen, being the first two new items revealed for the DLC.[5]
There is a statue in the Nether Fortress that depicts the Wildfire, a mob that lost the Mob Vote during MINECON Earth 2017. When this DLC originally came out, the Wildfire was available in the game files but did not spawn as it was not finished in time for the update, but since the Luminous Night update it has been added and one even spawns as part of the ambush surrounding this statue.
Strider sounds can be heard throughout the Warped Forest mission, similar to the vulture sounds in the Cacti Canyon.
