Last updated
Curious about diving into the fiery depths of the Nether in Minecraft? If you’re scratching your head wondering how to craft that mystical Nether Portal, you’ve landed in the right spot. Let’s break down the steps to create your own portal to a world of adventure.
So, how exactly do you make a Nether Portal in Minecraft? In its essence, crafting a Nether Portal involves gathering some obsidian blocks and igniting them into a gateway. Keep reading, and we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty details.
Building Your Gateway to the Nether
To embark on your Nether voyage, you’ll need 14 blocks of obsidian. You’ll arrange these blocks into a rectangle: four blocks wide and five blocks tall, leaving the corners optional for a sleek look. Remember, obsidian is tough stuff, so arm yourself with a diamond or netherite pickaxe to mine it.
Next up, you’ll need to bring your portal to life. Grab a flint and steel or a fire charge, stand in front of your patiently crafted obsidian frame, and ignite one of the inner blocks. Voilà! Your Nether Portal springs to life, shimmering with mysterious purple energy. Step in, and the adventure begins.
