Quick Guide to Building a Nether Portal
First things first, gather your materials. You’ll need at least 10 obsidian blocks to create the frame of your Nether portal. You can mine obsidian by using a diamond or netherite pickaxe on water that touches lava. Next up, you’ll need something to ignite the portal, like a Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge.
Now for the fun part: construction! Lay out the obsidian in a vertical, rectangular shape. The smallest size you need is 4 blocks tall and 5 blocks wide, but you can make it bigger if you like! Remember, the corners aren’t necessary, so you can save on obsidian by leaving them out. Finally, use your Flint and Steel or Fire Charge to light one of the inside edges, and voilà, your Nether portal comes to life, ready to whisk you away to another dimension!
