Steps to Build Your Minecraft Portal

Building a portal in Minecraft isn’t too tough! You’ll need some specific materials depending on the type of portal you want to make. For the Nether portal, you need obsidian blocks and flint and steel.

Portals open up new adventures! The Nether portal takes you to the Nether, a place full of new materials, enemies, and treasures. It’s a whole new challenge and a great way to explore more of what Minecraft offers.
