Ever wondered how you can add a touch of magic to your Minecraft world by building your very own portal? Let’s get straight into figuring out how to create these mystical gateways in Minecraft.

Building portals in Minecraft isn’t just fun; it’s a gateway to exploring new dimensions and worlds. So, how do you build one?

The Short Answer to Building Portals

To build a portal in Minecraft, you’ll need materials specific to the type of portal you want to create. The most common portal, the Nether Portal, requires obsidian blocks and a fire source to activate.

First, arrange your obsidian blocks in a vertical rectangle: four blocks high and five blocks wide. Leave the corners out if you’re saving on obsidian. Next, use a flint and steel or a fire charge to ignite the inside of the portal, and voilà, your Nether Portal is ready!
