If you’re itching to explore the fiery depths of the Nether in Minecraft, you’re in the right place. We’ll break down how you can get there and what you’ll need for the journey.
Quick Answer: Building a Nether Portal
The fastest way to get to the Nether in Minecraft is by building a Nether Portal. You’ll need obsidian blocks and a flint and steel or fire charge to light it. Here’s the scoop on how to make that happen.
To create a Nether Portal, first, gather 10 obsidian blocks. You can obtain obsidian by pouring water over lava and then mining it with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. Next, construct a standing rectangle measuring 4 blocks high and 5 blocks wide, leaving the corners optional. Finally, use your flint and steel or fire charge to light the inside of the portal. Step into the glowing purple doorway, and voilà, welcome to the Nether!
