What is a Minecraft Nether portal? It is a bridge between two worlds. It separates the overworld (Minecraft) from the Nether dimensions, which are a dark and hostile hellscape. If you want to access the Nether the only option is through this terrifying purple door. So, how do you make use of the Nether portal to access the Nether? Once you've created your Nether portal, you can use it for teleporting to the Nether. Minecraft Simply enter the portal to connect to the Nether. Within four seconds, you will be transported to a gruesome landscape filled with monsters and lava. Minecraft mobs and other objects can access the Nether portal in Minecraft. The exceptions are the Minecraft wither and the ender dragon. There are few reasons to create an Minecraft Nether portal, as you'll surely enjoy spending time fighting your way out of sticky situations. Hostile mobs like Skeletons, ghasts, and zombie pigmen engulf you as you travel through the lava fields of this cavernous setting. There are, however, many reasons to venture into this dreadful dimension. It's a hotspot for crafting resources such as Minecraft netherite and if you're hoping to making the most sought-after items such as the Minecraft beacon, you'll have to swing by the Nether and buy a few things. So, here's how to access the Nether in Minecraft by using the portal. Minecraft Dimensions of the Nether Portal What are the Minecraft Nether portal dimensions? You'll need to get hands on 12-14 obsidian blocks to make Nether portals, which are a rectangular shape of 4x5 minimum and 23x23 maximum. To mine obsidian, you'll require diamond pickaxes. This is the only tool you have to mine obsidian. although there are a few workarounds, they really aren't worth your time - just go and get some Minecraft diamonds first. You'll also require flint and steel to build Nether portals. This will create the 'filling' of the door. First, you need to place the obsidian blocks into a rectangle as seen below (you don't have to fill in the corners). Then, ignite the fire using flint or steel to fill the doorway. The fire will then release the puff of translucent purple smoke. The vortex will hover close to the door, but it's not dangerous. What's on the other side of the door is what need to be concerned about. Minecraft Nether portal travel There is no wrong or right place for your Nether portal to be built in Minecraft. However it's not as straightforward as hopping between dimensions from one portal to another - Minecraft Nether portal travel has its own peculiarities. When you open your brand new portal in the Overworld it will take you to the closest portal within the Nether and if there isn't one nearby it will make the new portal.
