A Nether Portal<\/strong> is an obsidian structure enabling players to pass between the Nether<\/strong> and the Overworld<\/strong>. They produce distinctive whimpering and crying noises and release purple particles that resemble dust particles. Players move the equivalent of 8 blocks on the Overworld<\/strong> by moving 1 block horizontally on the Nether<\/strong>. The Portal should be 4 blocks wide, and 5 blocks high with the flint and steel being used to activate it.<\/p>\n

Nether Portal in Minecraft<\/h2>\n

The nether is a frightening area with an exciting new collection of blocks and creatures, and visiting it is an important part of your Minecraft<\/strong> journey. Items such as blaze rods are obtained from the nether which can then be used to craft other useful items. The portal<\/strong> was added to Minecraft as a part of the Halloween update in 2010.<\/p>\n

Behaviour of Nether Portal in Minecraft<\/h3>\n

Nether portal<\/strong> blocks produce distinctive whimpering and crying noises and release purple particles that resemble dust particles. These are the same purple particles produced by endermen, endermites, ender pearls, and the ender chest. A level 11 light is emitted by the portal blocks which is much dimmer than a torch and is not adequate to avoid mob spawning on top of a freestanding portal.<\/p>\n

Minecraft: How to Build Nether Portal<\/h4>\n

There are a couple ways to build a Nether portal<\/strong>. Before you can start building, you\u2019re going to need to find at least 3 Diamonds, 3 Iron Ingots, and a lava pit. Once you\u2019ve got your hands on these materials, craft a Diamond Pickaxe and a Bucket.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Crafting a Bucket<\/strong> is simple – take 3 Iron Ingots and open up your Crafting Table. Place one in the middle box on the left column, one in the bottom box of the middle column, and one in the middle box of the right column. It should form the shape of a lowercase v.<\/li>\n
  • Hold your Bucket and approach a water source block. If you\u2019re near the sea or a lake, just press your interact key anywhere on the surface of the water. You should now be holding a Water Bucket – also known as a miner\u2019s best friend.<\/li>\n
  • Take your Diamond Pickaxe and your Water Bucket to the lava pit you found. Using the interact key on a block above the lava pit, dump the water all over the lava. You\u2019ll hear steam, and as the water makes contact with the lava, it will create Obsidian blocks<\/strong>. Use the interact key on the same spot you initially placed the water to scoop it back up again and give you more space to work.<\/li>\n
  • While mining, don\u2019t forget that there might be more lava underneath the Obsidian<\/strong> you just created. Never mine the block directly beneath your feet.
    Obsidian can only be mined and collected by a Diamond Pickaxe, and it does take a good long while to mine it, so get comfy.<\/li>\n
  • Mine at least 10 Obsidian blocks.<\/li>\n
  • Pick a spot to build your portal. You\u2019ll be using Obsidian blocks<\/strong> for the frame. The frame is rectangular; it should be 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks tall. Leave the center of the frame empty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
