Nether

The nether is one of the most dangerous places to be in the game. With fire, lava, and a lot of enemy mobs that’s sole purpose is to kill you. There are many things that are needed to be done in the nether though to be able to arrive in the end.

The Nether Fortress

The longest part of the nether fortress, is finding it. A lot of luck is needed to find a fortress but there are many in the nether.

 

Blazes

Once you’ve arrived at the nether fortress all that is needed to be done is to kill a mob called blazes. Blazes have a chance of dropping blaze rods which are needed to create blaze powder.

At least 6 rods are needed to enter the end.

Kill Endermen

Thanks to the nether update in June of 2020, Endermen have increased chances to spawn in the nether than in the overworld. Endermen spawn in the warped forest and have a chance of dropping ender pearls which will be needed later on.

A minimum of 12 ender pearls are needed to enter the end.

Below is a table of each biome and what they provide.

	Nether Wastes	Initially the sole biome in the dimension before the Nether Update, the nether wastes is the most common biome in the Nether. The surface is composed of uncovered netherrack, exposing more blobs than any other biome. Zombified piglins dominate this biome, and can be found in hordes of up to 4.
	Crimson Forest	The biome is named for its red color, and is covered by the canopies of huge, tree-like fungi. Huge, pig-like animals called hoglins roam around the nylium-covered terrain, while tribes of piglins hunt them for food. This makes it one of the only biomes to have an ecosystem. While not as numerous as in the nether wastes, the occasional zombified piglin also roams, and if near normal piglins, it scares them away. It is also one of the more habitable biomes in the Nether, due to hoglins being a source of food in the dimension, and despite being a hostile mob, it can be bred, making it perfect for farms in the dimension.
	Warped Forest	This forest-type biome has the most amount of flora in the Nether dimension (due to the additional nether sprouts that are only found within the biome) but also only has two mobs, those being the endermen and the occasional strider. The amount of endermen here makes the biome an ideal place to collect ender pearls before the player has access to the End dimension. The very low diversity of mobs here makes it another habitable place in the Nether, since no mobs spawned here are naturally hostile to the player.
	Soul Sand Valley	This desert-like biome is dangerous, not just because of the huge caverns and darkness that can allow numbers of ghasts and skeletons to spawn, but also due to the deposits of soul sand which slow the player down. Boots enchanted with Soul Speed allow the player to avoid the slowing effect of soul sand. Bluish-colored soul fire is common here and are more dangerous than regular fires.
	Basalt Deltas	With high amounts of lava and magma cubes, this is one of the most dangerous biomes in the game. The terrain consists of steep and spiky basalt formations along with the flatter deltas. When the biome collides with a lava sea, archipelagos of basalt and gravel form. The biome is almost impossible to build in, which might explain why bastion remnants don’t generate here (unless a bastion remnant generates in a bordering biome).
