Nether Portal NEED To Know | Tips | Tricks | Linking | Creating | Minecraft Bedrock And Java Edition

Hey everyone, Prowl here with another Minecraft tutorial. This Nether portal walkthrough works for all versions of Minecraft, and I’ll just summarize a few main points here for you guys 😊

1. Nether portals are made out of obsidian, which you can find in caves, or by pouring water on any lava sources
2. Portal minimum size is 4 blocks wide x 5 blocks tall. You do not need the corners
3. You can make portals as large as you want, but they can only have 4 sides (square or rectangle shape)
4. For every 1 block you travel in the nether, you move 8 blocks in the overworld. Using nether portals is the fastest way to travel long distances!
5. Protect your portals!

If I'm not mistaken the maximum of a portal is 23 by 23.btw keep up the great content

Prowl: some people thinks you need to put the corner. You do not

*angry wattles noises*

If your portal breaks you don't have to kill yourself you can find a Flint and steel in fortresses also you can kill a wither skeleton(coal)a ghast(gunpowder) and a blaze (blaze powder) to make a fire charge which can be crafted with your personal crafting grid

Good video.
But if you go to the nether without flint and steel and a ghast blows up your portal, you can do what I did and have the ghast light it. It's difficult but it worked for me.
Thank you for the vids. I use them often.

4:50 cobblestone/stone has a higher blast resistance than those other blocks

[reuniteireland]

Really helpful video overall. I was having issues with coming out a random portal on the top side and was so confused.

Your recording style has come a long way in over 2 years. You have so much more energy now!

Thanks for the info i know this can help tons of people, I'm making my sister watch this

[gabrielcastillo]

This is really helpful for the people who just started in minecraft

Tip: instead of dividing your block coordinates by 8, multiply your chunk coordinates by 2. Same result and much quicker.

Just opened my first. Lava all over the place. Died twice trying to get it under control.

[scottsthoughtschannel]

Tyvm!!! This is going to be my first nether portal. Very helpful tips indeed!!!

[BluBird_xx]

Thank you for the video :)
I have a question though. If I have one 4*5 portal in the over world that syncs to a 4*5 portal in the nether, if I create a different sized portal close by, would it still sync to the original portal in the nether?

[layneflw]

Just as a side note, if you're making a portal, just remember not to have wood directly behind it when you're trying to light it. At least for me, it didn't work, so I thought the "any size" portal was actually a lie lol.

[vixenfatale]

So my problem is my nether portal spawned me in a really bad spot. So I dug a long tunnel and went from the blue to the red forest however no matter how far I went there was always a lava layer above me and I could not dig up to get out in the open at all. There was no open space like yours

[ryanrathmann]

Partial correction... max portal size is 23×23. Portal frames built larger than that will not light.

[jacospies]

When you go into the nether portal in creative, you immediately go into the nether, even when you touch it, and in survival you gotta wait 5 seconds or so, its just weird

[jonathanschenck]

How about making a portal 8x wider? Like 2 wide in the neather but 16 wide in the overworld just for fun. Say you got mob farms all over the overworld linked to a nether highway network for a build. Cool right?

In the old Days I played Minecraft the 🐎 was the newest update.
The last time I played was April 2015. I love Creative Mode that way I : can fly, don't die, and have unlimited items.
5 months before in
December 2014 I made a Nether Portal, and I was under an lake of liquid fire .

Even though I couldn't die it had so much Light that I needed Sunglasses.
I also didn't know where I was .
With Autism maps didn't help me that much.
So I was under the fire lake for 7 Hours of game playing , but because I am Human, and have things to do .
In rale life I was under the fire lake for 2 Days 8 Hours.
Than I remember that I can Fly so I got to the roof of the Nether. Until I found land .
That took me another 4 Hours of game play time to find land . When I got back to Over World I was in the a cave in the Ocean . It took me 2 Hours to get out of the Cave . So because I was in middle of the Ocean I had in mind to make a under water home, and to light up the area . I also made 4 paths of Lights .

I play in Creative made so my Favorite Lights in Minecraft is the one light that can't go out, and makes a blue glow.
Than after 5 Hours of putting Lights down, and Makeing a under Water home.
I made up my mind to leave the Ocean .
That took 3 Hours for me to get to a Mushroom Island. I spent 3 Hours on the Island.
It also took me 2 more Hours to get to Land . It was not the Zombie Pigs it was the 26 Hours of playing Minecraft doing nothing, but 50% of that time doing nothing, but Traveling, and being Lost .
In real life it took me 17 Days, and 8 Hours in Total for me to find Land again on the Over World.
Something like this happened to me like 24 times in the whole time of playing the Game. By January 2015 I had enough. So I putted 200 TNT, and set 8 Fires, and poured a Lake of Water on to a Farming, and Mineing Town . Set to peaceful mode . So that I will make a Hotel out of Obsidian , and Stone. I made bigger the mine Cave so it will be a Basement. I also set Lights on the Roof, and in side Walls . My favorite Lights. Is the hardest light to make.
You could see my Hotel from Minecraft miles away. I made it 80 Blocks West to East
24 Blocks North to South, and 30 Blocks down underground , and ??? Blocks High . All that I knew was that It was 100 feet tall.
I took me 93 days to make, and if my Computer was not taken away from me . It would have taken 1, 000 Days , or 907 more days to finish.
