The explosion is larger than that of TNT, which has an explosion power of 4. Beds explode and cause fires when a player attempts to sleep in one.Most items and blocks in the Nether function the same as they do in the Overworld, with a few notable exceptions: This makes portals a useful tool for traveling long distances in the Overworld.Īn image of the Nether with a nether fortress. For example, in a perfect scenario, a player who enters a portal in the Overworld at x=0, z=0 and travels in the Nether to x=1000, z=1000 returns to the Overworld at x=8000, z=8000. Therefore, traveling one block in the Nether means traveling eight blocks in the Overworld. Locations in the Nether correlate to Overworld coordinates, but horizontal Overworld distances are scaled down by a ratio of 8:1 for travel in the Nether. Most creatures found in the Nether are hostile and potentially dangerous. Also present are a number of native vines and roots.

The stems of the huge fungi function as logs. The Nether features its own unique fungi (including nether wart), as well as equivalent huge fungi which serve as trees. The Nether 'grass' consists of specialized Nether mycelium (known as ' nylium'). The majority of flora in the Nether is fungus-based as opposed to plants. Light otherwise functions exactly the same as it does in the Overworld and the End. Even with a light level of 0, the Nether has a dim ambient light (roughly equivalent to light level 8 in the Overworld). Natural sources of light include fire, lava, portals, shroomlights and glowstone. The Nether has no daylight cycle and no weather. In Bedrock Edition, the build limit in the Nether is 128 blocks, despite it being 256 in the End, and 320 in the Overworld. In the infinite worlds of the Java and Bedrock Editions, the Nether is also horizontally infinite. If cheats are enabled, players can also teleport to the Nether without using a nether portal: the syntax is / execute in the_nether in Java Edition, and / execute in nether in Bedrock Edition.īedrock comprises the top (including and below layer 127) and bottom 4 layers in a rough pattern, essentially making the Nether 128 blocks high unlike the Overworld's 384. When done, the Nether has the same 256×256 borders as the Overworld, and if a nether portal is then made in the Nether, it can spawn the player outside the world barrier. The portal block must be placed using cheats. In the former Old‌ world type, it is impossible to construct a nether portal. Any of the blocks in the corners can be destroyed without destroying the portal. The portal can be destroyed by breaking the obsidian frame, by a nearby explosion, or by placing water in the Overworld or lava into it with a bucket or dispenser. If there is no corresponding portal, a new 4×5 portal is created. The portal plays a sound effect while the player is inside it. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. In Survival, the player must stand in a nether portal for 4 seconds to get to the Nether. The portal allows most entities (with the exception of the wither, the ender dragon, and entities riding or being ridden by another entity) to be transported to a corresponding portal in the Nether. This can be accomplished using various ignition methods such as flint and steel, fire charge, dispensers, or any substance capable of setting fire ablaze. Once the frame has been properly constructed, it can be activated by introducing fire into the frame. The frame's dimensions can vary, with the smallest permissible size being 4 blocks × 5 blocks, and the largest being 23 blocks × 23 blocks. To assemble the portal, the player's initial task involves building a rectangular frame using blocks of obsidian.

It's important to note that portals created in the End will not function for this purpose. In order to enter the Nether dimension, a player needs to construct a nether portal within the confines of the Overworld. 'Economy' portal without corners (left), full portal (right)
