The nether fortress is divided into 2 sections, a open section where blaze spawners are and, a covered section where the chests are the two sections are always connected by the room with the lava in it. so if you are looking for blaze spawners stay in the open section
The actual term for the lava well is the Nether Fortress Hub, and as such it is the spawn point from which the fortress generates from, and can lead to all parts of the structure, both inside and out. So if you find a second Hub, you have found another fortress.
Two more tips: Make a respawn anchor in a central and safe part of the fort. For this you'll need crying obsidian and glowstone blocks. Don't forget extra glowstone blocks to charge it up. If you meet an unfortunate end inside the fortress, you'll respawn there. Keep a chest there with some supplies so you can get back to your stuff. Both can be gotten from piglins. Crying obsidian can be found as part of ruined portals. You'll need 6 crying obby and at least 4 glowstone blocks. 3 to craft, and each charge uses one glowstone block. Bring 30 obsidian and a few ender pearls. Put a nether portal in your safe spot in the fort. In the overworld you can get wood, water, food, and other things much easier than in the nether. The other 16 obby are to make ender chests. Once you defeat a blaze, use a rod to create two blaze powder. Use that powder to make two eyes of ender. Now you can make one of the coolest items in the game, the ender chest. They're small; make two. In the crafting table, use the obsidian like you would wood to make a chest. Then put an eye of ender in the middle. Place it on the ground like a regular chest. Anything you put in it will appear in any other ender chest you open anywhere in that world. Put your loot in there. Keep your valuables in there because nobody else can get to your items in there. Put the second one in your base when you get back, or near your nether portal in the overworld if it's far from your base. Eventually you'll want to put an e-chest anywhere you spend any amount of time, like farms, storage rooms, etc. Note that they can only be mined with a silk touch pickaxe of any kind, otherwise they only drop 8 obsidian and no eye of ender.
Yes, I would add to that: if you don't want to make a respwan anchor you can also make a nether portal and place a bed in the overworld right next to that nether portal.
Nether fortress tips: When you see the netherwart staircase go up if you want to go to the inside part of the fortress and down / straight if you want to go to the outside area. If you find the normal staircase (not the one block small one) go up if you want to go outside and down if you want to go inside the fortress. The lava well room is the middle of the fortress and there is only one per fortress. Also every fortress has two blaze spawners.
That is not reliable anymore. It was reliable when Piglins got introduced. It's better to just defeat Blazes, get a couple of Blaze Rods, and then make the Fire Resistance potions.
Fortress tip: If you are trying to collect blaze rods, the spawners are where you want to be. They only generate in the open section of the fortress. If you are in the closed section, like the area with chests and a roof, here is how you get to the other part of the fortress: If you see a staircase with walls on both sides, you up. If you see a staircase with soul sand and nether wart on the sides, go down. Lastly, if you see a balcony, you the opposite the direction of the way the balcony is facing. Hopefully that made sense and have good luck on your fortress navigation.
Another helpful tip that I'm not sure is in the video or not but the nether fortress is divided into 2 sections, a open section where blaze spawners are and, a covered section where the chests are the two sections are always connected by the room with the lava in it. so if you are looking for blaze spawners stay in the open section
Nether fortresses tip: put markers on the left side (I use torches) so that when you are returning, you follow the markers on the right side. This works well in nether fortresses, caves (sort of) and strongholds
A pretty good tip would be to bring a fishing rod and a shield. Reasons for this is the shield can block blaze fireballs and fishing rod to pull them closer. Hope This Was Helpful.
Just went back and watched an episode of your first minecraft lets play and even the first guide lets play (which is when I subscribed to you) and it SHOCKED me how more confident your voice sounds. I always thought you was a cool and confident speaker which is why I loved the guide series. Now, I am realizing you sound so much more confident with recent videos. I love your guide series because I miss nice minecraft vanilla survival lets plays. The first minecraft series I ever watched was Coe's Quest by Coestar. You doing vanilla survival brings back nice memories and I thank you for that. In my honest opinion, you are the best minecraft youtuber right now. Ofc, there was Stampy, DanTDM, and others like that, but that was my childhood. I am an adult now and you are the best minecraft youtuber of my adulthood. Keep doing what you do as long as you are having fun and that could be all I ask for. Thanks for making such good content!
I always place 2 or 3 torches in a directional pattern at all the intersections of both fortresses and strongholds as I venture deeper so it is easy to figure out the path back out. It's a little clearer than marking with blocks.
Awesome episode, Wattles! The 'deez' seed in Bedrock isn't as helpful regarding the nether. A portal at spawn drops you into the middle of a soul sand valley. Right next to Magma Mike's Lava Parkour Emporium. It took a few minutes to get a building knocked together for safety.
My best tips for Nether Fortress are Preparation. Specially building blocks for trapping Wither Skellys by making 2 block tall corridors. Good work as always Wattles!
Put a torch on the left/right every so often when moving away from your entry point. One side for towards, one side for away. Makes it easier to backtrack and not get lost
Nice tip for the wither skeletons. So simple but never tried or even thought of that before. Also just got 3 skulls in 19 kills with regular iron sword, lol.
Great episode! I went through 2 fortresses and no trim. One was just the open corridors so I didn’t even get nether wart. Currently I am attempting my first double blaze spawner. I usually try to double torch the hallway to the way home at the intersections.
When looking for the badlands, I made a nether portal for efficient travel and boom, it was right beside a fortress. Put down a bed and chest, reset my spawn in case I needed to go back in a hurry to collect stuff if I was de-spawned. Raid was not at all stressful! First ever raid and got two trims, some wart, a diamond and some diamond horse armor. Oh, and a skull. Got one of those too. Love your work!
I always take out the blaze spawners. There will be a lot of blazes anyway, they distract from hunting wither skulls and set everything on fire. When you do your first Nether Fortress raid for the blaze rods and the nether wart I always bring with me the stuff to get my brewing and enderchest going: bucket(s) of water, cauldron, brewing stand or cobblestone, slime balls, redstone dust, obsidian and ender pearls. Once I have my first one or two blaze rods and my first nether wart I can brew my first extended fire resistance potions and from then on everything will be easier. If you make and fill an ender chest, don't forget to bring at least one blaze powder home with your own inventory to make the other ender chest once home. The first raid of a nether fortress is also a good occassion to consume your rare enchanted apples. You need them less desperately once you can brew potions of fire resistance.
I got 2! 1: If you can, find a spawner thats surrounded by netherrack. That will make it harder for your blaze rods to fall far away from you, stop blazes from flying away, and stop most outside mobs from attacking you. 2: Be sure to bring a sheild while trying to get blaze rods! they make it much easier to not get lit on fire!
when exploring long corridors, always put torches on the Left wall. L from Leaving. whenever you want to go back, just follow the torches on the Right wall (R from Returning)
Fortress tip: if you don’t have good armor and don’t wanna get smoked by a wither skeleton while going around the corner mine the netherrack on the outside of the fortress hallways of course this only works if the part of the fortress is incased in netherrack.
Place blocks 3 high horizontally. If you have to run from a wither skeleton, their heads hit the blocks, allowing you to get away! Edit: i realize now that you covered this already lol
Ok some speedrunners tip here: Tip 1. Every nether fortress is devided in 2 parts: the outside bridges with blaze spawners and the enclosed part with chests. If you r in the enclosed part and wants to find blaze spawners, follow these rules: -Go up normal staircases -Go down netherwart staircases - Go to the opposite side of balconies Eventually you will find the lava well room which connects tthe 2 fortress parts. Tip 2: Every fortress has 2 spawners so if you r waiting for the next spawn of blazes, it could be a good idea to go find the 2nd spawner. Tip 3(very important): Fortress spawns more mob in biomes will low mob counts. So basically biomes like crimson forest has so many piglins and hoglins that if a fortress were to generate in one, its not gonna spawn many wither skeletons/skeletons/stray blazes/zombie piglin/magma cubes. However, a biome such as warped forest or soul sand valley spawn verry little mobs so a fortress here will spawn continuously. -Crimson, nether waste fortresses spawn very little -Basalt fortresses spawn a decent amount -Warped, soul sand valley fortresses spawn a ton Tip 4: You can make a fortress spawn more stray blazes and wither skeletons by turning your render distance to 5 when entering the fortress and slowly turning it back up. This works really well in warped and soul sand valleys. Tip 5: Go search up "minecraft nether quadrants", I dont remember the exact numbers and coordinates lmao. So basically if you're looking for a fortress or a bastion, its a good idea to go diagonally from 0 0 in all 4 directions. Its 50/50 whether a fotress or bastion would spawn (Ruined portals dont count)
Nether fortress tip: put the 3 block at every intersection. Replace the middle block with something different to signify the way out. I also like to put doorways and doors to make safe spots to heal and lure mobs like blazes into it if you dont have good aim with a bow. Then when you walking, all you have to do is follow the doorways with a different middle block to find the way out, and if that doesnt work, follow it the opposite way
If you expand the corridors and structures out by 5 from the generated nether brick you can get wither skeletons to spawn on a nether brick floor, you can make a poor man's fortress spawn platform by expanding halls/structure and making it 3 tall to increase spawnable area for wither skeletons
Use honey blocks to block of the way to the blaze spawner and shoot the blaze with a bow it works because honey blocks are not a full block if you shoot in-between two honey blocks it will go throw.
I always recommend lighting a Nether Fortress as you go, both to help you navigate and to prevent mobs from sneaking up behind you. Additionally, I would block off every intersection to 2 blocks of height to keep you safe from Wither Skeletons.
Fire res makes fortresses a lot safer. You have two ways to get those potions. Option 1: barter with piglins for fire res potions. Bring gold from the overworld, mine nether gold ore, or raid a bastion for the gold blocks. Turn them into ingots before bartering. Option 2: bring cobblestone, a crafting table, and some glass bottles filled with water, at least 3. A slime ball and redstone is also useful. Collect two blaze rods. Use one to craft a brewing stand, and turn the other to blaze powder. Combine one blaze powder with a slime ball (or defeat a magma cube) for a magma creme. Place the other blaze powder in the stand as fuel. Put the water bottles in the brewing stand, then 1 netherwart you found in the fort. Next, the magma creme. Finally, put a redstone dust in to extend the potion. You can also put the potions you get from piglins in the stand and add redstone to them to make them 8 minute potions.
My top nether hack - if it's relatively early game and you're struggling to source large quantities of arrows, find your nearest snowy biome, build a quick and dirty snow farm and then spam the blazes with fireballs instead of using up precious arrows.
Tip: Always keep blocks to mark your way! Bring 2 types. Use 1 type to block the head space where you haven't gone (like wattles did) to instantly provide protection. Use that same block to show where you haven't been. Use another block to mark a single space on the ground for where you have been. = dead end or no point of going that way. If you want to mark something important add another block type as well. Do this every time you come to an intersection and you will never get lost! I recommend cobble and netherack. This works great for strongholds too!
Partially lighting up the Blaze spawner can reduce the spawning speed to a more manageable rate. I put a torch on top of the spawner and one block away 4 more torches around it. Is slows the spawning down to an easy rate.
@@muurrarium9460 that’s the neat part! Bottles of water work in the nether as long as they’re throwable. They even do damage to blazes (although not much)
@@a_ninja2376 I am SO going to try this!! I never took any water with me (after the first bucket was a fail), I am off to have fun! Thanks guys (m/f/whatever)
this is sorta random but fun fact the only 2 ores that don't have a corresponding naturally spawning i block/slab/raw version are actually the coal block and emerald block, arguably the two easiest to get (btw not including netherite). gold and quartz in bastions, diamond and lapis in woodland mansions, redstone in ancient cities, raw copper and iron in ore veins, amethyst in geodes (if you even count that as an ore). edit: in 1.20 coal blocks now generate naturally in trail ruins so the emerald blocks is the only ore block that doesn't spawn naturally
Take some doors with you, and some extra chests or barrels. When you finally find a blaze spawner, find a wall nearby. Dig into the wall and make a 3 wide 3 high 3 deep panic room just to get started. Put the door up obviously. Then pick a place for the chest or dig a hole in the wall and put a barrel there. Store excess food, fire resistance potions, healing potions, extra arrows, ect, ect here for future emergency use in the chests or barrels. Recommend an Iron Door and use buttons to open door instead of pressure plates. Some mobs can open doors if pressure plates are used. You can always expand this basic starter room any way you like later on. Great to have a nearby safe spot to retreat to when farming for blaze rods. Also- if the spawner is in the open like the one seen in this video, put nether brick fences or cobblestone walls on top of the side "walls" of the pathway that lead up to the spawner. Makes the approach to the spawner a bit more safe. I mean it is all to easy to jump up on top of those pathway "walls" and fall off accidentally to a most unfortunate doom in the chaos & heat of combat with any mobs you are doing battle with.
Fortress hack. Wither skeletons are arguably the most dangerous mob in the Fortress, but they are technically 3 blocks tall. Put a roof on any hallway leading to wither skeletons, and they can't reach you.
Tip 1 from me: Use chunkbase to find approximate coordinates Tip 2 from my experience: Don't be hasty and don't get greedy. Do a couple runs for numbers of items potions and equipment 👍 a good fortress can give you a lot of stuff
Oooh. You showed a wither skull when you said the word farm. Are you finally planning to do the witherskeleton farm you promised three or four years ago😂? I understand that you want to talk about potions before the end, but just remember that you want to start the new base too. Finish the starter base and kill the dragon to feel free to do anything you want without pressure! The most important thing is that you enjoy playing you world😉. Ps: It's funny to think about the fact that I play Minecraft for 7 years now and still learn from your videos😂.
Lighting up the fortress is a great way to stop skeletons and wither skeletons from spawning, as they both need light level 0 to spawn. This, along with fire resistance potions are the best way to get blaze rods quickly if that's all you are there for
There is a way to do a wither skeleton spawn farm, because they can only spawn on nether bricks. Also use glowstone on Blaze spawners give enough light to stop spawnings.
What I do on structures (nether fortress, strongholds, end cities) is to hug on one side (i.e. left side) so that I can guarantee that I have visited all rooms.
My tip for nether fortress: I place torches on the left-hand side of the wall. When I want to find my way back, I make sure the torches are on my right to let me know I'm going back the way I came
Just finished my enchanting setup and hunting for a nether fortress as we speak, so perfect timing. When hunting for Ender Pearls I put the cover against a wall, so I know nothing can sneak up on me from behind so I feel much safer. PS: F Fredrico.
Bring a bow. Bows can save you from blazes far away, that you have no way of killing without exposing yourself, and can deal knockback against wither skeletons.
Fortress Hack: Use one of your building blocks to mark/block dead ends so you will know you don't need to go back down that path ever again. I always just put a single block with a torch on it. This works well in the stronghold as well.
Tip:sweet berries aren't ideal when raiding most dangerous structures but instead I advise getting steak,cooked porkchop or golden carrots because these have good saturation and help you regenerate faster
Use glow lichen instead of torches to mark and light the fort. They do not block mob spawn when hunting wither skeletons and can be farmed with bonemeal.
I don't see this tip but I think it's a no brainer, especially if you do the first fortress raid: wear at least one armor piece with level 4 fire protection, preferably 2 of them. They are not as good as the potion (or enchanted golden apple), but it makes a big difference getting fire damage. It can be the difference between life or death in a lot of occassions. If you don't have golden apples it might be a solution to carry suspicious stew made with an oxeye daisy. Downside however is they are not stackable, so after consuming it you have to craft a new one (no need for crafting table though) and that can be a distraction.
The 2 bock high barrier he does is essential. I love watching this though. Really speaks to the difficulty between bedrock v Java. In bedrock, you NEED a shield. I never use them except the fortress. I swear wither sleetons have a further hitbox on java- getting that close on br they will 100 hit you before you hit them... or sweeping edge has further reach. But, you need to torch everything in br or there will be spawns everywhere. fyi you can block blazes from spawning by putting down a ton of torches... little known thing. Anywho- comical watching the easiness of Java "hard mode". You'd be dead 10 times in br approaching a fortressn this way.
Blazes spawn at light level 11 o r below, that is only three blocks away from a torch. So to spawnproof the corridors of the fortress you rally need to spam torches
My Nether Fortress tip: If you are going to explore the fortress, put torches on the left side of the wall and when you want to return follow the torches when they are on the right side to find the exit
I used to get lost all the time, to solve this issue I place torches on the left side of me to indicate I’m exploring. When it’s time to go back I follow the torches on my right side. In other words, “The right path will lead you home”
using torches on ones side keeps you oriented and its useful to no get lost in caves or fortess, i use them on the right so i know if i see a torch in the left im returning
Nether fortress tip: make a blaze farm next to the blaze spawner. It’s the best way to get blaze rods and you don’t have blazes to worry about after that.
The best tip I have is to block off hallways on the third block. Make it so either skeletons can never get to you from behind and you can always run back there if you need. It makes fortresses too easy. Until you get to the open.
Place blocks three blocks up across the entirety of a fortress hallway every 10 blocks or so. Withers are taller than 2 blocks high and cannot attack you past the line of blocks.
"Diary", at least in my language, means "daily". "Journal" comes from the French word for "day", which is "jour". Not sure about the "nal" part, but hey, sounds like "all". Make of that what you will. But anyways, this roughly translates "journal" to "all day", or "every day", i.e. "daily", which means "diary" as we've previously established. So it doesn't matter at all how you call the thing where you write down your daily notes. Both names mean the same.
A few days ago I started a new minecraft world in java. At one point when I found my first or second nether fortress I at first got 1 wither skeleton skull after kill a few of them and I was like "what are the odds" and then after killing a few more of them, I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!

number one nether fortress tip GO! 👇👇👇
The nether fortress is divided into 2 sections, a open section where blaze spawners are and, a covered section where the chests are the two sections are always connected by the room with the lava in it. so if you are looking for blaze spawners stay in the open section
Aside from, "Carry Fire Res," bring a bunch of Blocks for Wither Skellies and Blaze shots.
never forget blocks it will cause your doom use the to block wither skeletons and blazes fire balls
You can build a shape in the hallway next the the blaze spawned that prevents the blazes from being able to hit you, but you can hit them
Don’t die in lava
Nether Fortress Tip: Try and cry before hand to avoid watery vision
Why didn't I saw this before.
Warning: cried beforehand, never stopped.
The actual term for the lava well is the Nether Fortress Hub, and as such it is the spawn point from which the fortress generates from, and can lead to all parts of the structure, both inside and out. So if you find a second Hub, you have found another fortress.
If you dont have access to potions yet, a sheild is extremely handy in the nether fortress. Can block those blase fire balls and skeleton arrows.
I was going to post this; shield is really good. 👍
Why DOESN'T Wattles ever use one??

Bring 30 obsidian and a few ender pearls. Put a nether portal in your safe spot in the fort. In the overworld you can get wood, water, food, and other things much easier than in the nether. The other 16 obby are to make ender chests.

hey wattles
I cleared close to twenty before I found my first trim. About 8k blocks from my home portal.
hey wattles, your videos are such a safe place for me. thanks for you❤❤
When looking for the badlands, I made a nether portal for efficient travel and boom, it was right beside a fortress.

What is the name of the song that goes like a Hu a Hu a Hu aha 25:56
I always take out the blaze spawners. There will be a lot of blazes anyway, they distract from hunting wither skulls and set everything on fire.
When you do your first Nether Fortress raid for the blaze rods and the nether wart I always bring with me the stuff to get my brewing and enderchest going: bucket(s) of water, cauldron, brewing stand or cobblestone, slime balls, redstone dust, obsidian and ender pearls. Once I have my first one or two blaze rods and my first nether wart I can brew my first extended fire resistance potions and from then on everything will be easier.
If you make and fill an ender chest, don't forget to bring at least one blaze powder home with your own inventory to make the other ender chest once home.

Penelope, Petunia, Peony, I’m having trouble keeping it straight! 😂
Ok some speedrunners tip here:
Tip 1. Every nether fortress is devided in 2 parts: the outside bridges with blaze spawners and the enclosed part with chests.
If you r in the enclosed part and wants to find blaze spawners, follow these rules:
-Go up normal staircases
-Go down netherwart staircases
- Go to the opposite side of balconies
Eventually you will find the lava well room which connects tthe 2 fortress parts.
Tip 2: Every fortress has 2 spawners so if you r waiting for the next spawn of blazes, it could be a good idea to go find the 2nd spawner.
Tip 3(very important): Fortress spawns more mob in biomes will low mob counts. So basically biomes like crimson forest has so many piglins and hoglins that if a fortress were to generate in one, its not gonna spawn many wither skeletons/skeletons/stray blazes/zombie piglin/magma cubes. However, a biome such as warped forest or soul sand valley spawn verry little mobs so a fortress here will spawn continuously.
-Crimson, nether waste fortresses spawn very little
-Basalt fortresses spawn a decent amount
-Warped, soul sand valley fortresses spawn a ton
Tip 4: You can make a fortress spawn more stray blazes and wither skeletons by turning your render distance to 5 when entering the fortress and slowly turning it back up. This works really well in warped and soul sand valleys.
Tip 5: Go search up "minecraft nether quadrants", I dont remember the exact numbers and coordinates lmao. So basically if you're looking for a fortress or a bastion, its a good idea to go diagonally from 0 0 in all 4 directions. Its 50/50 whether a fotress or bastion would spawn (Ruined portals dont count)
I swear to god, if Wattles doesn't read this, my 3 months of speedrunning 1.16.1 is wasted
Nether fortress tip: put the 3 block at every intersection. Replace the middle block with something different to signify the way out. I also like to put doorways and doors to make safe spots to heal and lure mobs like blazes into it if you dont have good aim with a bow. Then when you walking, all you have to do is follow the doorways with a different middle block to find the way out, and if that doesnt work, follow it the opposite way
If you expand the corridors and structures out by 5 from the generated nether brick you can get wither skeletons to spawn on a nether brick floor, you can make a poor man's fortress spawn platform by expanding halls/structure and making it 3 tall to increase spawnable area for wither skeletons
Use honey blocks to block of the way to the blaze spawner and shoot the blaze with a bow it works because honey blocks are not a full block if you shoot in-between two honey blocks it will go throw.
I always recommend lighting a Nether Fortress as you go, both to help you navigate and to prevent mobs from sneaking up behind you. Additionally, I would block off every intersection to 2 blocks of height to keep you safe from Wither Skeletons.
Exactly what I was going to say!
Fire res makes fortresses a lot safer. You have two ways to get those potions.
Option 1: barter with piglins for fire res potions. Bring gold from the overworld, mine nether gold ore, or raid a bastion for the gold blocks. Turn them into ingots before bartering.
Option 2: bring cobblestone, a crafting table, and some glass bottles filled with water, at least 3. A slime ball and redstone is also useful.
Collect two blaze rods. Use one to craft a brewing stand, and turn the other to blaze powder. Combine one blaze powder with a slime ball (or defeat a magma cube) for a magma creme. Place the other blaze powder in the stand as fuel. Put the water bottles in the brewing stand, then 1 netherwart you found in the fort. Next, the magma creme. Finally, put a redstone dust in to extend the potion.
You can also put the potions you get from piglins in the stand and add redstone to them to make them 8 minute potions.
My top nether hack - if it's relatively early game and you're struggling to source large quantities of arrows, find your nearest snowy biome, build a quick and dirty snow farm and then spam the blazes with fireballs instead of using up precious arrows.
The best helpful tip, don't die!
Tip: Always keep blocks to mark your way! Bring 2 types. Use 1 type to block the head space where you haven't gone (like wattles did) to instantly provide protection. Use that same block to show where you haven't been. Use another block to mark a single space on the ground for where you have been. = dead end or no point of going that way. If you want to mark something important add another block type as well. Do this every time you come to an intersection and you will never get lost! I recommend cobble and netherack.
This works great for strongholds too!
Might I say wattles that you are doing an immaculate job with season 4, even better than season 3. And I mean that with all sincerity😂
Stay mad
Partially lighting up the Blaze spawner can reduce the spawning speed to a more manageable rate.
I put a torch on top of the spawner and one block away 4 more torches around it. Is slows the spawning down to an easy rate.
My best tip is bring a shield and bottles of water plus some cobble so you can have materials for fire resistance asap. Makes the nether much easier
I thought you could not use water in the nether?
@@muurrarium9460 that’s the neat part! Bottles of water work in the nether as long as they’re throwable. They even do damage to blazes (although not much)
@@a_ninja2376 I am SO going to try this!!
I never took any water with me (after the first bucket was a fail), I am off to have fun!
Thanks guys (m/f/whatever)
this is sorta random but fun fact the only 2 ores that don't have a corresponding naturally spawning i block/slab/raw version are actually the coal block and emerald block, arguably the two easiest to get (btw not including netherite). gold and quartz in bastions, diamond and lapis in woodland mansions, redstone in ancient cities, raw copper and iron in ore veins, amethyst in geodes (if you even count that as an ore). edit: in 1.20 coal blocks now generate naturally in trail ruins so the emerald blocks is the only ore block that doesn't spawn naturally
btw in the new 1.20 trail ruins you can find naturally generated coal blocks
@@simon75859 oh yeah you're right i forgot about that i'll fix it
Honestly the best advice over been given and can pass on is use a SHIELD in your off hand when hunting blaze ! Saved me so many times 😅☺️
Love that you use the same song H3 sometime uses as background music! Family!
My personal hack for the Nether Fortress at 21:32 - get better aim
The dodge was comedically funny tho ngl
I think another nether survival series would be pretty entertaining
Take some doors with you, and some extra chests or barrels. When you finally find a blaze spawner, find a wall nearby. Dig into the wall and make a 3 wide 3 high 3 deep panic room just to get started. Put the door up obviously. Then pick a place for the chest or dig a hole in the wall and put a barrel there. Store excess food, fire resistance potions, healing potions, extra arrows, ect, ect here for future emergency use in the chests or barrels. Recommend an Iron Door and use buttons to open door instead of pressure plates. Some mobs can open doors if pressure plates are used. You can always expand this basic starter room any way you like later on.
Great to have a nearby safe spot to retreat to when farming for blaze rods.
Also- if the spawner is in the open like the one seen in this video, put nether brick fences or cobblestone walls on top of the side "walls" of the pathway that lead up to the spawner. Makes the approach to the spawner a bit more safe. I mean it is all to easy to jump up on top of those pathway "walls" and fall off accidentally to a most unfortunate doom in the chaos & heat of combat with any mobs you are doing battle with.
Fortress hack. Wither skeletons are arguably the most dangerous mob in the Fortress, but they are technically 3 blocks tall. Put a roof on any hallway leading to wither skeletons, and they can't reach you.
Tip 1 from me: Use chunkbase to find approximate coordinates
Tip 2 from my experience: Don't be hasty and don't get greedy. Do a couple runs for numbers of items potions and equipment 👍 a good fortress can give you a lot of stuff
Oooh. You showed a wither skull when you said the word farm. Are you finally planning to do the witherskeleton farm you promised three or four years ago😂?
I understand that you want to talk about potions before the end, but just remember that you want to start the new base too. Finish the starter base and kill the dragon to feel free to do anything you want without pressure! The most important thing is that you enjoy playing you world😉.
Ps: It's funny to think about the fact that I play Minecraft for 7 years now and still learn from your videos😂.
omg well honestly its an honor that i can show you new stuff still!!
bro is giving wattles instructions about his videos
@@jujoya😢
Lighting up the fortress is a great way to stop skeletons and wither skeletons from spawning, as they both need light level 0 to spawn. This, along with fire resistance potions are the best way to get blaze rods quickly if that's all you are there for
Big Tip: Using Fire Resistance Potions makes you completely invulnerable to Blazes. It’s Best to farm them using potions to avoid any hassle.
As soon as you enter the nether, trade with piglins for a fire res potion, always carry a fire res potion.
There is a way to do a wither skeleton spawn farm, because they can only spawn on nether bricks. Also use glowstone on Blaze spawners give enough light to stop spawnings.
Best nether tip that I have is golden apples for sure. They practically help with every asset of the fortress
Golden carrots work too! Golden apples are great, carrots are just easier to farm.
21:29 epic magma cube arrow dodge😎
What I do on structures (nether fortress, strongholds, end cities) is to hug on one side (i.e. left side) so that I can guarantee that I have visited all rooms.
My tip for nether fortress: I place torches on the left-hand side of the wall. When I want to find my way back, I make sure the torches are on my right to let me know I'm going back the way I came
Just finished my enchanting setup and hunting for a nether fortress as we speak, so perfect timing.
When hunting for Ender Pearls I put the cover against a wall, so I know nothing can sneak up on me from behind so I feel much safer.
PS: F Fredrico.
make a portal near the fortress if it's far from your original portal is another good tip in general :P
My first time finding an armor trim. Yesterday I found four Coast armor trims in one shipwreck. It was pretty swell
Tip: use honey blocks to create a shield while fighting blazes, u can shoot through the joint between two honey blocks
Bring a bow. Bows can save you from blazes far away, that you have no way of killing without exposing yourself, and can deal knockback against wither skeletons.
when fighting blazes use your shield and jump because they can hit your head over the shield because of the hit box
Fortress Hack: Use one of your building blocks to mark/block dead ends so you will know you don't need to go back down that path ever again. I always just put a single block with a torch on it. This works well in the stronghold as well.
Tip:sweet berries aren't ideal when raiding most dangerous structures but instead I advise getting steak,cooked porkchop or golden carrots because these have good saturation and help you regenerate faster
Nether fortress cool
Wattles cool
Can't wait for the dragon fight then... The FOREVER BASE. it will be sick cant wait
The wither skeletons tips are really useful
Put a cobblestone block in the corridor with a torch on the side you came from, then you can follow the touches home from anywhere.
the wither skeleton head with the diamond armour reminded me of sci craft episode one lol
great vid btw
My netherwart despawned when I was trying to get back after I died. I'm glad I can maybe find some in chests.
Use glow lichen instead of torches to mark and light the fort. They do not block mob spawn when hunting wither skeletons and can be farmed with bonemeal.
I don't see this tip but I think it's a no brainer, especially if you do the first fortress raid: wear at least one armor piece with level 4 fire protection, preferably 2 of them. They are not as good as the potion (or enchanted golden apple), but it makes a big difference getting fire damage. It can be the difference between life or death in a lot of occassions.
If you don't have golden apples it might be a solution to carry suspicious stew made with an oxeye daisy. Downside however is they are not stackable, so after consuming it you have to craft a new one (no need for crafting table though) and that can be a distraction.
21:32 this Magma Cube is Neo himself
21:32 the magma cube watches too much action movies
My number one tip for a nether fortress is to bring fire resistance potions from Piglins
The 2 bock high barrier he does is essential. I love watching this though. Really speaks to the difficulty between bedrock v Java. In bedrock, you NEED a shield. I never use them except the fortress. I swear wither sleetons have a further hitbox on java- getting that close on br they will 100 hit you before you hit them... or sweeping edge has further reach. But, you need to torch everything in br or there will be spawns everywhere. fyi you can block blazes from spawning by putting down a ton of torches... little known thing. Anywho- comical watching the easiness of Java "hard mode". You'd be dead 10 times in br approaching a fortressn this way.
At 24:13, when he stops to look around, you would be surrounded by mobs there on br, for example... the fact that there is nothing spawning is insane.
Break the blocks under a blaze spawner.
So, I added a waystone to the center of my Enderman Farm. I will do the same for a Blaze farm. Thanks for the tips.
Blazes spawn at light level 11 o r below, that is only three blocks away from a torch. So to spawnproof the corridors of the fortress you rally need to spam torches
My Nether Fortress tip:
If you are going to explore the fortress, put torches on the left side of the wall and when you want to return follow the torches when they are on the right side to find the exit
I am trying to get in to a nether fortress at the moment and this just the video I need
Late game tip for Wither Skeletons: Netherite Sword with Smite V = 1 hit kill with a critical hit
I used to get lost all the time, to solve this issue I place torches on the left side of me to indicate I’m exploring.
When it’s time to go back I follow the torches on my right side. In other words, “The right path will lead you home”
using torches on ones side keeps you oriented and its useful to no get lost in caves or fortess, i use them on the right so i know if i see a torch in the left im returning
The Like Button flashing when mentioned 💪🏽
Nether fortress tip: make a blaze farm next to the blaze spawner. It’s the best way to get blaze rods and you don’t have blazes to worry about after that.
Wattles, my man! I love your content! Don't you think it's time to take off the C-vid mask, though?
I like to put fire resistance 4 unbreaking 3 on my gold helmet (and later mending). Having dedicated nether gear makes life a lot easier!
Nether Fortress Tip: I like to use cobblestone to mark the endless long hallways so I know where I've searched already!
wattles is one of the best
This vid is so well made. But came for the tips
Comment of the day was fire! 🔥
The best tip I have is to block off hallways on the third block. Make it so either skeletons can never get to you from behind and you can always run back there if you need. It makes fortresses too easy. Until you get to the open.
Lol, I guess I should kept watching first
Hey wattles, can you keep the episode names consistent or number the episodes so I know which video is for what series? Thank you!!
Place blocks three blocks up across the entirety of a fortress hallway every 10 blocks or so. Withers are taller than 2 blocks high and cannot attack you past the line of blocks.
Hey wattles😁
"Diary", at least in my language, means "daily". "Journal" comes from the French word for "day", which is "jour". Not sure about the "nal" part, but hey, sounds like "all". Make of that what you will. But anyways, this roughly translates "journal" to "all day", or "every day", i.e. "daily", which means "diary" as we've previously established.
So it doesn't matter at all how you call the thing where you write down your daily notes. Both names mean the same.
A few days ago I started a new minecraft world in java. At one point when I found my first or second nether fortress I at first got 1 wither skeleton skull after kill a few of them and I was like "what are the odds" and then after killing a few more of them, I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!
