Finding Nether Fortresses & Every Biome: Minecraft 1.20 Guide

Well well well visitors and before the opening sequence too hey wait up wait up how are you gonna just show up at my house and then just leave like you don’t even stop to say hi or anything it’s so rude come on man cut me a break you want

Me knock at the door once you don’t give me a second to get over to you have I got the boat for you get in a boat oh you with the magic crossbow over there funny looking fella hey I got a boat for you no no leave me alone leave me alone

No this is my property this is my property you don’t act like that here that’s not how we do it here all right you don’t hear your bones are sick Em the second Bonzo go get em come on I’m not doing too high right now go get them

Bozo I am just gonna get a little bit a bit of beauty sleep man I’ll talk to you in the morning come on boy I thought you were my best friend I got his best friend and you’re letting the grumpy visitor her water all over the property here come on come on

You’re supposed to protect the real estate how you doing everybody it’s me Waddles and welcome to the next Banger of an episode in this episode we’re gonna talk how to find every single biome in the Nether and maybe if we’re lucky every single structure too it’s all in preparation for something big we’re

Gonna take on next but I guess I’ll be taking it out alone doesn’t look like bones are gonna help me out with anything come on man visitors visitors for only the second time in the world surprisingly a Pillager Patrol is visited what I was gonna try to show off here is boats

Boats are beautiful for containing controlling Pillager Patrol like them will come at you and maybe be annoying problematic put them in a boat and then take them out and steal their tools oh it’s beautiful hey hey I thought I saw something to the river over there by the

Portal another crossbow too off to a great start hey there Bonzo get out of the boat well it’s not for you you didn’t have them it is a scary evil dark fiery Dimension if you’re planning on heading out to the nether in search of something it’s a great idea to prepare a

Little bit first you may remember earlier on we better than nether in this world but oh friends these days are a little bit different times have improved very very much so we got a bow now that’s gonna be huge help when heading off into the nether the number one tool

To have is preparation well a preparation and a general knowledge of things and how they’re gonna work when inside of the nether ideally most of the bad mobs that we’re gonna encounter if we could encounter them at a distance that would be beautiful to encounter them at a distance a great boat like

This one right here with these enchantments oh it’s gonna help out a huge time now I would like to splice this ball up a little bit with a beautiful name Jack Harlow I don’t know I feel like it has a nice ring to it so we’ll go with that

Bowen Champions oh enchantments let’s do a quick rundown real quick here Unbreaking It’s Gonna Save the durability a little bit flame I don’t have anything I think I really want to Flame right now but when I take this bow and I shoot something with a plane if

It’s not in the water it’s gonna catch on fire when I shot that fish it didn’t stay on fire because it was in water and it doesn’t have enough Health but it sure got cooked with that spicy Arrow power is gonna make our bow even stronger and then finally Infinity

Always beautiful with infinity our arrows are infinite all I needed to have for this bow to work continuously is one single era other nether supplies that are a must-have when looking for specific bios extra blocks a saddle this is a beautiful thing to have sorry Camelot I’ll bring it back later more

Than enough extra food after all it’s never a fun thing to get stranded in the Nether and without enough food decent Armory if possible with maybe even a little bit of fire protection that’ll help save you from the fire a little bit a couple of extra potions including fire

Resistance and night vision but hey just like it was in last episode we don’t have those equation so I let’s give him today one single plain old fishing rod I think that’s the verse of the world we’ll bring our trusted by glass the fellow’s been helping out a lot and

Definitely a gold helmet too and finally last but not least even more extra building blocks so we can go even farther than we could have ever before let’s go to the nether why was that Bonzo whoa hey you want to go to the nether no you’re not old enough to go to

The nether yet that’s so dangerous in there no after what you do with the boat a little while ago no chance you go to the nether you wait here you gotta watch over the base you never know what cameloto gets up now uh off to the nether off to the Netherland previously

When we went into the nether well uh let’s just say previously we went into the nether we didn’t exactly have the best luck we absolutely didn’t have the worst luck but our spawn here is not very good at all when going into The Nether looking for every single biome

The step one put on a gold helmet you don’t want to have to deal with the piglet they’re gonna get mad at you if you don’t have gold then step two pop a portal down and make it a little bit safer and then look around 100 of the

Time you’re gonna be in one of the five nether biomes right from the start this biome they weren’t currently inside of it is the Crimson borisbah one of the most dangerous ones now as we start to find the different nether biomes in today’s episode we’ll talk a little bit

About the specifics of each one the Crimson forest biome was dangerous it’s got Crimson all over the place the Crimson is basically like these tree things all over the ground sometimes you will find piglet zombified piglet like that guy right there and hogly we see

The hog of it or two before and they’re absolutely terrified if you can find one of these mushrooms right here really quick the blue ones it might save your life and actually because there are a couple over here we’ll grab as many as we can and that’s a Hogan right here if

I place this mushroom down the hogland showed follow the rules and be uh be afraid of me this thing is basically gonna make like a almost like a safety net if you will ah you’re gonna really be over here well if you unfortunately eventually find these things one of the

Greatest ways to deal with them like stay away from them is pillar up if you can get like four blocks up and use like an overpowered quote like mine right here you can take them out you can cook them take them out cook them and you’ll

Get a little bit of leather and ooh some delicious food too before we get too far into things I would like to backtrack a little bit when exploring inside of the nether it’s all about the subtle details you see the nether it’s all about the mood the Ambiance the vibe it’s got a

Whole feeling going on here inside of the Crimson forests the feeling is red hazy bog in the far distance if we zoom in over here you can kind of see it’s hard to see but definitely more so when you’re out in the open like over here in

The far distance things get a little bit red and we got these red particles bumping around other than be careful and don’t lose your wave my number three nether exploration tip is pay attention to the subtle things here the fog if I move over here it gets a little bit more

Blue up by the ceiling instead of like red when I move over here and look far away you see it’s kind of hard to see the fog the particle effects or even the sounds inside of the nether are a dead giveaway as to what’s going on when it

Comes to the BIOS earlier on when we came to the nether for the first time we found our second out of five another bios this biome is insanely insanely dangerous it’s called The Soul Sand Valley biome now unfortunately or fortunately no matter how you want to

Look at it I can’t really get into the proper Soul Sand Valley but I’m kind of trapped inside of a big Ravine here you’ll find Soul Sand all over the place slowing your movement down to make matters worse you’re gonna have skeletons on the ground and in the sky

You’re gonna have to watch out for guests the fog is a cool blue hazy fog typically when starting out here inside of another you’re probably gonna travel by land you run around inside of the biomes if possible maybe sick on top of trees or at high benches points if

You’re in a dangerous biome like this one right here absolutely don’t get yourself a quarter you get yourself Corner that could possibly be the end of you when looking for more biomes the first thing we’re kind of hoping to find here is somewhere that’s a whole lot

More open than where we dropped into The Nether with our portal if we can get out into the wide open like let’s say over here on this peninsula and definitely keep the hogling away I see you buddy I see you go away if we can stay far enough away

From the hog when it won’t sit me I can take it out nice and easily move over pick up the drops and continue to explore now I gotta be careful with hoglands because sometimes they tend to spawn in packs staying out in the open or up high will hopefully minimize the

Damage all guns will deal to you but anyways it’s out of the open ah they open the open biome number three check just like that once you made it to an open air area and another you can finally see around there are multiple things that’ll give you Clues as to

What’s going on with the biomes here biome number three that biome over there that’s gonna be the plain old nether waste bottle it’s just got Netherrack all over the place this right here is a lava ocean not technically its own biome but definitely a huge generation feature

Of another if we look around in the far distance that like the fog and the ceiling blocks we can see if the biome changes I don’t think we are here but if we were able to save spot Basalt on the ceiling or Soul Sand that would be a

Dead giveaway that there’s a different biome off in the distance however at this point of problem right now we’re trying traveling by land but the land it has kind of run out here this is the lava ocean I only have fire reduction 4 on my boots and even if I had more fire

Protection on this armor it’s not really a great idea to swim around in the lava ocean we need to get somewhere and again somewhere oh it’s our beautiful stringy haired for him so remember this fishing rod that we built well we’re gonna take that fishing rod and combine it with one

Of these blue mushrooms inside of the table now we’re gonna put that in the hot bar put that on the hot bar and walk over near our Strider Fred Striders for weed Strider we’re gonna have to be careful here we don’t want to fall down

Into lava or anything but if we can get close enough to a Strider down low in the ocean and show them this rock It’s Gonna actually run over to me quickly dried or Strider Strider Strider come on come on come on ah you guys are all the

Way too far from me no no no no so if you get in this situation you might have to end up using blocks to block out near The Strider but hey hey buddy look at me look at me could you see me hey maybe you see me at least Oh yay you

Definitely see me Hi friend destroyed this Strider is one of the many nether mobs and also I think it might be actually the only nether mob that isn’t just inherently hating it The Strider is amazing we’re traveling across a lot of ocean you see The Strider here our

Friend is wearing like netherite boots or something which means it can Cruise cleanly across the lava it doesn’t hurt at all it can walk on land too but when it walks on land it’ll be a whole lot more slow this fishing rod is essentially the steering wheel while we

Hold this thing in our main hander on Java the offhand as well we can basically change the direction that we want to go we got to watch out for things like that in the distance though oh the first gas to this world now while other Strider on the lava

Ocean do not get all over the Strider 100 is dangerous to do that if you can find another stride or nearby like that hey my friend you’re gonna come with me we’re gonna do a little uh nice little trick farming a saddle real quick using these two Striders that I have bought

We’re gonna walk carefully back over to live we’re gonna get off of our Strider we’re still holding this we need to get your attention hey buddy come back hey buddy hey buddy uh you follow me walk with me cleanly over the land while it’s nice and quiet and safe because I need

To show them something so over here on the land we’re gonna go ahead and put that away and turn on hitboxes the Striders are gonna walk back towards the lobby if I’m quick enough I can hit this Strider and it’s kind of cruel what I’m doing here ethics ain’t questionable but

We gotta keep you on the land here you walk over here it doesn’t have too much help maybe we’ll hold that for a quick second anyways friend I hate to do this it’s so sad but my friend you have to go away we hate you and take you out the

Piglet doesn’t care right there and it has dropped the second saddle I turn one it too and just like that in one of the most tragically cruel moves of all time I’ve taken one Strider and kind of turned it into two now it’s back to the lava rocks it’s not a cruise

And our search for everything and anything inside of the nether the lava ocean is basically like our best case scenario here if I were able to move inside of this lava ocean with a night vision potion I could see like well hey you won’t be able to see very far the

Nether has this whole fog effect eliminating your distance but things would at least be a little bit brighter moving around in the nether while avoiding gas in the lava ocean is by far one of the fastest and easiest early to mid-game methods to get around this place

So that other ways by one this is a wonderful biome for building Farms like a gold farm specifically but for today it’s not that interesting doesn’t really have things that we’re looking for other than maybe structures if we use this fishing rod one time check this out our

Boat it has legs all of a sudden The Strider is going to fold out Sprint here we do have to be careful though because this is going to use up the durability on the rod a little bit now cruising around here it seems like I wrapped back around to the nether Crimson Forest

Bound that I was in initially it’s wonderful but I don’t care about it we’re looking for two more bottles but so deltas and a crimson forest fire when it comes to the placement of the nether biomes unlike the Overworld there’s not really like a specific a

Type of spot that you will fight for example the Soul Sand Valley could generate next to anything in the world it could be the Crimson Forest another waste bomb the blue Forest doesn’t matter at all when traveling with a Strider inside of the Soul Sand Valley

Bob you got to be careful gasp on here all over the place against skeletons Swan all over the place if you can avoid getting close to the land and having to deal with the skeletons while on top of a Strider and on top of lava yeah yeah

That would be beautiful ah so now they’re nether this whole Sand Valley biome I don’t really like to try and hang out inside of this battle if possible I would like to cut through this bio and maybe find something else new and beautiful like uh like a structure

Like a beautiful structure I didn’t think we were gonna find instructions today you never know but structured number one out of like two major nether structures the nether fortress when analava ocean with a Strider you need to be careful if you find another Fortress you’re gonna have rage mobs called The

Blaze all over this thing they’ll shoot at you from a long ways away they got like Aimbot or something oh that’s beautiful oh that’s wonderful now as you can see here I pause the game with a coordinates sunscreen this is a beautiful moment for me and you both in

A moment we’re gonna remember forever I’ll cherish the coordinates of this structure and set up a Minecraft guide dire hey when exploring in the nether obviously if you end up finding the thing that you’ve been looking for your whole life then great great news you’re done exploring go check that thing out like

The nether fortress but if you were to say looking for that thing specifically today and write the coordinates down somewhere take a screenshot something and keep moving wow so this thing is beautiful and one of the easiest ways to find a nether portrait is out of the

Lava ocean you cruise around for a little while it’s nice wide and open generally a little bit safer you don’t got to worry about a hog looks just like the sky everything like that but yeah another Fortress that’s beautiful right nice with another Fortress coincidentally we have our next bio

The basalt Delta’s biome this is gonna be a great biome for farming a little bit later on for today there’s really not too much here inside of a completely different world here so we can check out the characteristics of the basalt Deltas biome oh it’s interesting this is

Actually the final biome that was added to the nether update and it was actually kind of a surprise as well added later out of the cycle the bazal Delta’s Vibe is a difficult biome to travel across magma cubes are gonna spawn all over this place and jump at you try and

Damage you the big ones are really dangerous too also all over the bottom you have random like pillars sticking out and then sometimes you’ll have Mega Bloks and a lot of them in between the pillars traveling through this biome in the nether is sort of like a parkour

Maze Extravaganza you got to do a lot of jump but you got to watch out for a whole lot of lava and you probably gotta Place more blocks to actually like you know get around inside of this battle definitely be careful here oh it’s so

Easy to fall wow so inside of our world here today four out of five another bimes have been successfully located and they’re all like relatively close so far too that’s so good I’m personally so tempted to stop and check out all these biomasses but we have to stay moving

Because actually coincidentally the bomb that we need the most for the project that I’m kind of slowly trying to work on it’s gonna be the blue bottle the only bomb that we haven’t found quite yet so our little Adventure the project that we’re working on I would like to

Play a little game with you guys I’m not going to say specifically what it is or why we’re looking for the blue file but I’d like you to to maybe try and take a guess if you call it down in the comments below well then well then my friend you have

Successfully bought on the next episode before I even made it I like crazy is that is that what have I seeing over there in the distance oh I’m seeing I’m seeing Netherrack okay that makes sense another thing I like to talk about real quick here in case we

Don’t find one is the piglet Bastion finding a piglet Bastion in all honesty is pretty similar to locating another Fortress right now today if I was gonna find one the best way to do that would be Cruiser on the lava ocean with a Strider other great ways to find a

Bastion though are the other great ways to explore the nether run around on land or maybe set to the sky ah the Elijah this is kind of like our first introduction to it in the series obviously it’s not something we have in our world quite yet we’ll get it way

Later on with the elytra is an amazing way to travel around the world and find things relatively quickly inside of the nether once you find a wide open spot like I found inside of my world or inside of this random one if you’re careful you can use it a lighter to

Cruise around this open space the Elijah it moves really quick when paired with a rocket so it’s pretty easy to dodge a lot of the big dangerous things inside of the nether if you’re watching this video in search of finding something inside of your world and you’re way

Later game you have an elytra consider bringing that thing with you to the nether because it’s actually like really really great so I think there’s one in the journey I’m not 100 sure but I’m pretty sure I’ve circled all the way back around to the nether waste bottle what we could do

Here if we had a map is check the map let’s say you go ahead and swap some stuff really quick open the map up and oh well that’s awkward yeah so if you didn’t know inside of the nether Maps do not work at all if you try and make a

Map in the nether you get this really cool pattern maybe you could use that for like a fancy expensive wallpaper or something but Maps 100 do that work you can kind of use them for the approximate Direction but as you can see my player icon thing it’s just spinning in a

Circle even though I’m definitely not spinning in a circle right now it’s something I was always kind of hoping they would do inside of another update but like add a different type of map like maybe a new type of paper that you would find inside of the Nether and it

Would like exclusively map the nether at a certain y level maybe the Y level you made it at or something but yeah unfortunately maps in the nether 100 it absolutely really cool looking but also a no-go there’s no help blue Forest bomb come out come out wherever you are I desperately need the

Blue Boris bottle even more importantly beautifully if I could have the blue forest biome and maybe pop up really really what you doing wise guy right in front of your child too I should feel bad you got a small family or hey you had a family oh I’m sorry about that it really

Wasn’t my fault I feel terrible okay we’ll move up whoa whoa whoa hold on hold on wait a second either I win in like the biggest circle in the world oh and I think it’s definitely the ore uh or I have gone and found myself a second nether portrait

Baby oh my gosh that’s beautiful nether fortress number two of the day wow this is so great we’re gonna have to come back to the Nether and check out foragers and soon but a little bit less wonderful here I think I need to leave that lava ocean at this point in the

Search today my luck is not going insanely hot I do have two other options alternative option number one not an option I’m gonna use but you should know about it ah well would you take a look at that and they’re good old trusty bread and chunk Bays we’re back again

Over on chunk base I’ll drop a link to it down in the description we’ve got a couple really really powerful tools here there are specific tools for things that you could find but one of my favorite things is the seed map app from our world we would need to grab the world

Seat after that we need to pick the version that we’re playing this game on whether it’s Minecraft Java Minecraft Bedrock a really really old update or maybe a newer update we find our specific version which is going to be this one then we will go ahead and pick

The dimension that we’re looking at let’s say the nether after that we scroll down we got a map of the entire nether dimension in here as we zoom in we’ll see different structures located around whatever world this one is right here and we’ll see different biomes the

Nether only has five biomes so you don’t really need to use the biome filter but if you wanted to you could filter out everything and say only look for the Soul Sand Valley move your mouse around and find the Soul Sand Valley that looks like the one you’re looking for get the

Coordinates and move over there so now this spot right here I definitely recognize this 100 I think this is where I was moving along inside of the first time we went to the NEP I moved along until I found Estrada off in the distance and I saw a structure too let’s

Check ah no it’s actually a little bit unfortunate I didn’t bring my diamond big ax I wanted to be like really really careful here inside of the nether but this thing it’s a ruined portal room portals are one of the structures you can find inside of the nether yeah it’s

Rider friends just give me one second and what kind of little I mean some beautiful golden horse armor I’ll take it a full engine seal I guess okay a minute it’s not the best look at least there’s a gold block when exploring in the nether keep your

Eyes out for the room portal it’s definitely one of the structures of all time oh no sweet Strider I think the lava ocean has ended we’re out of luck basically it’s the end of the line so we’ve tried our friend I don’t do so well but I think we’re gonna

Have to cross the land somewhere to hopefully lead us to new adventures let’s try it or friend I need the saddle bag what exploring inside of the nether it’s sad but it’s true the only way to get a saddle back from a stride is to unfortunately remove that stride from all existence

Forever but you know what no you’re a keeper Strider I could never do that to you let’s try and move back this way and take a look at this land it almost looked like I could maybe Walk The Strider up the land and sure it’ll be

Slow and dangerous but I can walk The Strider up the Lane right here of the zoo and maybe I can find more after all using the subtle clues of the nether here we take a look at the ceiling and it definitely doesn’t look like it curves down if the ceiling doesn’t look

Like it curves down it might curve up and if it curves up it might be a new lava ocean so let’s see The Strider kid will be walking one block at a time and it needs to have like a block to start off so that means if I dig this one out

Right here then I should be able to walk right up this box walk up to the land and hopefully no hoglands and aha aha all right so with a Strider you can actually jump down a couple blocks we got to be careful here if you fall too

Many blocks The Strider will lose itself and by the way the Striders held this on that side of the bar probably should have said that earlier now at this point in the game all that I better do is instead of heading to the middle of the live ocean try and travel along the

Border of this lava ocean and hopefully eventually the biles will lead me to the correct bio we can use the speed boost thing every once in a while to give ourselves a little bit more speed but we gotta be careful we don’t want to overdo

I really do I’m not that guy oh my Strider and you oh no that was a mistake all right well I’ve let no option you have to go you eventually have to go you’re mad at me I’m gonna have to deal with that and one Strider one of you no

Not both of you I gotta be careful all right look at this point I don’t remember who’s who it was saddle your mind I am so is so sorry about that the Strider oh I took the wrong way well let’s just say my Strider oh no I magically despawned I need to find

Another one oh this is so sad as I solemnly build out into the lava ocean in search of a second to stridermy a sad memorandum our first Strider sweet sweet Sally Sally never knew she was just trying to help she just wanted to stride and stride him and stride him for

Forever truly sweet deer Strider Sally just always was going for greatness I wanted to find every biome in the Nether and then explore and find a blue wanna be happy together but unfortunately the reality this sad reality this cold the cruel world had something different in mind let’s keep moving

Oh hold up hold up strategy chilling what are you doing just like live in a waterfall it’s like a theme park or something ah man Strider are such sweet innocent creatures it’s actually beautiful nope nope nope watch out for gas in this drive that’s dangerous and so after traveling beautifully for

Like a million trillion thousand blocks as lava slowly pours in as lava slowly pours in we find the sweet to be beautiful the amazing final violent that we’re looking for today oh my friends we did it to find the biomes inside of the nether you might have to

Travel high but if you can travel low like as in why 32 lava ocean low Always by far easily the best way to find things that you’re looking for side of the nether all right so now we’ve finally done it I can get off of this Rider because we found the biome

That we needed it is I think really far from the portal like we’re at like approximately zero zero for the portal but this biome is a beautiful useful place and even better and it’s got a big ocean nearby this is gonna be wonderful for what we’re gonna want to do next and

How did you see me from so far away or or did you I don’t care not taking a chance so with the coordinates the location of this biome successfully located we would have two options at this point we could either option one dig a big tunnel all

The way back over to the base but I I think it’s gonna be a little bit far option number two if I had the supplies I can make a portal then get out of here right away but I don’t have obsidian or a portal so option number three here

Taking a look at this Bob I’m just seeing how big it is and wow this place is so big this is wonderful but option number three here is we just slowly make our way back home now that I have the coordinates of this place I run them

Down in my journal I could get back to this place anytime odd hour slow track back home I would like to answer today’s question the comments of the day it’s a simple one for me it’s right now it’s nothing new I don’t know it’s just so good it’s such a good song

Hi so one successful another trip down and here we are back over at home sweet home and basically now this Strider inherently is gonna want to go to the lava because that’s where it’s most comfortable temporarily for now before this thing walks too far away hey come

Back here come back here come on I didn’t even do anything to you before this thing it walks too far away stop it stop it oh no you are not stop walking away why is it he’s just leaving me how do you do anything dude for all the

Journey that we went on the times and memories we made together you want to just run away from me just leave me for nothing out of the lava ocean oh stride it you’re on my bad side anyways I was trying to say before this Strider just wanders off into the abyss

And leaves me for nothing before all that happens we’ll make a small cell that looks something like this we’ll put blocks in there like that and it’s trapped there forever anyways nether biomes finding them that’s odd stuff back inside of the Overworld one final thing that we didn’t really get to talk

About today is the other nether locating method you see let’s say you had a really really bad nether spot you know yeah kind of like our spawn it’s out of the nether there well long story short basically because of how nether portal works if you have a bad spawn like you

Don’t like the area that you’re in all you would need to do is go to a different spot in your world like far enough away and essentially make a second portal you go far away like as far as possible you make a brand new portal jump into the portal and check it

Out but mortal travel hey it’s a topic for another time that’s all for today’s episode if you enjoy this one and this beautiful bow make sure you smash the like on this video And subscribe next up check out this one April Marie 23 Nick C and Autumn
