I appreciate the calmer, more mature narration.
Another strategy to looting nether fortresses: if you go into a hallway and arrive at a dead end, go back and block it off with any block so you won’t accidentally go to that dead end /no loot end again
My tip is when first raiding a fortress make sure you have like 6 stacks of stone type block. Like cobble or deepslate. Make bridges everywhere so you can quickly run from a place to other using the made bridges. Also what I suggest is already bring 3 water bottles with you and a piece of redstone. This way when you find a fortress you only need a magma cube and blazerod to make yourself 3 8min fire res potions... Also bring normal golden apples. Or bring apples and mine the gold in the nether. Having like 10-20 golden apples really helps. Because you can eat them and just try to always stay above 6 hearts. The witherskeletons hurt. Also make a lot of safe spots where 2 high gaps and or places in the walls where you could quickly hide because blazes have extreme range and you could be seeing no mobs and then 10 seconds later there are like 4 witherskelletons and 3 blazes around the corner...
That's horrible advice especially if those bridges are over lava and and just bring the 3 potions with you. 3 inventory slots. If you make them there three water bottles a piece of netherwart the brewing stand. That's 5 Then hope you find blaze rods and magma cream. Where do you put your loot when your inventory is full of water bottles cobble and apples.
Bro i got trapped in a corridor with 3 blazes in front and 3 behind i couldn’t do anything because i panicked and death was the result 😂😂 and because they shoot fire my overpowered bow vannished had to get 40 xp to re build it 😢
Personally, i would recommend this to people with potato PC or Android devices as it is definitely not easy to navigate the nether safely with lag or poor framerate. Also , Android devices sometimes freeze while playing especially in the nether while the game still runs potentially getting you killed by ghasts or some other hazard: Cover your portal with cobblestone or some hard block. Then create a pillar that doesn't get blown up by ghasts and make the ladders to go till y level 118. Then use chunkbase to find nether fortress or bastions. This is just a suggestion btw.
@@moazammuhammad565 not trying to kill the fun but, that makes the same amount of sense as people thinking crystals can magically cure you from anything
As of 1.19, "spawn proof" nether fortress has become more difficult as the devs increased the light level to be 11 or above for mobs, specific for this structure. In my 1.17 game, I could barely have a Wither Skeleton in it. Now they are everywhere, just more visible.
Best strat right now I would say is to bring about 3 stacks of building material and put up little anti-Witherskeleton beams around every corner and halfway through hallways. For extra long hallways, place a little 2 high pillar to approach blazes more easily. No need to mob-proof entirely if you can make just make mobs much easier to deal with. Also helps you with getting loot more easily.
As a speedrunner,there is also a way to locate the fortress without chunkbase web,and its called pie-ray.We can select block entities in the pie chart inside the f3 menu.Then we can search for a mob spawner in the chart.And mob spawner in nether are most likely blaze spawners in fortresses.And so we can know which direction and how many chunks away the fortress is🤔😆
Also, not everyone knows about the Red Nether Brick blocks either. You'll need a lot of nether wart to make them, but they're a brighter red version of the normal blocks. You can make them with 2 nether bricks and 2 nether wart. IIRC that gives you one red nether brick block. Kind of expensive unless you have a nether wart farm and are using fortune 3 to farm your nether wart. But it's a great way to get rid of all that ugly netherrack taking up all your chest space. Smelt the netherrack into bricks and then combine. Voila!
You can use Looting with a bow, snowball, crossbow, trident, as you please. The the looting effect happens if you’re holding a looting sword when the mob dies by any attack from you. It’s easiest to use the bow in your off hand, though you can be fancy and shoot the arrow or other weapon and switch to your sword while it’s flying to the target. This can make collecting rods much easier, since you can see a sliver of a blaze’s hitbox around a corner and fire before it can see you. Standing above fortress bridges and raining arrows down on all the wither skeletons in range while holding a Looting III sword works well to collect skulls. Doing this in open plain at night lets you stock up on gunpowder too. It’s also one of the only easy ways to use Looting on a ghast without an elytra, dropping up to 4 tears and 5 gunpowder with Looting III. Gold or iron, or worn out, swords with Looting can be perfect for this, since it takes no durability from the sword and the damage is done by the arrow.
Woah !! That's really helpful to know and I believe very few people know about this stuff I just got my looting 3 sword but I was worried about how will I confront a wither skeletons cuz I am not good at 1v1 So Thanks a lot !!
One thing I'd like to add, you can shoot an arrow before it hits a mob then switch to a looting sword to have the looting effect applied to the arrow. I know this works on bedrock but Java I am 50/50 with
I believe that, at least on Java, if you hold your Looting enchanted sword in your off hand, your bow and arrow will effectively have Looting too. Of course, this isn't something you can do while holding a shield.

When i was 8-9 years i always died in the nehter fortress, after death after death, i was kinda scared to go there when i got my ps4 to play the versions after 1.13 (minecraft legacy stop updating in 1.13) but i found it very easy, just be careful in the corners and dont let a army of 20 blazes spawn and you will PROBABPY survive, also use toches for exploration and put lighting on 100 to see better the wither skeletons, and i also make a safe place with a 2 blocks height door, where blazes can enter but wither skeletons can't
Thank you for inspiring me to raid a nether fortress. You make such good videos. Sadly, I died and respawned at the world spawn point, but it is ok because I have to coordinates for my house.
Never... IN MY LIFE... HAVE I SEEN SUCH AN UNDERATED CHANNEL ON TH-cam. THIS CHANNEL TEACHES ME SO MUCH STUFF I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW! AND THE FACT THAT NOT EVEN THAT MUCH PEOPLE WHO WATCH ACTUALLY SUBSCRIBE! WHY WOULD SOMEONE COME HERE AND NOT SUBSCRIBE!? This... Makes me truly angry, but these videos make me truly happy.
4 years of playing minecraft and i never knew about this seed map thing up until now and i cant describe how much it helped me, very thanks bro and instant subbed👍
Oh, dude your videos have been so helpful and amazing like honestly, your doing a fantastic job and are absolutely amazing, you keep doing you, and just keep going
Awesome 👏. I just now tunneled my way to right outside my first fortress. I tried finding one on my own without commands and after making a 526 block long bridge and finding nothing (X positive axis), I said screw the achievements, I need potion materials lol... and found the closest one 350 blocks away on the Z axis 😆. I never would have found it without commands honestly. I'm right outside the actual fortress and just busted thru 1 block and can see a blaze spawner just ahead. I always thought Minecraft was a "little kids" game, but some of these mobs scare the 💩 out of this 50yr man lmao. Thank you so much for all the informative videos. I've only been playing Minecraft for about a month and am totally addicted lol.
that literally happened to me today with my friend. And yes, everything in the never makes you 💩your pants. And have you heard the noise soul sand makes when place it? It kind of sounds like a blaze behind you.
Wither Skeletons can be dealt with in a similar manner as endermen, they can't go through two-tall spaces. So, what I tend to do is place blocks on the ceiling at the ends of halls and covered intersections.
@@ohchip That's because you were in a walkway, not a hallway. Once you cross the lava well room, there's a few walkways that _look_ like they're proper rooms, but there's no roof. Skellies like to walk on the walls of those.
First time I spawned into the nether its right on top of a fortress 40 blocks from a blaze spawner. O.o I turned tail n ran back out to do some research so I dont die. LOL Thank you for the help.
After years of losing my good loot to the Nether, doing it the "proper way," my most recent playthrough I just accepted that death was inevitable and based my strategy off of that. I put my portal next to my strip mine and built cobblestone tunnels/highways everywhere I needed to go, with storage chests every so often. When I came up to a dangerous situation, I left my good stuff in the tunnels, took the disposable iron tools, and threw my walking corpse at the problem until it was solved. It worked out pretty well and I barely lost any loot.
If you hold an looting 3 sword in your offhand and kill with the bow in your main hand, the Effect will aply and you get more loot witch helps with the Skeletons.
I started a survival world today. I spawned near a ruined portal and there was 3 obsidian and a flint and steel, which is enough to go to the nether. After some exploring, I found a nether fortress. Blazes were so annoying, I basically ate every meat I had, when my whole food is gone, all I could do was to set my gamemode to peaceful. Hopefully with your video, I can raid a nether fortress!
Subbed. I knew most of this, but didn't know the wither skeletons needed 3 blocks to follow you. A good tip is to tell people to always bring stacks of blocks. You'll need to block off areas, make bridges to get over lava and other places, and block line of sight for ghasts. And normal stone or better have enough blast resistance where ghasts won't break them with their blasts.
Impeccable timing again! In my current world file I just built my first portal and it spawned me inside a fortress! Luckily I had built ahead of time switches to turn my portal on and off in the overworld (so baddies don't invade my home) but I also figured I should get some more info before diving right in lol!
Bruh, 3 nether fortresses, none have nether warts. What the heck is my luck 😐 Edit 1: I almost let Minecraft gaslight me into thinking that nether fortresses no longer spawned with nether warts. The secret is that you actually have to travel 1200 blocks away from your nether portal to find a fourth nether fortress which will actually have nether warts. /j
Not sure if this is a bedrock feature only or not because I play on java and have found a nether fortress a few hundred blocks away from my portal and it had a very good amount of nether warts but I believe I will be looking for another one since wither skeletons are pretty much non existent in that fortress
a tip i have is to only put torches on one side of walls. either works but i prefer putting them on the right. this way you can tell if you've already discovered an area or if you're back tracking.
I found that honey also stops the wither effect and it stacks. I did okay early game with Fire Prot iron armor and a Diamond Sword with Looting, Knockback, Smite IV, at least I didn't die anyway.
I've been playing Minecraft for a while now, but I've embarrassingly never beat the game on survival all by myself. (I prefer farming/exploring/trading in survival and creative mode, so it's not like I'm trying to beat the game.) The nether fortress is where i always hit a dead end, so tysm for this guide! Maybe I'll finally get blaze rods 😆
I started playing minecraft again after almost 8 years of not touching it. The never fortresses are much harder than I remember... it was a huge chore just to get nether wart.
Also worth noting about finding a nether fortrss in soul sand valley is that it can be a really good spot for making a wither skeleton farm. If you find one and it's in a soul sand valley, mark its coordinates.
blaze are fine to farm when youre picking them off one by one, but as soon as you take 5 seconds to eat a porkchop, another 3 spawn, and then all of a sudden youre running away from like 5 or 6 blaze, and then the exit is blocked by 2 wither skeletons who just pop into existence
I just pulled off my first nether fortress raid with this guide! I got 34 blaze rods! but the fortress was one of the rare spawns without an interior… Guess I’ll need to raid another for nether wart…
The thing that works for me is the sunflower strategy, usually if you place a sunflower in the Nether the direction its facing is usually the direction where most fortresses can be found. I don't know if it works for everyone but let me know.
Blazes once you have Fire Protection 4 and Some Protection 4 or has 2 Fire protection 4 pieces for better results makes the Blazes that set you on fire more manageable as usually the fire kills you, not the fireballs themselves. Wither Skeletons are the Fortresses most dangerous mobs as they deal large amount of damage and cause wither which blacks your heart making it impossible to see. Zombie Pigman also appear but they are uncommon but when combined with Wither Skeletons their wandering around can accidentaly lead them to be hit aggroing them. Magma Cubes outside of Basalt Delta are pretty rare and usually easy, their danger comes from quick contact damage meaning Magma Cubes can easily kill you if they get close. You can kite Blazes to fire the volley of 3 fireballs and then charge at them as they take some time to reignite for another volley.
Just subscribed, been watching your videos the past couple weeks and I thoroughly enjoy your guides! Very in depth and all the stuff you want to hear about when researching. I am super grateful! Keep up the awesome work!
I was trying to get nether wart for potions but I took all of them from the fortress and I may have died in the lava, accidentally dropping the nether wart in the lava lmbo. I need to find another fortress, but thank you!
I got really cool generation on my minecraft world. There is a soul sand valley biome and a crimson forest biome connected together and beneath that there is a nether fortress.
The whole reason I searched this video was because I found two nether fortresses and neither of them have had netherwart. So as for that small chance one can be spawned with no interior, so far it's 100% true for my world
Hi, i really like your content but i think a lot of people including me would like a hardcore/survival lets play it would be really entertaining and also informative for people.
i just got back into minecraft after years away and i'm trying to find a nether fortress. i finally get the obsidian to set up the portal, warp in, and get ganked by a bunch of red slimes in a basalt biome. it's been a bit of a nightmare and i'll be honest i may start fresh and look for a better seed lol it's been very frustrating to die before even being portaled in
Chunkbase is something I've never used in an actual survival world im playing. I have never failed to find a fortress by simply just searching around, so there was no need anyway.
I can't believe I've never thought of bringing Fire Res potions to the nether Fortress when I normally like trading with the nether villager because they don't have very good trades most of the time, to get Fire Res potions.
Nether fortress is so scary! lol I even went in with 8 mins of fire resistance and still had scary moments where I almost die. Wither skeles and magma cube combos are deadly. It's a big change cause any other time I never lose hearts to mobs so it's easy going on expecting to be fine. I didn't think lighting of the nether would matter. Gonna have to start going in with torches now
Great video. Are you planning to make a guide on looting bastions as well? I haven't found a detailed tutorial for non-speedrunners yet. I'm trying to make a video on looting the Treasure Room bastion myself, but there is a lot of information to go through and I'm afraid my guide wouldn't be good enough.
About the nether fortresses spawn areas, they can't actually generate in a basalt delta, but they might cross to it. So realistically, don't go through a basalt delta(especially if it's a big one) if you're trying to find a fortress.
Well, bastions only can't generate directly in a basalt delta as the terrain blocks get confused with the structure. Nether fortresses can spawn in basalt deltas
After dying repeatedly trying to find the "interior" of my first fortress, turns out it doesn't have one. Mine was set up exactly like your example with a walkway cutting right in front of the lava room. LUCKY ME I GET THE RARE USELESS ONE.
I have two extra tips: if you ran out of arrows and a skeleton is attacking you, use a zombified piglin as a shield since the skelleton will hit the zombified piglin it will attack the skeleton and kill it. Tip number two is that when you are fighting slimes or magma cubes you can kill the smallest ones with anything since they die with 1 hit so you don't have to use your sword, small slimes and magma cubes are numerous and you can waste the use of your sword/bow
Another tip, steal all the nether wart and soul sand so that you can make a convenient nether wart farm near your base. Can really come in handy if you have a nether wart trade with a discounted cleric villager.
I just jumped into the nether fortress in my hardcore world, and took a lot of damage right away. I then tried to dig down into the nether brick to block myself of and died immediately because I dug straight down and fell into lava
The Soul Sand Valley is no joke, my portal spawned me in one. The Mobs ! Sweet Baby Buddha ! They just don't stop. I've used the Tunnel Rat strategy to get around, found a Nether Fortress with everything I need like 40 blocks from spawn tho
You can make a copy of your world. And look for a nether fortress that way. Make it creative. I did it recently and they were in the same place. In the original and copy world. Don’t know how to raid it though.

Another strategy to looting nether fortresses: if you go into a hallway and arrive at a dead end, go back and block it off with any block so you won’t accidentally go to that dead end /no loot end again
I use Torches to mark points of interest like spawner ore corner on those blocks as well.
@@Jesus_Wojak I do torches on the right if I'm exploring deeper, torches on both sides/in the middle to show dead ends. Kinda expensive sometimes tho
@@tristqnejdjeh7278 i do double blocks for dead ends and a block with a torch on it for tunnels/ hallways of interest.

i needed this so much thank you!!
Np!
man! the tune of your voice is sooooo relaxing I can't stop watching your videos even though I don't play minecraft anymore.
I started a survival world today. I spawned near a ruined portal and there was 3 obsidian and a flint and steel, which is enough to go to the nether. After some exploring, I found a nether fortress. Blazes were so annoying, I basically ate every meat I had, when my whole food is gone, all I could do was to set my gamemode to peaceful. Hopefully with your video, I can raid a nether fortress!
You're supposed to gear up first too man
At last… the best nether guide on youtube.
Ps. Been waiting for this aha
As someone who always dies to blazes, this video was really helpful
Subbed. I knew most of this, but didn't know the wither skeletons needed 3 blocks to follow you. A good tip is to tell people to always bring stacks of blocks. You'll need to block off areas, make bridges to get over lava and other places, and block line of sight for ghasts. And normal stone or better have enough blast resistance where ghasts won't break them with their blasts.
What are the odds, I was about to plan a trip to find a nether fortress soon. Your videos are all out when I need them.
Perfect timing!
Same!
same lol
Impeccable timing again! In my current world file I just built my first portal and it spawned me inside a fortress! Luckily I had built ahead of time switches to turn my portal on and off in the overworld (so baddies don't invade my home) but I also figured I should get some more info before diving right in lol!
Also make sure to bring golden apples for emergency's if you cannot manage to get fire ressistance
Bruh, 3 nether fortresses, none have nether warts. What the heck is my luck 😐
Edit 1: I almost let Minecraft gaslight me into thinking that nether fortresses no longer spawned with nether warts. The secret is that you actually have to travel 1200 blocks away from your nether portal to find a fourth nether fortress which will actually have nether warts. /j
1200?? damn, the ones near me doesnt have any warts was wondering if I am playing in a bad seed
The one near me does have warts and it is 200 blocks away from portal.
U spawned next to a nether fortress and a bastion and the nether fortress didn’t have any warts but the bastion did
Not sure if this is a bedrock feature only or not because I play on java and have found a nether fortress a few hundred blocks away from my portal and it had a very good amount of nether warts but I believe I will be looking for another one since wither skeletons are pretty much non existent in that fortress
@@amrosman1186 was also playing Java, probably just bad RNG
a tip i have is to only put torches on one side of walls. either works but i prefer putting them on the right. this way you can tell if you've already discovered an area or if you're back tracking.
anyone else think his voice is relaxing?
Yes, he actually makes *watching* a fortress raid relaxing.
Bro am I the only one that hates it tho?! I was half asleep and trying to watch Minecraft tips videos but his video made me fall asleep
Awesome video! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for this!
You should get like 500x more subs than those clickbait channels.
I found that honey also stops the wither effect and it stacks. I did okay early game with Fire Prot iron armor and a Diamond Sword with Looting, Knockback, Smite IV, at least I didn't die anyway.
I've been playing Minecraft for a while now, but I've embarrassingly never beat the game on survival all by myself. (I prefer farming/exploring/trading in survival and creative mode, so it's not like I'm trying to beat the game.) The nether fortress is where i always hit a dead end, so tysm for this guide! Maybe I'll finally get blaze rods 😆
0:56 ain’t no way bro casually juked out the skeleton 💀
Fr😂
👩🏼🦰
Thanks man really helped me with my progression in the game
I started playing minecraft again after almost 8 years of not touching it. The never fortresses are much harder than I remember... it was a huge chore just to get nether wart.
Also worth noting about finding a nether fortrss in soul sand valley is that it can be a really good spot for making a wither skeleton farm. If you find one and it's in a soul sand valley, mark its coordinates.
blaze are fine to farm when youre picking them off one by one, but as soon as you take 5 seconds to eat a porkchop, another 3 spawn, and then all of a sudden youre running away from like 5 or 6 blaze, and then the exit is blocked by 2 wither skeletons who just pop into existence
I just pulled off my first nether fortress raid with this guide! I got 34 blaze rods! but the fortress was one of the rare spawns without an interior…
Guess I’ll need to raid another for nether wart…
The thing that works for me is the sunflower strategy, usually if you place a sunflower in the Nether the direction its facing is usually the direction where most fortresses can be found. I don't know if it works for everyone but let me know.
I absolutely love your guides! Keep ‘em coming for everything we should know and what you can think of! Thanks!!
Blazes once you have Fire Protection 4 and Some Protection 4 or has 2 Fire protection 4 pieces for better results makes the Blazes that set you on fire more manageable as usually the fire kills you, not the fireballs themselves.
Wither Skeletons are the Fortresses most dangerous mobs as they deal large amount of damage and cause wither which blacks your heart making it impossible to see.
Zombie Pigman also appear but they are uncommon but when combined with Wither Skeletons their wandering around can accidentaly lead them to be hit aggroing them.
Magma Cubes outside of Basalt Delta are pretty rare and usually easy, their danger comes from quick contact damage meaning Magma Cubes can easily kill you if they get close.
You can kite Blazes to fire the volley of 3 fireballs and then charge at them as they take some time to reignite for another volley.
Just subscribed, been watching your videos the past couple weeks and I thoroughly enjoy your guides! Very in depth and all the stuff you want to hear about when researching. I am super grateful! Keep up the awesome work!
I was excited as well as scared when I spawned in a fortress 😂. I stepped out and a blaze started attacking me it was just a complete panic situation
OOH thats why i keep dying in the nether fortress because its got more mobs thats good info
I was trying to get nether wart for potions but I took all of them from the fortress and I may have died in the lava, accidentally dropping the nether wart in the lava lmbo. I need to find another fortress, but thank you!
I got really cool generation on my minecraft world. There is a soul sand valley biome and a crimson forest biome connected together and beneath that there is a nether fortress.
The whole reason I searched this video was because I found two nether fortresses and neither of them have had netherwart. So as for that small chance one can be spawned with no interior, so far it's 100% true for my world
Hi, i really like your content but i think a lot of people including me would like a hardcore/survival lets play it would be really entertaining and also informative for people.
This is very helpful
i just got back into minecraft after years away and i'm trying to find a nether fortress. i finally get the obsidian to set up the portal, warp in, and get ganked by a bunch of red slimes in a basalt biome. it's been a bit of a nightmare and i'll be honest i may start fresh and look for a better seed lol it's been very frustrating to die before even being portaled in
Chunkbase is something I've never used in an actual survival world im playing.
I have never failed to find a fortress by simply just searching around, so there was no need anyway.
I actually want to find one on my own, will try these tips later, thx
Np!
I can't believe I've never thought of bringing Fire Res potions to the nether Fortress when I normally like trading with the nether villager because they don't have very good trades most of the time, to get Fire Res potions.
Nether fortress is so scary! lol I even went in with 8 mins of fire resistance and still had scary moments where I almost die. Wither skeles and magma cube combos are deadly. It's a big change cause any other time I never lose hearts to mobs so it's easy going on expecting to be fine.
I didn't think lighting of the nether would matter. Gonna have to start going in with torches now
Dude your videos are the best. Perfect and to the point.
the blazes can definitely still spawn with your glowstone setup. just use torches. much cheaper and easier.
I’d love it if u can could use a netherite ingot and some obsidian on a boat to make a nether boat that’s lava-proof
Yes, or even a boat made out warped or crimson wood.
That's what Mojang made striders for. So ...no lava boats.
Great video. Are you planning to make a guide on looting bastions as well? I haven't found a detailed tutorial for non-speedrunners yet. I'm trying to make a video on looting the Treasure Room bastion myself, but there is a lot of information to go through and I'm afraid my guide wouldn't be good enough.
You could stepup a dispensor with a clock circuit and tons of snow balls to get automatically kill the blaze
About the nether fortresses spawn areas, they can't actually generate in a basalt delta, but they might cross to it. So realistically, don't go through a basalt delta(especially if it's a big one) if you're trying to find a fortress.
Well, bastions only can't generate directly in a basalt delta as the terrain blocks get confused with the structure. Nether fortresses can spawn in basalt deltas
14:33 At first I was like “how is a glitched nether fortress cool?” And then I realized he was talking about the lava room😂
After dying repeatedly trying to find the "interior" of my first fortress, turns out it doesn't have one. Mine was set up exactly like your example with a walkway cutting right in front of the lava room. LUCKY ME I GET THE RARE USELESS ONE.
I have two extra tips: if you ran out of arrows and a skeleton is attacking you, use a zombified piglin as a shield since the skelleton will hit the zombified piglin it will attack the skeleton and kill it.
Tip number two is that when you are fighting slimes or magma cubes you can kill the smallest ones with anything since they die with 1 hit so you don't have to use your sword, small slimes and magma cubes are numerous and you can waste the use of your sword/bow
Another tip, steal all the nether wart and soul sand so that you can make a convenient nether wart farm near your base. Can really come in handy if you have a nether wart trade with a discounted cleric villager.
😭bro the mobs are not allowing me to get in the fortress
I just jumped into the nether fortress in my hardcore world, and took a lot of damage right away. I then tried to dig down into the nether brick to block myself of and died immediately because I dug straight down and fell into lava
6:43 "a bow can fully block the fire balls" xD
The Soul Sand Valley is no joke, my portal spawned me in one. The Mobs ! Sweet Baby Buddha ! They just don't stop. I've used the Tunnel Rat strategy to get around, found a Nether Fortress with everything I need like 40 blocks from spawn tho
Question do u think using snow golems is good
Thanks, man
You can make a copy of your world. And look for a nether fortress that way. Make it creative. I did it recently and they were in the same place. In the original and copy world. Don’t know how to raid it though.
"you wanna have a bow and the shield the bow can block attacks and the arrow can k!ll the blaze" wise words💀
Thanks for the video i have now gained more knowledge
Personally, I go positive x and negative z when trying to find a nether fortress. It works a lot of times!
