Minecraft, The Nether

Minecraft, The Nether

This tutorial will teach you how to get to and what to look for in the Nether.

This is a Nether portal. It is made out of obsidian (Obsidian is found in caves underneath the ground however you need a diamond pick to mine it.)

You activate the Nether portal you need to right click the portal with a flint & steel or a fire-charge. Then just walk through to get to the Nether.

Welcome to the Nether time to start exploring.

The Blocks And Terrain

Time to explore the blocks and terrain within the Nether.

Quartz ore can be found in the Nether. If you break quartz ore you get a piece of quartz and Xp.

Lava is everywhere in the Nether its found just as frequently as water in the normal world.

Glow-stone and gravel are found in the nether too.

Mushrooms are also found in the Nether.

This is soulsand. Soul-sand is used to grow nether-wart on.

There are caves within the nether much like the normal world which have lava in them.

Nether Fortresses

Nether fortresses are the only generated structures within the Nether and they contain many interesting things.

You can find chests within the nether fortresses.

You can find Nether wart in the fortresses which can be used to make potions.

The Monsters

This doesn't show all mobs just the most dangerous ones.

Blazes spawn in nether-fortresses and they drop blaze rods when killed.

Zombie pig-men aren't hosetile however if you punch one they instantly become hostile.

Ghasts are flying mobs which shoot exploding balls. When killed they will drop gunpowder and possibly a ghast tear which can make regeneration potions.

Minecraft, Getting Villagers.

Minecraft, Getting Villagers

Dig a 2 deep hole like so about 5x5 should do. 

Now place a ladder on the higher grass block. The player can jump out but the zombie villagers AI means it doesn't realize it has to jump first.

Now i will go into survival and demonstrate this as i need to lure zombies.

The zombies will start attacking you and following you.

Now i have a zombie villager following me. This is what you need (Try and shoot a couple zombies before you get back to your hole)

Now jump in the hole wait a few seconds and then climb out. There will be a few zombies in the hole. Now kill the regular zombies and leave only 1 zombie villager.

Now you want to put a roof on it because otherwise it may burn or it will turn into a regular villager and a zombie will get it.

Now throw a splash potion of weakness at it and then right click it with a golden apple.

Now leave your villager for about 15 minutes. (Note: Do NOT leave the area before the villager converts otherwise the zombie will despawn and you will have to start over)

(The end product!)

So thats how to get a villager in minecraft. If you repeat this process twice and get 2 villagers you can get your own villager & or Iron farm (Heres how : http://thenextcraft.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/villiager-breeding-today-im-going-to.html ).
