Top 10 things you didn't know about the Nether in Minecraft

This is where many powerful enemies appear and all around is scary lava. It won't be easy to pass this place if you don't have a lot of knowledge about it.

As you know, after creating the Nether Gate and entering it, you will be led to another vast, but much more dangerous world – the Nether. This land is shaped like a pixel hell in Minecraft, very few adventurers dare to venture through. Such a place will certainly have the facts and experiences that you need to study to master it. The list below will talk about some things that you did not know about the Nether.

#10 Ghast can reactivate the Nether portal

What if the Nether portal had somehow stopped working in the Nether and was no longer connected to the outside world. Simply lure a fire-breathing Ghast towards the broken portal.

The explosion from its fireball will reactivate the Nether portal, giving you the ability to return to the normal world.

#9 Create green fire

A normal flame is yellow, but in the latest updates of Minecraft, you can create blue flames.

First, you need to find and exploit Soul sand or Soul soil, which often has red mushrooms growing on it. Then you just need to use ignition and right click on the sand or soul earth and the blue flame will appear. This flame will burn indefinitely and you don't have to worry about the fire going out.

#8 Walk fast on the Sand of Souls

Soul sand is a common material in the Nether and you will probably have to interact with it a lot, but the problem is that when walking on it, you will be slowed down a lot. Previously there was nothing you could do to increase speed, but Mojang has added a new enchantment called Soul Speed ​​that allows you to traverse soul sand and soul soil at normal speed. This enchantment is applied on your shoe, but you can only get it by trading with Piglins. Of course, it also has the disadvantage of making your shoes break down faster.

#7 Talk to Piglin

Piglin is a new mob in the Nether that is similar in appearance to Pigmen but they are much more 'pleasant' than Pigmen. Piglin has a deep love for gold and will attack if you are not wearing Gold Armor. Therefore, you simply need to equip at least one piece of Gold Armor and be able to trade with them in a friendly manner.

Trade with Piglin the same way you would with a Villager, only the items traded will be of high value and use gold as the intermediary. Remember the Gold Bar is the only thing that can be traded with Piglin.

#6 Nether Inspiration

Before Minecraft's Alpha phase, there was an 'infdev' phase - short for 'infinite development'. Although the game in this mode has a much simpler and rudimentary appearance than Minecraft today, there is an interesting feature that players love is choosing thematic map. There's a sort of theme where the water is replaced by lava and the sky is darker, with strange clouds flying overhead. This is the inspiration for the developer to create Nether.

#5 Lava flows faster and spreads more widely in the Nether

We're not too surprised that lava and fire tend to thrive in a Hell-like space. But how are they likely to develop specifically?

Firstly, lava moves faster in the Nether than in the regular world – 6 times faster, specifically. Not only that, it also flows farther and covers more area when spreading on the ground. Coverage is 8 blocks from the center, double the 4 blocks in the normal world.

#4 Pigmen have the ability to spawn near the Nether Gate

Go back to the portal that brought you to the Nether – if there are a bunch of Pigmen spawned in this location in the Nether they will probably spawn in the normal world. The odds of this happening are not much, and it depends on the difficulty. But if you are unlucky, it will happen more often.

#3 Time and space in the Nether work separately

If you think that time and space in the Nether have similarities with the ground, you are wrong. In fact, the distance traveled by the normal world was scaled down to a ratio of 8:1. This means that moving one block in the Nether is equivalent to 8 blocks on the ground.

Distance is also not the only factor dictated when compared to the ground. The passage of time in the normal world will stop when you enter the Nether.

#2 Sleeping in bed can make you explode

Never think that you will have peaceful moments in a chaotic world like the Nether. Minecraft defines this very clearly when always creating difficulties for you. If you lay out a bed and lie on it, instead of going to sleep the bed will explode, and without a thick armor, you will lose your life.

#1 Interesting additions sung

Piglins are not a new member of the Nether. There are also Striders, immune to lava and fire damage, and tusks with tusks to knock enemies into the air. If you're clever enough, you can take advantage of Strider to move through pools of burning lava.

There are a number of new materials and minerals – such as sturdy Netherite ingots that can be used as weapons.

And above are interesting things that you may not know when exploring the Nether. The above insights will help you master and exploit this harsh world better. Wish you happy gaming!
