With each swing, I knew one wrong move could push me into lava, ending my mission. When I finally spotted a small shiny black obsidian patch after hours of searching, I felt extremely happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My diamond pick slowly chipped away the tough obsidian, collecting several precious blocks needed for my gateway. But gathering ten obsidian blocks felt endless. During the tiring mining, I had to stay focused on my goal of entering the Nether to stay determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constructing the Frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With obsidian finally in hand after the long process, I quickly constructed a crafting table from basic wood planks and began building. I carefully counted ten obsidian blocks total, the exact amount my research showed was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nether portal construction\" class=\"wp-image-2501\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_construction.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had earlier studied the portal construction closely, so I assembled the blocks in the correct upright pattern with corners. Double-checking that my emerging <a href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.fandom.com\/wiki\/Obsidian\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">obsidian<\/a> gateway precisely matched the portal I have seen elsewhere during research was intense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No detail was overlooked as I concentrated on constructing the gateway. I verified the base was completely level, and both sides were perfectly symmetrical. After so much tiring obsidian mining, this satisfying moment creating my dimensional portal by hand made it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighting the Portal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the final obsidian block placed, the frame was finished. The big moment I had waited for had come &#8211; lighting the portal to activate it! I carefully struck flint and steel directly on the bottom frame block. The portal\u2019s bright surface suddenly flashed and came alive! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nether portal activated\" class=\"wp-image-2500\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portal_activation.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I leapt back, shocked as the gateway glowed and hummed loudly now. My heart pounded realizing I had built a real portal to another world! After recovering from the surprise, I approached to examine the activated gateway I had successfully built piece-by-piece myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I now had access to the mythical Nether! Visions filled my mind of the amazing adventures likely awaiting me in this newly opened dimension. All the tiring mining and building work had been completely worthwhile for this unbelievable moment. I could barely wait to finally venture through!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Constructing my first fully working obsidian portal to the Nether was a major accomplishment, needing days of tough mining just to harvest enough frame blocks. The tedious process definitely frustrated me sometimes. But when I sparked those obsidian blocks to life with that vivid swirling bright gateway for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"conclusion entry to nether\" class=\"wp-image-2498\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ultraservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/conclusion-2.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> It instantly made all my hard efforts worthwhile.
