Use a fire charge to light the portal
Yes and no. Yes, you can go to a poor excuse for the nether and no you cant go to the real nether. The poor excuse is the nether reactor. It basically puts netherrack around you and spawns LOTS of free items -__- Just break one block of the netherrack and you are outside in the same world. Pathetic i know. Hopefully they add the real nether
All you need is obsidion and flint and steel.Form the obsidion five blocks tall and four blocks wide.It should look like a rectangle.After that light the obsidion on fire and the nether portal will apear.If the portal does not show up then you did something wrong.
In order to make it you need 4 gold blocks (36 gold ingots) Three diamonds and 6 iron ingots (nether core reactor) and 12 cobblestone.
You put 5x4 blocks of Obsidian and light it with flint and steel. it should turn purple. if not, destroy it, rebuild it, and then light it again. if that does not work restart your minecraft game.
The nether portal should be 5 blocks high, and 4 blocks wide. Building the portal should leave a 3x2 space in the middle. You could also take out the obsidian in the corners. The portal will still work. Then, light the 3x2 space with flint and steel. If the portal goes up in flames, then that means you didn't do it right. If the middle turns purple, then you did it right.
You do not need to mod it, all you have to do is place obsidian blocks like this [][][][] []////[] []////[] []////[] [][][][] []=obsidian /=empty space and then use a flint/steel to light the middle and BOOM there you have it
If you can get a block next to the portal to light on fire somehow then the fire will go into the portal and light it. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you how to light the other block. I forgot how to do it.
Fire Charges are items that produce fire. If you have one in hand and press the right mouse button, you'll produce fire - this can light a Nether Portal. The best use for them though is to put them in a Dispener as part of a trap, activating the Dispenser will make it throw a fireball.
Using obsidian (The dark purple block [Created by having water hit a lava SPRING]) create a Frame Like this, where O is Obsidian, and A is air OOOO OAAO OAAO OOOO Then, using flint and steel, light fire to the inside of the frame, and it will light up and purple blocks will appear, stand inside the portal, and you will be taken to the nether.
Place obsidian in the world like this: (O=Obsidian)OOOOO OO OO OOOOOThen light the top of one of the bottom blocks (in bold) on fire with flint and steel.
Obsidian is found in really deep creeper caves with magma and water. Magma + Water = Obsidian You need a 3x5 rectangle of obsidian and light it with flint and stone.
