Nether
The Nether is one of three dimensions in Mine Blocks (the other two being the Overworld and the End).
General
In order to enter, the player must build and activate a portal, this portal is created with portal stone. Any player who dies in the Nether will appear in Overworld, and lost items will remain where the death occurred. Visiting the Nether and killing Blazes is required to find and unlock the portal to The End. Water will evaporate if placed.
Enviroment
The Nether is a dimension that resembles hell itself. The size of the dimension is 1000 x 120; it's main color is red due to the main use of the netherrack and the background. Lava can be found in abundance as well as fire appearing on netherrack or flamable blocks. There is no day cycle and the player can't sleep, making the clock, compass and beds useless in this dimension.
Contents
This Nether consists mainly of netherrack, and contains as well obsidian, bone blocks, lava and glowstone. The mobs that spawn in this dimension are nethereyes, blazes, magma cubes, endermen, ghasts and zombie pigmen.
Accessing
Nether portals are made by placing 6 portal stone in a U shape: 4 blocks in a horizontal row, with 2 blocks on top of each end, then setting one of the two center blocks on fire using flint and steel. Once activated, spinning portal blocks will appear in the center, and you may hear ambient portal sounds.
