FIGURE 12.4 Once lit, the frame stays that way unless hit by a ghast's fireball, but you
only need to worry about that with the companion frame in The Nether.
3. Okay, take a last long look at The Overworld and hope that you won't see it for a
while because that probably just means you respawned. Now, jump into that
frame!
4. Minecraft may need to download some terrain files the first time you travel
through the portal. Wait until you see a wavy animation that covers the whole
screen, then step through the portal to enter The Nether.
Now that you're here, you've got some work to do. Remember, your main goal is to find a
nether fortress.
The Nether has some very extreme terrain, so you may need to make use of any of the fol-
lowing techniques:
Dig tunnels and stairs by mining the netherrack with your pickaxe to move up and
down cliffs. Fortunately, netherrack breaks extremely fast so it's easy to get
around.
Remember to place torches or Jack o'Lanterns as you go, always ensuring you can
see the last one placed from the next position. If you do become hopelessly lost,
consider building another portal to take you back to The Overworld. You may pop
up quite some distance away as every block traveled in The Nether is the equival-
ent of eight blocks traveled in The Overworld.
