	To access the Nether, the [[Minecraft:player]] must construct a [[Minecraft:Nether portal]] in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] (portals created in [[Minecraft:the End]] do not activate). To create the portal, the player must first build a rectangular [[Minecraft:obsidian]] frame, ranging in size from a minimum of 4 blocks × 5 blocks to a maximum of 23 blocks × 23 blocks. Once the frame is completed, it can then be activated by placing [[Minecraft:fire]] within the frame, using [[Minecraft:flint and steel]], [[Minecraft:fire charge]], [[Minecraft:dispenser]]s, or any material that is capable of igniting fire.

In [[Minecraft:Survival]], the player must stand in a Nether portal for 4 seconds to enter the Nether. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. The portal plays a sound effect while the player is inside it. If there is no corresponding portal, a new 4×5 portal is created. The portal can be destroyed by breaking the obsidian frame, by a nearby explosion, or by placing [[Minecraft:water]] in the Overworld or [[Minecraft:lava]] into it with a [[Minecraft:bucket]] or [[Minecraft:dispenser]]. Any of the [[Minecraft:block]]s in the corners can be destroyed without destroying the portal.

	The warped forest consists of many [[Minecraft:Huge warped fungus\|huge warped fungi]], which act as the "trees" of this biome. The huge fungi often generate with [[Minecraft:Shroomlight\|shroomlights]], which ~~light up~~ the landscape. [[Minecraft:Twisting Vines\|Twisting vines]] grow throughout the biome in patches. The floor is mostly covered with warped [[Minecraft:nylium]], with occasional patches of bare [[Minecraft:netherrack]] or [[Minecraft:warped wart block]]s. [[Minecraft:Warped Roots\|Warped roots]], [[Minecraft:warped fungus]], [[Minecraft:Nether Sprouts\|nether sprouts]], and occasionally crimson fungus grow on the ground.

	A ~~gray~~ biome, the basalt deltas are said to be the remnant of ancient volcanic eruptions. The ground consists of [[Minecraft:basalt]] and [[Minecraft:blackstone]] blocks, with small patches of [[Minecraft:netherrack]] and pools of [[Minecraft:lava]]. The shape of the terrain is chaotic and uneven, making it somewhat difficult to traverse and build on. Unlike the other biomes in the Nether, [[Minecraft:bastion remnant]]s do not generate in basalt deltas. When this biome borders a lava ocean, clusters of basalt form near the coast. Fog is colored light-gray and particles of dust can be seen falling from the ceiling upon entry.		A grey biome in colour, the basalt deltas are said to be the remnant of ancient volcanic eruptions.

	Magma cubes have a high spawn rate in this biome, making the basalt deltas the best place to [[Minecraft:Tutorial:Magma Cube farming\|farm magma cream]], and ghasts are also common. This biome also contains a much higher abundance of blackstone compared to other Nether biomes.
