How To Find A Crimson Forest In Minecraft

I mentioned the Under Update for Minecraft last week and expressed my desire to find some of the new stuff that came with it.

The problem is, as ever with new stuff in Minecraft, that y'all demand to spawn fresh chunks for the new stuff to announced. That means exploration, which ways some danger in the nether. As well, getting lost. Roaming effectually on the floor of the nether and trying to find your way can be difficult and disorienting. Lava and mad terrain and lurking threats keep you on your guard.

The safe path is to get up into the roof of the nether and tunnel. In our onetime earth nosotros ended up building a whole transport nexus in the roof of the nether, and in the new earth out under portals were shut enough to the roof that I went with that option.

Working in the roof is non without its challenges though. You lot become through a lot of picks. Your inventory fills up with netherrack. Subconscious pockets of lava tin surprise yous, and lava flows very fast in the nether. You lot also have to be careful to dig ahead. I accidentally dug straight down just one block only to find that there was simply one block between me and a long drop into the middle of a lava lake. Feel the fire.

And progress can exist both slow and difficult to measure. Every once in a while you demand to dig down plenty to run into if you've gotten close to anything you are seeking. This is when I fell into the lava lake. Eventually though, I poked through some netherrack and saw something new downwardly below.

First peek

It isn't easy to distinguish in the gloom of the nether, but that is one of the reddish forest biome mushrooms just down below. There is also the bridge/causeway system related to a nether fortress visible as well.

At present I just had to get at that place.

In Minecraft, every bit in the real globe, it is much easier to build up than down. I have not figured out how to build downwardly to something, and then my usual program is to jump downwardly and build upward. To practice that, I needed to find a place I could safely spring down. So I eyeballed a potential spot and started digging around in the roof trying to become over information technology so I could drop onto it.

A couple of tries led me to the correct spot and I jumped down onto 1 of the big fungi and so built some steps support into the roof. Then, using the fungi equally an ballast, I was able to go down onto some solid ground to complete the steps.

From at that place I started to explore a bit, and quickly got lost. I am sure the nighttime red on dark red with night scarlet highlights color scheme wasn't helping me. And, of course, I was on a high spot above a lava lake, so watching my step was kind of of import.

Looking down is always bad

I did grab some of the warped stalk blocks from the fungi, which is a form of woods which yous tin utilise to make some alarmingly ugly doors, among other things.

They need a black light block for those

I hadn't gone likewise far and managed to retrace my steps with the wood and some shroomlights, a new lite source that you can harvest in the biome. I ran those back to a breast I had up the tunnel a means, then went back downwardly to poke around some more.

There were Piglins most in groups. They seemed to respect the gold armor rule and but looked at me when I got shut.

Piglins off on some other platform

There were also hoglins, the pigs who now alive in the nether. They were not at all impressed by my gold helmet and proceeded to attack me. The little ones were non then bad. They run away when you whack them a good one, though y'all then have to chase them down to terminate them off.

The big boars though, they were a bit of a hazard. The charge and have some knock-back, which is just what you want when you're on a platform full of pitfalls over a lake of lava.

I was a bit surprised past the human relationship between the Piglin and hoglin though. I kind of expected them to exist partners together in the globe. Only and so I saw a group of Piglin chasing a hoglin around and found of different.

Piglins eat hoglin for dinner I guess

I once over again got turned effectually and ended up fairly far away from my one landmark, the steps coming downward out of the nether roof, which was hard to spot amid the towering fungi.

Off in the altitude I think I see them

I tried to advisedly make my fashion back towards them, vowing to make some sort of more obvious marker and path to guide me. At 1 signal I was near the border of one platform when something whacked me from behind, sending me flight off and down.

The drop wasn't too far. I had been at full health and nevertheless had two hearts left. I looked around to try and get my bearings when I saw a Piglin coming down the slope and straight towards me, gold sword in mitt. He killed me.

Another death in the nether

I am not sure what I did to aggravate him, simply he was conspicuously afterward me and the golden helmet wasn't convincing him of anything. Still, I had found at least one of the new biomes the update brought to the nether.

I still demand to find Soul Sand Valley, a Warped Woods, and a Basalt Delta, plus some of the other new things. That probably ways dorsum into the roof, though first I have to become back to base for some fresh equipment. I had barely put whatsoever vesture on that diamond sword I had with me.
