To light an Aether portal, the first thing you need to do is gather the necessary materials. Unlike Nether portals, which require Flint and Steel, Aether portals are activated using a Bucket of Water. So make sure you have a Bucket and a water source nearby.
Once you have the Bucket of Water, it’s time to start building the portal frame. The frame of an Aether portal is made using Glowstone blocks instead of the dark Obsidian blocks used for Nether portals. Glowstone is a bright, luminescent block found in the Nether, which emits a soft, golden glow. It’s commonly used for lighting purposes and as a decorative block.
To build the Aether portal frame, you’ll need a total of 10 Glowstone blocks. Arrange them in a rectangular shape, similar to how you would build a Nether portal. The frame should be 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks tall, with the corners missing.
Once the frame is complete, it’s time to activate the portal. Take your Bucket of Water and pour it into the bottom center block of the portal frame. Just like with Flint and Steel for Nether portals, the water acts as the ignition source for the Aether portal.
As soon as the water touches the Glowstone block, the portal will activate. You’ll see a swirling animation of particles and a bright, ethereal gateway will appear in the center of the frame. Congratulations, you’ve successfully lit the Aether portal!
It’s important to note that activating the portal is just the first step. To actually enter the Aether, you’ll need to step into the portal. However, before doing so, it’s a good idea to prepare yourself with the necessary gear and supplies. The Aether is a unique dimension with its own set of challenges and creatures, so being prepared is key to a successful adventure.
Lighting an Aether portal involves building a frame using Glowstone blocks and activating it by pouring a Bucket of Water into the bottom center block. It’s a simple process that opens up a whole new dimension of exploration and adventure. So go ahead, venture into the Aether and see what wonders await you!
