This guide is intended for people who have travelled to the Nether, thus already know how to make Flint and Steel and Pickaxes. This guide is also set on Normal difficulty setting.

Introduction
You are already a fairly experienced player. You have mastered the diamond pickaxe and Obsidian. Your portal brings you to a freakish flame world with angry Ghasts and mysterious Zombie Pigmen. Now, this horrible world, is it habitable? The elements are there: Ground, Liquid and light, and they are all at your disposal. Yes, a few items may have to be brought in, but The Nether is a surprisingly fun world to live in for Hardcore adventurers.

What to bring

 * 2 Chest blocks to make a large chest (to store items)
 * Optional: A strong building material such as Stone or Obsidian (for ground and partially walls)
 * Saplings
 * Cactuses
 * 1 stack of sand
 * Plenty of torches
 * Optional: Instead of torches bring lots of Flint and Steels
 * 10 Buckets
 * About 5 pickaxes (a stone one is alright, however iron or diamond is quicker [you may want to use iron instead of diamond may be a vaulable to you] )
 * Huge supply of cobblestone
 * About 1 stack of wood blocks, more will be made in The Nether
 * Optional: Bow and Arrows (for Ghast fighting)
 * Optional: TNT (useful for smashing through Netherrack)
 * Iron or Diamond Sword
 * Crafting Table
 * Optional: Armor, preferably Iron or better (protection from Zombie Pigmen and Ghasts)

Hacking

 * You may wish to hack in wolves, as these help a lot when hunting Zombie Pigmen.

This page in a nutshell

 * First you will build a house of Netherrack and Stone/Obsidian if you have any.
 * Then you will begin on a farm, making trees and cactuses.
 * You can now harvest trees for wood and cactuses for a defensive fence.
 * You will now make hunting camps and overhanging buildings.
