Nether Fortresses are structures that are naturally generated in the Nether. They are bridge structures constructed of Nether Bricks, Nether Brick Fences, and Nether Brick Stairs. They are the only places where Nether Warts or Blaze spawners can be found. They are also the only place where either Blazes or Wither Skeletons can spawn.

Structure

Nether Fortresses are very large complexes made mainly of Nether Bricks. Nether Fortresses can tunnel through Netherrack, and the inside of the tunnels will be cleared of Netherrack by the terrain generator. However, at broken bridge sections, the terrain is not cleared, which may create a tunnel that leads straight into a wall of Netherrack. Their main structure takes a shape of bridges with supporting pillars outside and corridors inside, both which have 3-blocks wide walking space. The bridges can be broken at the end. The interior of the structures have 1x2 windows with Nether Brick Fences as the windowpanes. The fences also form gate-like structures at the entrances of some rooms and corridors. The rooms include:

  • Lava well rooms
  • Rooms with Nether Brick Stairs in the center and Soul Sand at sides of the stairway containing 2 2x5 rows of Nether Wart growing on it.
  • Rooms with Blaze spawners. Nether Brick Stairs can lead up to them. The rooms have Nether Brick Fences. There are normally 2 spawners per fortress
  • Rooms with four exits. Some of them could lead only to Netherrack.
  • Rooms with a "stairway" of Nether Brick placed against a wall, leading up to the floor above.

Spawning

Nether Fortresses may be spawned in inconvenient places, where half of or even the majority of the fortress is buried in Netherrack. The interior will not be filled, however; all hallways and passages will be clear except for open walkways and bridges. It is rare, but possible that Glowstone spawn inside of the fortress pathways.

Mobs

Nether fortresses spawn many of the rarer mobs of the Nether at a much higher rate, including Magma cubes. Nether fortresses also spawn many exclusive mobs which cannot be found anywhere else, which is one of the main reasons why people venture in the nether. These include: Blazes, Skeletons and Wither skeletons.

Blazes are desired because of their drop - blaze rods as well as the high amount of experience they give. Wither Skeletons are mostly desired for their Wither Skeleton Skulls, which help to create the Wither. Ultimately those who spawn the Wither are aiming to acquire the nether star which is used to construct the beacon.

The spawning algorithm checks if a chunk has a fortress within it. The algorithm then checks for the "bounding box" of the original fortress. It then allows mobs to spawn up to 7 blocks above the walkway, if there is a block beneath them. The entire width of Nether fortresses are taken into account, including junctions and special areas. Fortresses generated before 1.4 lost their bounding box when the fortress was unloaded for the first time due to a bug, and will not naturally spawn wither skeletons, skeletons, and blazes (apart from ones from spawners) after loading them again, even in newer versions that have fixed the bug

Any additions to fortresses will not spawn these rare mobs. Spawning is not affected by replacing the Nether brick with other materials.

'''Nether sprouts''' are a non-solid fungi block that generate in [[warped forest]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Nether sprouts generate in [[warped forest]] biomes.

=== Breaking ===
Nether sprouts can be mined instantly with any item. The block also breaks if the block below is removed, or if [[water]] flows into its space. The block only drops if broken with [[shear]]s.

=== Post-generation ===
Applying [[bone meal]] to warped [[nylium]] creates nether sprouts on that block and surrounding nylium, along with both types of [[roots]] and [[fungi]].

== Usage ==
[[File:RootsSproutsPlaceBlock.png|thumb|All of the blocks that nether sprouts can be placed on.]]
Nether sprouts can be planted on the same blocks that [[fungus|fungi]] and [[roots]] can be placed on: [[nylium]], [[soul soil]], [[Grass Block|grass]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[Moss Block|moss]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], and [[farmland]]. However, they cannot be planted in [[flower pot]]s.

=== Composting ===
Placing nether sprouts into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Trivia ==

* The stick is used in 49 recipes in ''Java Edition'', and 50 recipes in ''Bedrock Edition'', more than any other item in the game. [[Iron ingot]] takes second place with 35 recipes, and [[planks]] take third place with 34 recipes.
* To craft each recipe once, a player would need 111 sticks, including 1 for the [[redstone torch]] in an [[activator rail]], while using the extra tripwire hook for the [[crossbow]]. This would require 56 [[planks]], or 14 [[logs]], for the sticks, and an extra 29 planks for the [[tool|wooden tools]], [[tripwire hook]], [[signs]], [[fences]], [[fence gate]], [[grindstone]], and slabs for the [[barrel]]. This means that the player needs a total of 85 planks, or 22 logs, plus 6 more for the [[campfire]] and [[soul campfire]].

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.

=== Breaking ===

Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].

=== Trading ===

Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.

== Usage ==

Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.

When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.

Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).

=== Composting ===

Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Growth mechanics ===

Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.

Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.

Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0). 

When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.

Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.

If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}

=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

== Trivia ==
* In real life, [[wikipedia:kelp|kelp]] is not considered a [[wikipedia:plant|plant]]. It is classified by scientists as a [[wikipedia:Brown algae|brown algae]].
** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.

12w36aAdded Wither Skeletons and Skeletons naturally spawning in Nether Fortresses.

Trivia

  • Often, Nether Fortresses spawn with no Nether Wart gardens in them at all.
  • The interiors of Nether Fortresses are safe from Ghasts, because they are enclosed and are made out of materials that Ghast fireballs can not destroy. However, the bridges are open to the sky, as are many platforms.
  • Nether Fortresses use a separate list of spawnable mobs from the rest of the Nether. This allows Blazes to spawn naturally and makes Magma Cubes much more common. Ghasts are not allowed to spawn, preventing them from being trapped inside.
  • Nether Fortresses will still be generated even if the "Generated Structures" option is turned off.
  • Mushrooms can spawn in Nether Fortresses.
  • Skeletons can spawn in Nether Fortresses. When the game tries to spawn a Wither Skeleton it has a 20% chance of spawning as a skeleton instead.
  • Glowstone can spawn in the corridors of Nether Fortresses.
  • Nether Fortresses which spawn high above the lava oceans of the Nether can create huge walls of Nether Brick twice as tall as Overworld mountains.
  • Nether Fortresses tend to spawn in "strips" aligning along the Z axis (north/south) in the nether, making them easier to find after one has already been found by simply moving north or south, keeping the X coordinate steady. This is a good method to use if you are having trouble finding Nether Fortresses (Tested over 200 seeds so far, the trend is strong in all tested seeds (Confirmed with AMIDST).)
  • Sometimes, two or more Nether Fortresses can spawn very close or even within each other, ultimately creating an even larger cumulative Nether Fortress.
