How to Find a Nether Fortress in Minecraft Bedrock (2022)

In Minecraft Bedrock, players can search the haunting Nether Fortress for various loot and special dangerous mobs.

To finish the Minecraft game, finding and exploring the Nether Fortress becomes essential. This fortress has been in Minecraft Bedrock since the very beginning and is home to Wither Skeletons and Blazes, which can only spawn in the fortress.

Finding one of these Nether Fortresses is very important because without it players will not be able to complete the game. Here are some ways to find a Nether Fortress in Minecraft Bedrock.


How to Find a Nether Fortress in Minecraft Bedrock

Although Nether Fortress spawns randomly in the Nether, there are a few tips to keep in mind when looking for them.

Increase render distance

It’s not a clear solution to finding the Nether Fortress, but it will definitely help players spot one quickly. In Minecraft Bedrock, players can access video settings and increase render distance to load more blocks. This will help players see much farther and easily spot the Nether Fortress.

Players can walk past a Nether Fortress without noticing simply because their render distance isn’t high enough. By increasing it, they can find the Nether Fortress faster.


Head to the positive X axis

Another way to quickly find Nether Fortress in Minecraft is to move to the positive X axis. Minecraft Bedrock players can enable Coordinates from Settings to view Coordinates at any time.

Nether Fortress is more likely to spawn in the positive quadrants of a Minecraft world, i.e. positive X-axis (north) or positive Z-axis (east).

Players can also look out through the fortress bridges that protrude above the lava lakes. These bridges can lead players directly to a Nether Fortress.


The reason Nether Fortress is necessary to find is because it is home to Blaze mobs. Blazes will drop Blaze Rods upon death, which will then be used to craft the Eye of Ender. Therefore, many Minecraft Bedrock players will try to find them after entering the Nether realm.
