About Nether Fortresses
Nether Fortresses are large, imposing structures made primarily of Nether Bricks, found exclusively in the Nether dimension. They consist of bridges and corridors, often containing Blaze spawners and Nether Wart farms.
These fortresses are crucial for game progression as they are the only place to find Blazes (for Blaze Rods needed for brewing and finding Strongholds) and Wither Skeletons (for Wither Skeleton Skulls needed to summon the Wither boss).
This finder shows the bounding box coordinates where Nether Fortress structures are generated. The actual fortress layout within these boxes can vary.
