    WITHOUT SPOILERS PLS;

    I like to play minecraft without the wiki or looking up game mechanics. Is there any reasonable way I could organically encounter this dimension within normal gameplay? Or should I look up how it works?

      No way to tell until the update drops I imagine, but the nether and the wither can be organically encountered/spawned (ruined portals and a specific painting) so I think there’s a pretty good chance

      It’ll show up in Minecraft Dungeons 2. The dimension itself won’t come out in Minecraft until next year.

      I feel the advancement tab is decent for finding stuff without leaving the game. It’s still looking up hints, just ingame. I’d love for them to add readable books in ancient ruins to give you hints instead. Idk how they’ll give hints for this tho

        I dunno, my 35 year old sister in law just started playing she still hasn’t discovered that the nether exists, and hasn’t done any enchanting after 3 weeks. Some lore or even a handbook would probably help a lot.

          I played it for even longer and still don’t know how to enter the nether. I want to find it out by myself but there don’t seem to be a lot of clues

            The clues are in the spots where you get the chests and it’s surrounded by spots of lava, stone and obsidian.

            I swear, you guys are incurious. You want EVERYTHING handed to you when wikis exist that tell you. No, you just want it right infront of your screen. Freaking ludicrous.

              I’d argue reading about those things in a wiki is the same a using a strategy guide. THERE you get everything handed on a platter, I contrast to finding out game mechanics by yourself

            I don’t want to spoil this rare quest you elected to take on. But you should’ve seen those obsidian structures surrounded by lava and magma. I would inspect those.

            The game gives you no hints. It expects you to know, just like games don’t really instruct on how to use the joystick.

              I will check it out! Good thing I have heaps of diamond items because I was basically just mining, building houses and trying to map the world haha

                You might need three diamonds (or, if you’re feeling adventurous, two buckets) to do something and make these structures operational :)

                And after you learn it, you can make yours.
