The Nether is incredibly dangerous, especially for new players. Consider setting the game difficulty to “Peaceful” while in the Nether to avoid dying until you want Ghast tears, Magma cream, Blaze rods and Blaze Powder.
Nether Wart: A mushroom-like item found on the ground in Nether fortresses. It grows on soul sand. (Can be found in Nether Fortress or Bastion Remnant as of 1. 16) Blaze Rods: Blazes drop blaze rods when killed. You will need to bump the difficulty up to ‘Easy’ for Blazes to spawn. (Save some for crafting some Eyes of Ender later on) Soul Sand: If you wish to grow more Nether Wart in the Overworld, you can grab some of these brown blocks that look like they have faces trapped inside. (Not to be confused with Soul soil. )
