You go through a portal to get to the nether. Hopefully drew's new map will pinpoint the nether gates/portals. The nether is scary and full of lava, there's various new blocks there too. No mobs.
The nether transport works based on the fact the nether is smaller so if you travel across the nether it's like travelling further in the normal world (can't remember the factor, on my phone) so if you go into the nether and leave via a appropriate portal it'll send you much further across the normal map. Someone will no doubt explain this better. |
