Quick answer: Build, light and enter a Nether Portal

Previous advancement: Ice Bucket Challenge

How to get We Need to Go Deeper

  1. Build a nether portal frame: an upright obsidian rectangle at least 4 blocks wide and 5 tall on the outside. That takes 14 blocks, or just 10 if you leave the corners empty.
  2. Light it: flint and steel is the standard way, but a fire charge or even fire spreading from lava and wood works too.
  3. Step into the purple portal blocks and stand still for a few seconds.
  4. When you arrive in the Nether, the advancement completes.

Tips

Ruined portals in the Overworld can be repaired: their own chests often hold obsidian, a flint and steel, or even gold. Always carry a spare flint and steel in the Nether, because a ghast fireball can shut your portal down.
