Ruined Portal
Overworld & Nether
How to find it

- Surrounded by netherrack; underground, on the surface or on the ocean floor depending on biome
- /locate structure minecraft:ruined_portal
Loot
- A chest with gold items and portal-building items such as obsidian and flint and steel (in Java it may be replaced by terrain, often lava)
- Blocks of gold next to the frame in most variants
Dangers
- Portals can sit over lava
- Frames may contain crying obsidian, which cannot activate a Nether portal
Tips
- 13 variants: 10 normal and 3 giant portals.
- You may need to supply missing obsidian yourself. Source: minecraft.wiki Ruined Portal.
