Minecraft - Brewing and Enchanting Part 3

Part 3 here and an introduction to brewing. Potions can be very powerful I personally like the potion of fire resistance as I used one of these in a game session on oldgamerz once and climbed up a lava stream and made away with a ton of goodies!

First things first you will need a brewing stand. To craft one you will need some cobblestone and a blaze rod. Blaze rods can be found in the nether and are dropped when you kill a blaze. If you have already been following and have made yourself an enchantment table you will already have a diamond pick axe and have found a lava source. You will need to make a nether portal from obsidian. Make sure that you have a couple of iron swords and plenty of food to keep your hunger bar up.

Once you have ventured into the nether you will be looking for a nether fortress they aren't hard to miss and can be quite vast. If you explore this for a while you are sure to bump into a blaze spawner as pictured below they are quite strong so try and make sure you have a corner that you can run back around. Once you have a couple of blaze rods you can return back to the overworld try and make sure you leave a sensible path back as you will need to return to the fortress to gather brewing ingredients.
