What is Nether Brick in Minecraft?

A nether brick is a single, dark reddish brown brick that you make from materials found in the Nether. It is important to know that this item is not a block you can place down. Instead, it is a crafting ingredient. Its main purpose is to be used to craft all the different kinds of nether brick blocks, like stairs, slabs, and fences. These are the same blocks that make up the huge Nether Fortresses. So, if you want to build your own spooky castle, you will need a lot of nether bricks.

How to get Nether Brick in Minecraft

The main way to get a nether brick is by smelting a block of netherrack in a furnace. Netherrack is the most common block in the Nether, the red rock that is everywhere. Just mine some netherrack with any pickaxe, bring it back to your base, and cook it in a furnace. Each block of netherrack will smelt into one nether brick item. You can also sometimes find nether bricks as loot inside the chests of Nether Fortresses. This can be a good way to get your first few without having to smelt them yourself.

How to use Nether Brick in Minecraft

The only use for a nether brick is crafting. You can combine four nether bricks in a 2x2 square in a crafting table to create one nether brick block. This block is great for building. You can then use these blocks to craft nether brick stairs, slabs, and walls. You can also craft a nether brick fence by arranging six nether brick items in two horizontal rows in a crafting table. You can also combine a nether brick with a nether wart to make a red nether brick block, which is a slightly different color.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
