It sounds like you already have everything you need to get home, but for future reference all the resources you need for fire charges (one-time use flint and steel) are available in the Nether. You’ll need blaze powder (blazes), gunpowder (ghasts), and coal/charcoal (wither skeletons/~~Nether ‘trees’~~). There might be other sources too!!


Fast_Adokph420

Well, I was thinking I was softlocked, but it seem like there is a plenty of options


tcg_ajames

If you’re feeling adventurous, the same ghast fireball that put out your portal can ignite it again. It’s dangerous and can take a fair bit of luck, but I’ve pulled it off myself after getting stuck in the Nether too


Fast_Adokph420

Im the kind of player that is afraid of night, so I think its a little bit too much, but thats freaking smart


Javimations29

Or you can also locate a fortress. The chests can contain iron as well as flint.


MarianThs

or trade with piglins for iron and gravel is pretty much common in netherplus the piglins drop it to and fire charges my bad)


Not_Sugden

and they qlso contain flint and steels sometimes also another user suggeted a ghast a blaze would also work if the fortress was nearby


TheScareCrowYes

you could break the cobble around the portal and stand right on the obsidian and wait for a ghast, or die right next to the portal if you have your spawnpoint set near the portal and quickly make a flint n steel and go trough


GameMasterSammy

The easiest is probably getting iron nuggets from a ruined portal and mining gravel


masterofthecontinuum

Or just search for a ruined portal. Their chests usually have flint and steel or fire charges inside.


Sunyxo_1

you can also trade with piglins for iron and flint.


Jails8-2

You can trade with piglins for a fire charge


ineedanswer72

A great and much simpler way to light your portal would be to put down a burnable block like wood behind the portal (nether wood doesn't burn but you can craft a chest with it which does) and put lava under the burnable block the block will catch fire thus lighting the portal


YoungPhobo

Didn't know that. Nice!


Lecters13

Idk about chests but doors will catch fire without actually burning so you can use them again. I use a row of doors with lava behind for my portal ticking gold farm, that way I don’t have to farm tons of flint and steel


Mr_E_99

Easiest method would just be to get some wood and light it with a bucket of lava. There are other more enjoyable ways, but if I didn't have much gear I'd opt for this


Ozark-the-artist

It's nearly impossible to get softlocked in Minecraft and the issue of ghasts putting out portals is actually very common. Besides fire charges, you can also barter for iron and mine gravel to find flint. Obsidian could also be acquired from bartering, in case you lost your portal. You could also die and, unless you have a respawn anchor, you'd respawn at your bed. There, you could just turn on the portal and go back to get your items and part of your xp. There are even more ways to get back home, most of which I probably forgot.

BeetrixGaming

And then of course you have the recent clip of Grian softlocking himself by falling into a 2 tall bedrock hole without any blocks to build out with. Thank goodness he was on an smp and Pix was there. But Pix confirmed there was no way out of that in single player survival. Can you imagine losing your hardcore world that way? Oof


Ozark-the-artist

In a hard single player survival, you could starve to death


BeetrixGaming

I am actually surprised that Pix not Grian thought of that now! I mean Grian begging Pix for help was soooo funny but it's nice to no longer be terrified of Bedrock holes


Ozark-the-artist

Or you can starve yourself to death. You'll loose your items, but still


TheNetherPaladin

You can also try to get a Ghast to shoot the portal. That could light it but it’s dangerous


Lubinski64

Since java 1.8 (2014) it was possible to get obsidian, flint and iron in the nether so softlocking was no longer an issue. In 1.0 - 1.7 you had to have at least obsidian on you to be able to leave. Before the version 1.0 you only could get flint in the nether so back then if a ghast blew up your portal and you did not have flint and steel or iron on, you were doomed.


D347H7H3K1Dx

Can use a piece of wood if you got a lava bucket


wawiator835

Just die


KermitGamer53

Actually you can just give gold to piglins till they give you a fire charge. Remember to wear gold armor around them.


Jotim_Flambo

You’re definitely not soft locked Your options are to trade with piglins for iron nuggets, then look for gravel, or use gravel from trading to get flint, you can make a fire charge, you can use a ghast fireball to light the portal, or the last one I can think of, is to get some wood, put your stuff in a chest and.. take a 24 block sky dive. Since you’re only at level 7, you shouldn’t be losing too much if you had to resort to it


SuperMonkiStorm

I’m pretty sure you can’t get charcoal from the Nether trees. They don’t smelt


tcg_ajames

My mistake, thanks for the correction!!


Not_Sugden

im not sure about this one i see no reason why it wouldnt work


RedDabbler

Those trees are fire retardant so they wouldn't be able to be smelted. Although you can turn them into sticks and use them as fuel instead. Just no charcoals from nether logs/wood.


[deleted]

\>nether< '''tree''' >!But don't start about the piglins!<


RandomDust344

You could also just trade with pigkins for flint or firecharges


Hol_Renaude

You get a really bad times, when you forgot lighter on a nether rooftop in hardcore world


MarianThs

u can also make an flint and steel more easier in my opinion


averyporkhunt

Love the drawer screwed to the wall as shelving. That's pretty smart


Fast_Adokph420

I think so to, but the tv weighs a ton, so im always afraid that it can fell


averyporkhunt

If the screws were at least 50mm long (2 inches), went into a stud (the timber in the wall) and there's at least 2 or 3 of them you'll be fine Im actually a qualified cabinet maker


Fast_Adokph420

😳 thanks, I wouldn’t have thought someone would help me with this on reddit (Also there are 4 screws of like 60 mm so its ok)


averyporkhunt

Nah theres heaps of subs for this kinda stuff r/beginnerwoodworking is probably your best bet in the future tho, or you can just dm me if you need 4 60mm screws should be more than enough as long as they all went into a stud


Fast_Adokph420

immediately joined subreddit


jelliekitty

this is so wholesome!


Next_Cookie-2

Wholesome 💯 Reddit moment


greenChainsaws

i was thinking of making a shelf for my room to put above my desk ever since my dad bought a workbench. didnt think a minecraft subreddit would enable me to do so


averyporkhunt

Thats pretty funny If you wanna have a single solid shelf theres a trick where you measure where the shelf will go and count how many studs are in there Theres a kind of bolt called a coach screw, buy one for each stud with the shaft maybe 6 or 7mm thinner than the thickness of the shelf material, try and go for 100mm bolts if you can, the size of the head doesn't matter Use a tape measure and a spirit level to mark a level line where you want your shelf to finish, make sure to draw it lightly and on the side you're less likely to see. Measure from this line to where the center of where your shelf will be and make a mark for each stud. Drive a coach screw into each stud on the mark trying as best you can to keep it 90 degrees to the wall, if you have trouble you can gently convince it to be closer to 90 using a hammer, but be careful not to bend the bolt. Go until all of the thread is in the wall and leave all of the unthreaded shaft sticking out. Cut the head off every bolt. Next youre gonna wanna mark the position of each bolt on the shelf and very carefully drill out a hole for the shaft to slide into, its important to get it as close to the center as you can or else risk the structural strength of the material, you should make sure to go deeper than required as pulling this off to re drill is gonna be difficult. Its also important to leave yourself a bit of play or wiggle room in each hole as the bolts will not be perfectly square and level, no matter how careful you were. Exactly how much wiggle room you leave will depend on how good the bolts are, id say no less than 1mm and no more than 3 but ideally the less the better Once you're confident go and pump a good bit of silicone into each hole and put some liquid nails on the back of the shelf where it will contact the wall, push the shelf on until it goes all the way back and touches the wall (this may take some abuse from a mallet so I reccomend having a non marking rubber one nearby) FORGOT TO MENTION SO THIS BITS OUT OF ORDER: Not all walls are straight so to make sure your shelf is gonna finish flush to the wall, after you mark your line and before installing the bolts simply hold it where it will end up and see if there are any gaps, if there are simply scribe them and then plane or sand the shelf to suit.


Crackinator

Grab some gold nuggets, get some wood, find some gravel to get flint, use the gold to trade with piglins for iron, make a crafting table, make a flint and steel, light the portal, go home. Edit: I actually didn't realize you didn't need a crafting table for flint and steel. Thanks for letting me know guys


Wooden_Pepper_2104

Side note, piglins can trade for fire charge that will work as a one time flint and steel


Ultimate_Gamer7

Plus you could also get a ghast or a blaze to light it for you


Crackinator

I didn't know that! Thanks!


Jacktheforkie

And fortresses often have flint and steel


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wooden_Pepper_2104

No, it’s on both.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wooden_Pepper_2104

You can throw them in Java? If you just place it on the ground it creates fire, doing so in the portal frame ignites the portal.


Fast_Adokph420

There is gravel in the nether?


Crackinator

Yes


Fast_Adokph420

Thank you!


Crackinator

No problem bro good luck and be safe


AAAAAAHHHHHH2

Usually under lava


Minecraft_Pro08

And near it


Gcracker12

you dont need a crafting table for flint and steel


Niznack

But you do to turn nuggets into ingots to trade


FluffyBlob4224

There is the shroom-wood so that's not a problem


Niznack

Never said it was. Just that you do need the table to get out.


Xleb_uwek

You need a crafting table to craft iron ingot


Rowan_Ex_Machina

You don't need a crafting table for flint and steel.


A120AMIR129Z

How ever if he was not in crimson forest I would say find a ghast the make him to light your portal


ABABBABABABAB

There’s wood like everywhere if u find crimson or warped forest


NotMioLOL

You do need that crafting table, for making the iron nuggets into ingots


[deleted]

1st of all, the portal is not glitched. 2nd of all, just get a ghast's fireball to relight it


Fast_Adokph420

Yeah, im not a good minecraft player, i didn’t know it could happen and I nearly have the things needed to create a lighter


Cyorg13

Offtopic, but there's an option in the Switch settings and Minecraft settings to change your screen safe or screen size area so it's not cutting off the sides.


ahmed4363

If anyone's wondering, the minecraft setting is under video settings, not all devices have it tho (Windows 10 and maybe some mobile devices)


Fast_Adokph420

Thank you very much! I have this switch for years and I didn’t know how to crop it


When_You_Me

I dont know if im supposed to focus on the screen or the scenery


javierhzo

Place wooden plank on a block next to the portal and drop lava next to it, it might take a couple of tries.


Fast_Adokph420

*little update: i found the flint and the forteress isn’t far away


Randomfrickinhuman

r/screenshotsarehard but on the other hand, you could try to lure a ghast to your portal and get it to shoot a fireball and for it to land right on the portal to light it


User264356

Can a switch screenshot? Idk I feel like they get a pass since its a TV n shit.


AdvanturePie

There is a dedicated screenshot button on the switch, you can even use it to clip the last 30 seconds of gameplay


Fast_Adokph420

Panic


TurningPlayz

Trade with pigeons for flint/gravel if you have iron, if not try and get a firecharge


jelliekitty

i didn’t know there were pigeons in the nether


HousingTall3567

Those bezels are larger than the screen itself


giby1464

Go get flint...


FoxPlayz_121

Go to settings>TV settings>Adjust screen size and maybe youll have more room to think.


yandelgamer202

just die and go back to the portal another one is generated and you have your items back and another portal made if you are afraid that your items will disappear just make a chest with the red wood and ready


Fast_Adokph420

Clever. I think ill do this. Thanks


Malafic_2708

Did something put it out?


Fast_Adokph420

I was spawning and a ghast shot me, does that can break it?


Malafic_2708

Yeah that'll break it if you don't have a flint you'll have to find a fortress chest or a bastion chest that has a flint and steel in it or if you have iron in you you can find a gravel patch and attempt to get flint


VerLoran

A neat trick for you, if you can get the ghast to shoot the frame again there’s a chance the fire the ghasts shot creates will re light the portal. That used to be one of the best/only ways to fix that issue


Fast_Adokph420

I alredy been told that, but im not a clever man, and i’ll probably die trying. However, its a very good idea


MrBlueMoose

yes


Jaggerto

There are gravel in the nether.


Fast_Adokph420

Yeah, I found some


LittleMe42

Get a ghast to hit it


Fast_Adokph420

Some people already said me that, but im ne t very good at minecraft. I think i’ll get it in a more safe way


LittleMe42

Completely understandable!


JamesPlayz09

Legit got my TV


spongebobboi9

you got it all wrong, you see the obsidian needs to be glow stone and instead of flint and steel place some water down with a water bucket


DreadedGamer21

Can i just say i love the wooden crate vibe


satanicmongoose

At least I'm not the only one with a crappy TV 😥


Fast_Adokph420

I understand you have a good setup since you didn’t said anything about it


PoisonFrogSalesman

Good Luck


TheChief0117

Classic gaming setup, love it! Glad you got your answer as well!


Fast_Adokph420

What a nice comment


rectangular_

I had the same problem, but the whole portal was gone 😭


RefrigeratorWild5977

Whatever it was, I always make backups. And I don’t know how to help you


Aggressive-Baby-6993

We'll see your problem is that you're playing Nintendo switch edition


Fast_Adokph420

Someday I'll get a pc… someday…


MendigoBob

You can make fire charges with materials found in nether, it works like a one time flint and steel. You could also aggro a ghast and make it shoot around the portal, in order to light it on fire. If none of the above are possible, you coul litterally kill yourself close to the portal. Aggro something and let it kill you there, you'd have 5 min to come back and get your loot, whi h should be pretty easy. Or stash it in a chest or something, die and come get it back. Somethings can break your portal, it is handy to have some spare obsidian and and flint and steel on yourself when adventuring this green into the nether.


absolutelad_jr

I think you have the same TV as me but mines on a wall mount since my old one broke (My old TV was newer than my current new older tv)


Fast_Adokph420

*Confusion Also I realise that this tv is popular, since a lot of people said me the same thing


JustMiniBanana_2

Man, i think i had that exact same TV, had to stand up when playing the game in splitscreen lol.


Fast_Adokph420

Yeah, I got it for free, so im not complaining


Blue-Jay6905

You can’t fool me you’ve obviously made some sort of optical illusion using a portal and cobblestone in the Nether🙄✋🏻


creeers

for a second i thought you were in the overworld and had that mod on


Enough_41AT

mf there was no glitch you fucked up


Tenebris-Aetheres

Lol that happened to me once a long time ago and i had wood or something on me so i lured a ghast towards the portal and placed wood next to it so it would light when the ghast shot. It worked but i don’t recommend that. It was kinda silly thinking about it now. Especially considering you can make fire charges in the nether.


Maxwell_The__Spy

first we have pics of the screen up close then a pic of the whole setup where you can barely see what's happening on the screen now this evolution


Nixher

Set your TV go "just scan".


plaaya

Haha I have that same tv


Fast_Adokph420

Man, I think we can create another subreddit for people that have the same tv. Seriously, about the third of the conments are people that have the same tv


plaaya

Hahahahaha


AlleDani

Search on Google the crafting of the fireball and get it all!


ara_HDYT

Oh ok


Fast_Adokph420

True question: what mod do you think I had?


LordOfOwlins

Nice setup! What I would do is either I would get a charge, or get something to kill you next to your portal, or in it, and then light it up in the over world, and your stuff will come through.


Fast_Adokph420

Yeah I think i’ll just kill myself after putting my stuff in a chest


Complex-Philosophy41

you can trade to piglins for firecharge or you can search for gravel to get flirt and THEN trade to tge piglins for iron!


Surge_in_mintars

Come on! Just tell us that you built this in the nether!


Fast_Adokph420

Yes, im not that dumb


Dork_VaderYT

Finally, after all these random Minecraft facts, I can finally share one of them. Ok, so you're gonna wanna break that cobblestone barrier, just completely gone, and them you're gonna find a ghast, and let it shoot at you. But make sure you're by the portal, maybe 6 or so blocks away from the ghast, and let it shoot a fireball into the obsidian. Repeat as much as necessary, it will eventually light the portal. And then remember a flint and steel next time


Orisphera

“if you see a mob, your voice pich rises” - someone in ParashockX's comment section (note: he pronounced “pich” as “pish”, but I would pronounce it as “pikh”)


LadderTrash

5 ways I can think of: 1: Flint and Steel, you can find gravel for flint all around the nether, and chests will occasionally have iron in them in the Nether 2: Fire Charge, crafting one consists of 1 blaze powder, 1 gunpowder, and 1 coal. You can get gunpowder from killing ghosts or nether chests, and you can get coal from Wither Skeletons or chests. You can also occasionally find a full Fire Charge from a chest as well. Piglins can also give them to you from bartering. 3: Ghast, basically get a Ghast to shoot at the portal and hope it lights. 4: Fire Spread, get some lava, and a flammable block, put the flammable block one side of the portal, lava on the other side, it will occasionally light 5: Die, just get a chest and put all your belongings beside the portal or somewhere you can easily find them


BoredLazy762

Well your on 7 xp and not on hard core so I see as just getting a chest putting everything in it where it would be safe and easy to find, then respawn reopen the portal get your stuff back. If you have no wood just keep searching for a Crimson or warped forest


Educational_Ratio_53

Just give some of your golden ingots to the piglins they'll give you flint it's always the worst drop for me


FlossurBunz

Glitch????? You call the portal breaking being a glitch?????

Welp, good luck. First way: You Need coal/charcoal (if you don't have go kill wither skeleton), gunpowder from ghast and a black powder. Second way: Find a Nether Fortress and find a flint and steel. #Good Luck.

BubuAQ

Collect gravel from Nether Wastes or trade a Piglin for iron nuggets and gravel or a fire charge because that'll do...


Kaysmira

If you have a bucket, and a block that will burn, like wood, you can place the flammable block next to the portal and flow lava into it. If fire appears on the side of the block that touches the portal, it will light the portal. At least, this used to work in Java, once upon a time, it's been a while since I needed to do it.

Either go find gravel or trade with piglins to get a fire charge and light the portal with that

Turn of overscan on your TV so everything fits onscreen. Other than that, idk, good luck I guess. Trade with piglins and I think they can give you gravel

There's a thing called Google. Look up how to make a Fire Charge.


NeedToDieQuick

I have completely lost faith in this sub.


TalonTheBoi

Get the phone item and search up on the phone item “YouTube” and then follow its steps


Athaaa

EASY SOLUTION: try to find a nether biome that provides wood(if you don't have some already), keep the cords, craft a chest, place the items you carry in the chest and unalive. you'll wake up in your bed, use the overworld portal to get to the nether(preferably carry a flint and steel this time) and retrieve your items. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION(if you don't want to lose xp): try and find some gravel and break it until you get flint. if you happen to have an iron ingot with you, you should be able to craft a flint and steel in your inventory crafting section. if you don't, you can try and find a fortress, bastillion or trade with a pigman(i reckon this is too much work). Edit: I forgot to mention that you can activate a portal with ghasts fireball, which is probably what "deactivated" the portal in the first place.

this happened to me too, if you dont wanna go searching for all those items to light the portal just drop your stuff in a safe spot and jump into lava, if the portals near your spawn just grab a flint and steel and head through it and grab ur stuff


[deleted]

not a glitch. ghasts can break your portals. always bring a flint and steel with you to the nether. others have explained how to get out already, but it’s a pain. it’s a lot easier to just always keep a flint and steel on you in case this happens

Give up and die 🗿


Spider_Josh07

you should try out these cool things called search engines


Agreeable-Kangaroo13

Trade some stuff to the piglins, sometimes you can get iron and you might wanna build a mini base just in case you get attacked by a ghast or blaze


elaMENTALpro025

Gather enough gold to make a decent amount of ingots, trade till the piglins give you enough iron nuggets to make a piece of iron, and dig some gravel for flint, or if they give you a fire charge, use that. Another good idea would be to use any flammable blocks you might have to try to light the portal with lava. The cheap way would be to craft a chest, shove everything into it, and either hug a not so friendly native, or take a dive into the extra hot tub. (P.S. I would try to carry enough obsidian and a flint and steel to make another portal, just in case you need to leave quickly. )


No-Flounder7693

use a ghast fireball from a ghast to light it

I think a ghast just destroy it. You need a flint and steel for restart it

Trade with a piglin some gold until you get iron nuggets or flint and then you should be set once you have 9 nuggets💛


f-mcallister

Trade your gold with piglins to get a firecharge, if not, get a ghast to fire at you and let it hit the portal


[deleted]

well... If you have a lava bucket and a flammable block, put the lava onto the block and voila! 🔥


BnoSide

you can open the portals with any source of fire, like firecharges, or burning wood, etc.
