Ruined Portal Guide (Bedrock)

Forgotten Gateways in Bedrock

Ruined Portals are the broken remains of ancient Nether paths. Scattered across the Bedrock Overworld and Nether, they are your fastest route to finding gold and obsidian early in your journey.

Early Nether Access

Check the chest! Most ruined portals contain enough obsidian to finish the frame. This is a game-changer for speedrunners on console or mobile who want to reach the Nether without mining a single block.

Bedrock Crying Obsidian

Don't confuse Crying Obsidian with the regular kind. You can't use it for the portal frame, but it's vital for crafting Respawn Anchors if you plan on setting up a base in the Bedrock Nether.
