Nether bricks are blocks used to form nether fortresses in the Nether.
Red nether bricks are decorative variants that do not naturally generate.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Nether bricks can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Usage[edit | edit source]
Nether brick is non-flammable and immune to ghast fireballs, making it a suitable shelter material for the Nether. When walking on it, it makes the same step sound as stone.
If a nether brick block is inside the whole bounding box of a nether fortress (not just inside the individual parts), nether fortress mobs (such as blazes and wither skeletons) can spawn on it if other normal conditions are met.
