<s>[INST] How can I make a nether portal in minecraft without a diamond pickaxe? [/INST] To make a Nether portal in Minecraft without a diamond pickaxe, you can follow these steps:

Prepare an area where you can have a 5 tall and 4 wide rectangle
Carefully pour water onto a lava piece to make an obsidian block
Carry on making obsidian until you have the 5 by 4 rectangle
Light the inside on fire with flint and steel which activates the nether portal</s>\ <s>[INST] Ok, that makes sense. How do speed runners create their nether portals so fast? [/INST] Speedrunners in Minecraft often use the "bucket trick" to quickly create Nether portals. This involves having a source block of lava and a source block of water close to each other. The player then places the lava source block in the desired location for the Nether portal, and uses a bucket to scoop up the water and pour it onto the lava. This instantly creates obsidian blocks, allowing the player to quickly build their Nether portal and enter the Nether. By doing this, the player can bypass the need for a diamond pickaxe and create the portal much faster.</s>
