Blazing Fortress

The Blazing Fortress was an island-based around the Nether. It was accessed after the player has attained Level V by using a launch pad found at  in the Spider's Den.

The Crimson Isle replaced the Blazing Fortress in the Nether Update. A large variety of new, stronger mobs were added, and the Island was expanded. The combat level requirement is XXIV (24).

Location
Inside the fortress itself, there were Nether Wart, Blazes, and Wither Skeletons. Step 4 of the Romero and Juliette quest took place there, so Romero would be found here, where you had to bring him one Enchanted Red Mushroom Block to do the quest. The fortress also had a large courtyard behind it, connected by a bridge.

Magma Cubes spawned on the bridge connecting the two parts. In the arena, larger, more dangerous Magma Cubes spawned. At nighttime, Ghasts would spawn very high in the sky. Every two hours, a Magma Boss would spawn which has a chance to drop the or  variant of the Magma Cube Pet to those who dealt the most damage to it.

Outside of the fortress, there was a cave full of Glowstone, Netherrack, and Quartz. The entrance in front of the cave was filled with Zombie Pigmen. The cave ended with a view of the courtyard bridge.

Temperature
The Temperature was a mechanic in the Blazing Fortress, which can be found by pressing tab. It was used to indicate when the next Magma Cube Boss was about to spawn.
