Pidgeott: Why is there like 4 extra obsidian portals?
Friend: Lol idk

Pidgeott: I'm heading back, I'll just light the same portal we went in since it turned off for some reason.
Friend: k
Pidgeott: Wtf.
Friend: huh?
Pidgeot: Why am I in the middle of the ocean?
Friend: weird
Friend: wtf!?
Pidgeott: The hell?
Pidgeott: I'll just break it and then head back I guess.
Pidgeott: Wtf why do I keep ending up in the ocean?
Friend: your nether is weird
Pidgeott: I'll just break the gates.
Pidgeott: Why does it keep spawning more gates in the middle of ocean now?
Pidgeott: There's like 8 broken gates flying in the middle of the ocean! wtf?!
Long story short. I couldn't find any Netherrack in the Nether and there's a giant tower of Obsidian gates floating above the ocean because I kept trying to fix my gate.
Also I was playing on Easy difficulty.
I did manage to fix the gate eventually using OP status... I had to reposition every single block we placed in the nether to fix it.
Why is it so hard to find Netherrack in the Nether? There's none of it in a 360 degree area as far as I can see.
