You just walk around the nether. Place a nonflammable block like cobblestone to mark your way back to you portal, in case you get lost.

To fight blazes, I recommend using a fishing rod to bring them close to you if they aren't above a solid, accessible block, but keep a 1-block distance to avoid a melee attack. Also, you are immune to their main attack (fireballs) with a fire resistance potion, so once you get a blaze rod, you should rush to make a fire resistance potion, which is made by brewing and awkward potion (netherwart) with magma cream.

I need help on how to find diamond ore

You craft an iron pick, some armour, at least a stack of torches, a stone or better sword, a lot of cobble stone and dirt, go into a VERY deep cave, be ready to fight loads of skeletons, creepers, zombies and whatever other mobs you find, and dig and dig and dig. And when you hit diamond, build a platform around it (especially below it), because diamond tends to appear near lava. Then mine it. Also, you NEED to have the platform on the block directly below it.

I found redstone ore once

How is that even remotely relevant to what I just said? Redstone isn't very uncommon, you can rack up a stack in one mining trip.

what about lapis lazuli ore?

I found 28 blocks of that 

I have 5 stacks of lapis lazuli in my house right now. I have a whole double chest with redstone based items.

Got it. Are the fortresses common?

I say 1 per 250 blocks, maybe? I dunno, not too common, but not too rare, either.

Actually, I really liked the new updates to the game. 

However, I do miss the old Minecraft--like, before beta 1.8. I've been playing Minecraft for about 1 1/2 years, so I started in Beta 1.3_01.

Same!

Perhaps you could compare it to the rarity of something in the overworld?

A village. Fortresses are tougher to find though since there is no sky so a veiw of them gets blocked.

Vielen dank mein gutt Mann.

What does that mean? Tranlator tells me "Many thanks to my husband gutt"

Translator gives me a "Did you mean 'guttMan'?" which I suspect would be a mistake that was supposed to say "Many thanks to my good man"?

Yeah, I would say that a nether fortress is about as rare as a village.

It's German for "Many thanks, my good man!" (I didn't need a translator  )


And 1.3 later today.
