Feels Like Home
Take a Strider for a loooong ride on a lava lake in the Overworld
Requirements: Ride a strider for 50 blocks on lava in the Overworld.
Overview
Feels Like Home is a task advancement in the Nether tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Take a Strider for a loooong ride on a lava lake in the Overworld." It branches directly off This Boat Has Legs, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Nether tab covers advancements for exploring and conquering the Nether dimension, from entering the portal to brewing potions. Feels Like Home was added in Minecraft 1.18 and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.
It is rated Hard difficulty on this site: requires significant effort, rare resources, or dangerous encounters. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
In tree terms, Feels Like Home sits second along its line: the full path from the Nether root reads Nether -> This Boat Has Legs -> Feels Like Home. That means 2 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Feels Like Home is one of 23 total advancements in the Nether tab. It shares its parent, This Boat Has Legs, with one sibling, Hot Tourist Destinations, which unlocks from the same point.
How to Complete Feels Like Home
Earning Feels Like Home comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Ride a strider for 50 blocks on lava in the Overworld.
- You need to bring a strider through a nether portal, find a lava lake in the Overworld, and ride it with a warped fungus on a stick for the required distance.
Tips & Fastest Route
- Fastest route: Bring a Strider to an Overworld lava lake and ride it 50 blocks across the lava.
- Striders follow a player holding warped fungus, so walk one into a portal that way; a lead snaps when the Strider goes through.
- Open cave space from Y -55 down to Y -63 fills with lava when the world generates, which gives far longer rides than the small lava lakes near the surface.
- Make sure This Boat Has Legs is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Feels Like Home will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Hard difficulty, Feels Like Home rewards preparation over speed: line up the items and conditions in the steps first rather than improvising mid-attempt.
Common Mistakes
- Remember that Feels Like Home will not appear as available until This Boat Has Legs is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
Reward & What It Unlocks
Feels Like Home grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.
It is a leaf advancement, so nothing further unlocks from it; it stands as a completed tip of its branch.
