Just wanted to thank milcondoin for the advise. I made a few stupid errors while obtaining my glowstone but the 1024 block trick worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Thank you I will definitely try this. I got about 600 away from my home and realized that my stupid self only had 5 obsidian. So now I'm almost 1300 blocks away from home, on a quest to find 3 source blocks of lava (2 i got from a vanilla village i stumbled upon and I used water on the blacksmiths forge).

Im having an issue right now where my nether portal (placed at level 50-something in the over world) has spawned on level 8-ish in the nether. I can't get above ground to get glowstone (my reason for going to the nether) without running into a lake of lava. I know the lakes are huge, but I cant find anywhere to get above level 22. Ive tried other portals in my main land ( hundreds of blocks apart) but they all link to the same portal in the nether
