A Nether fortress is an uncommon large structure made of Nether bricks found in the Nether, consisting of bridges, corridors, and towers. Nether fortresses are the only place where wither skeletons and blazes spawn. They also contain Nether wart.
Nether fortresses generate in all Nether biomes. To do so, the game splits the Nether into regions in which one of either a fortress or a bastion remnant can generate. The regions are 432×432 blocks in Java Edition and 480×480 blocks in Bedrock Edition.
Each region has a four chunk separation located on the south and east borders of the region in which neither a fortress nor a bastion can generate.
This leaves only a 368×368 block section in Java Edition or 416×416 block section in Bedrock Edition where a structure can generate.
Two structures never generate in the same region, although they might overlap if they generate close to the separation border. The chance of a fortress attempting to generate instead of a bastion is 2⁄5 (40%) in Java Edition and 1⁄3 (33.3%) in Bedrock Edition. However, if a bastion attempts to generate in the basalt deltas, a fortress generates instead, resulting in fortresses being the most common in the basalt deltas.
Nether fortresses can generate buried in netherrack. In such a case, the interior is not filled with netherrack; all hallways and passages are clear except for open walkways and bridges. It is possible but rare for glowstone or crimson and warped huge fungi to generate inside the fortress pathways.
Nether fortresses are large complexes composed of Nether bricks supported by pillars that tower high above the lava seas.
The fortress generation starts with a plain four-way crossing centered at chunk coordinates 11, ~, 11 of the designated chunk.
A fortress has two areas, an exterior area of open bridges and an interior area of enclosed corridors. Both the bridges and corridors can end in an unfinished passageway structure or may simply end without elaboration. Fortresses can tunnel through netherrack, giving the "exterior" areas an appearance of tunnels with Nether brick floor and netherrack walls and ceilings. At broken sections the terrain is not cleared, which may create a tunnel that leads straight into a wall of netherrack.
The exterior consists of:
The interior of the structures have 1×2 windows with Nether brick fences as the windowpanes. The fences also form gate-like structures at the entrances of some rooms and corridors. Rooms include:

The structure bounding box for the 4-way intersection is pictured above (top-down view), and consists of a 19×11×19 volume centered on the floor block in the center of the intersection. This contrasts many of the other structure bounding boxes as their outlines tend to tightly follow the physical bounds of the structure. Notably, this also means that the fortress supports, which generate outside of that volume and go down to the ground and often into the lava ocean, are not considered part of the fortress for spawning purposes.
The area bounding box is a rectangular box that covers the entire fortress (again, excluding the supports). This is simply the smallest rectangular bounding box that can hold the bounding boxes of all structure pieces in the fortress.
Fortresses use a list of possible mobs to spawn that is separate from the rest of the Nether, regardless of the biome the fortress generates in. This includes zombified piglins, skeletons, and magma cubes, as well as two exclusive mobs not found anywhere else: blazes and wither skeletons.
Mobs spawn at a much higher rate if the fortress is surrounded by soul sand valley or warped forest biomes, as hostile mobs in these biomes spawn much less frequently, allowing more hostile mobs to spawn in the fortress[JE only][1].
In Java Edition, the spawning algorithm has two checks:
If either check passes, it uses the special mob list for fortresses rather than the list for the biome when choosing the mob to spawn. The actual mob spawning proceeds as normal for the mob chosen from this list.

In Bedrock Edition, instead of spawning anywhere within a structural bounding box, most mobs spawn only in structure spawn locations along varied-length lines spaced apart 4-11 blocks throughout the fortress. They are not set to a particular Y level other than "inside the structure" and are indeed columns several blocks high. They do not require any special type of block, any regular spawnable block suffices.
To identify these spawning columns, glass panes or iron bars can be placed all over the fortress, 1 block above surface blocks. This keeps the mobs stationary. (This technique works in Bedrock because structure spawns occur in the northwest corner of blocks.) Note that these spots may be on top of the raised side blocks, so these side blocks have to be removed before a glass pane grid can be placed.

Fortresses generate Nether fortress loot with chests in the indoor sections placed at some corridor turns.
In Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, each nether fortress chest contains items drawn from 2 pools, with the following distribution:
| Item | Stack Size [A] | Weight [B] | Chance [C] | Avg. per chest [D] |
Avg. # chests to search [E] |

| September 19, 2011 | Jeb releases a second teaser screenshot, showcasing the structure of the then upcoming fortresses. | ||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease | Added Nether fortresses. | |||||
| 1.4.2 | 12w36a | Wither skeletons and skeletons now naturally spawn in fortresses. | |||||
| As a result, other mobs also found in fortresses spawn less often. Zombie pigmen's spawning weight is halved, making them significantly less common. | |||||||
| 1.6.1 | 13w18a | Chests now generate in fortresses. | |||||
| 1.8 | 14w27a | Fortresses are now affected by the "Generated structures" option. | |||||
| 14w30a | Added possibility of obsidian in chests. | ||||||
| 1.9 | 15w43a | Reduced loot in chests from 2–5 stacks to 2–4 stacks. | |||||
| 1.16 | 20w06a | Fortresses can now spawn in the soul sand valley biome. | |||||
| 20w15a | Fortresses can now spawn in the basalt deltas biome. | ||||||
| 20w16a | Fortresses now generate evenly throughout the Nether. | ||||||
| Pre-release 3 | Fortresses are now slightly more common. | ||||||
| 1.18.2 | Pre-release 1 | If a bastion remnant attempts to generate in a basalt delta, a fortress generates in its place, instead of being skipped entirely. | |||||
| 1.19.4 Experiment | 23w04a | Rib armor trim is now found in fortress chests. | |||||
| 23w05a | Increased the chance that rib armor trim is found in fortress chests from 4.7% to 6.7%. | ||||||
| 1.21.9 | 25w31a | Copper horse armor is now found in fortress chests. | |||||
