I have been walking around the nether but I don't seem to find any fortresses? What's a tip to find them faster?

I have a few questions about the nether and nether fortresses:   How do you find Fortress in the Nether world? I spend many hours searching, all of them ended with death. I still couldn't find any Nether Fortresses. I am starting to doubt whether they even exist or not. Is Nether world almost limitless in size, like overworld, or is it limited in size? Is there only 1 Fortress in Nether world or are there many?

I had told dwarves to cut down trees in an area a good distance away from my base, across a river. After doing so they left the wood lying about where the trees had been, despite the fact that my wood stockpile was empty. I even tried creating another stockpile nearby to see if they brought the wood to that.  Things I've checked   I do have dwarves with the wood hauling labour enabled. The area is accessible I have not told dwarves to stay within any burrows, or created any for that matter.

I can't find my house and I have specific kind of blocks in it like beacons, enchantment tables, furnaces, stuff like that. I didn't put a bed and I never viewed the coordinates.

In minecraft I use eyes of ender to locate a stronghold, but when I got there, there where only useless rooms and caves where cutting through it making it difficult to navigate, and me and someone else both searched for more than an hour but could not find the end portal. I threw eyes of ender inside the stronghold to try to find the portal room but that did not work. I am running out of eyes of ender, inventory space, and weapons. I managed to get more stone pickaxes by finding the library and wrecking the walls and using cobblestone I already have. I am playing in a server where ANY cheating is untolerated, so spectator or getting the world seed is not a choice. I did find some weird rooms that you have to wreck blocks to get in. I am running out of options.  How should I proceed?

In order to protect a portal in the nether I have an obsidian room with an iron door, which works off a switch in the room. The problem is that if I leave the room and someone else on the server closes the door from the inside I can't get back to that portal.  Powering red stone on the outside of the door doesn't seem to work, as the switch inside is already powering it, so I'm guessing something like an XOR gate will be the solution, however I am finding it difficult to see how to make this work in practice.

What conditions are necessary for a Wither Skeleton to spawn naturally, and can I manipulate those conditions to increase the chance of them spawning?  I want to make a Wither Skeleton spawning pad in the Nether but I'm having trouble finding Wither Skeletons. I've only heard that they spawn in Nether Fortresses.

I'm playing on a SMP server and am trying to use the Nether to link up all my disparate bases around the world. Note in the below, A is Overworld, B is Nether.  I started with one portal (A1, thus spawning B1 in the Nether), and then created another portal a ways away in the Nether (B2), hoping it would be near the main area all the other players congregate. It (A2) was pretty close to where I wanted it, but not exactly. I then created another portal a short distance away (A3), which was where I was hoping A2 would land. I then went somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 squares away from where I initially built A1 (in the opposite direction of A2/A3) and created another portal, A4.   One would think A3 and A4 would create B3 and B4 on the Nether side, respectively. However, A4 linked to B1, and A3 linked to B2. The weird part is, A1 is further from A4 than A1 is from A3.   I hope that made any sense. My question is:  How far away do portals on the Overworld map need to be from each other in order to spawn separate portals in the Nether? Or, what are some ways to ensure a new portal won't link to an existing one?

How does one get to The Nether area in Minecraft?  I heard that portals would be used to teleport around the map, but in order to use the portals you have to go through The Nether area.

I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found . However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here?

I have a Dedicated Bedrock Server running on my PC, and I can't connect from the same PC where the server is. If I add it onto the list of servers, it appears as "Locating server" and never finds it.    If I try to connect, I get "Unable to connect to world".    On my friend's PS4, it appears on the Friends tab as a LAN Game on a Dedicated Server.    And also on my sister's laptop.

I'm working towards beating the Ender Dragon on hardcore vanilla Minecraft. I've gotten myself all the way up to locating the stronghold, however the End Portal is nowhere to be seen. I had 10 Eyes of Ender, and used up all but one of them to find the exact coordinates of where the eye ends up:    This is where the eye floats to when you're near the portal, meaning it triangulates on the Y axis as well. Thinking that it has to be nearby, I exploded a small stack of TNT to open the place up a bit:    It floats in the exact same spot, but there's still no portal nearby. It does not matter if I'm above or below that spot, it always floats to that exact location. Looking at the wiki, it says the PC version of Minecraft Eyes of Ender go to the exact coordinates of the End Portal, however I've dug all the way down to bedrock without any luck.  I seem to have exhausted all methods to locate the End Portal here. Is there a way I can still salvage this game without having to resort to cheating?  Edit: Here's my coordinates and seed as requested.

I've downloaded Minecraft Forge for Minecraft v1.6.4 and I can't find the mods folder! Where do I look? I've looked in my Forge folder but it wasn't there!

I just opened a nether portal for the first time, and I must say, it's not a very good location, a sort of narrow trench/cavern thingy without any obvious clues as to which direction is "out".  I'm not willing to simply move my overworld portal (due to dilation it is unlikely to have much of an effect, anyway), and was wondering if there was a way to force minecraft to generate a new personal Hell for me to explore (hopefully one that doesn't involve me stuck in some wall!).

The durability of iron tools is really starting to annoy me, but in all my hours of playing I've only stumbled across one deposit of diamond ore that provided around 7 Diamonds. What's the best way to locate more in Survival mode? Where is it most commonly found?

In Minecraft survival mode, there are dungeon rooms with mob spawning machines, mossy cobblestones and special treasures.  What's the best way to find those?  I found one the other day and have been looking for more because it was great fun to beat, might be fun to farm, and had awesome special prizes.

I have searched in %appdata%, pulling up the list of files there, but there is no file labelled .minecraft. Searching %appdata%\.minecraft returns "no results found".   I also opened Minecraft to click on the resources button and could not locate that either.

I've been playing Terraria for a while, and I'd like to get up onto those Floating Islands for their loot (mainly interested in the Shiny Red Balloon).  What is the most reliable and/or easiest method to locate these Floating Islands?
