How to get the feels like home achievement

Minecraft features a long list of achievements for players to obtain while exploring the nearly infinite world. While players are free to do anything in this sandbox game, achievements are like side quests to help players learn about various features.

With every update, Mojang adds new achievements to Minecraft. The most recent Caves & Cliffs Part II update added four new achievements and all of them are related to the new features added in version 1.18.

The 1.18 achievement, called 'Feels Like Home,' requires players to visit the Nether realm. This article is a guide on how players can acquire the particular achievement in Minecraft.

A detailed look at Minecraft's 'Feels Like Home' achievement and easy step-by-step guide for players

The 'Feels Like Home' achievement is themed around the large cheese caves that now generate in the Overworld. When these noise caves form near the bedrock layer, vast lava lakes will generate in the Overworld. Lava lakes in the Overworld caves have become similar to lava in the Nether.

The in-game description for the achievement states: Take a Strider for a loooong ride on a lava lake in the Overworld. To achieve this, players will need to find a strider.

Striders are passive mobs found in the Nether realm. These tall-legged creatures prefer to live on lava and naturally have the ability to walk on it as well. They can spawn in all Nether biomes as long as there is a certain amount of lava present around them.

More specifically, players can easily find striders roaming over the vast lava seas that the Nether is famous for.

A step-by-step guide to getting the achievement

Players can use the following instructions to easily obtain the achievement.

Step 1. Go to the Nether.

Step 2. Bring a strider back from the Nether to the Overworld.

Step 3. Put a saddle on the strider if it does not already have one.

Step 4. Ride the strider on lava.

Step 5. Cover at least 50 blocks on lava using a strider.

After covering 50 blocks, players will get the 'Feels Like Home' achievement. Players will have to use a warped fungus on a stick to move the strider in a particular direction. Players who have already ridden a pig will already know how to control strider's movement.

Creating a nether portal in front of a large lava lake in the Overworld will help the player get this achievement as soon as they bring a strider from the Nether. Otherwise, players can manually create a small pool of lava to complete this particular achievement.

Thank You!

In Short:
You need to bring a strider from the Nether to the Overworld and ride it across a pool of lava.
According to others the required distance seems to be 50+ blocks in a direction, and can be either naturally generated or man-made. Running circles in a small pool doesn't seem to work.

Before you try the achievement you need a couple of things:

- Saddle: Can be found inside chests in generated structures, as well as through trading, fishing or pillager raids.
- Obsidian: At least 10 to create a nether portal, having enough for 2 helps.
- Flint & steel/ Fire charge: To light the portal.
- Warped Fungus on a stick: Warped fungus can be found in the Nether, combine it with a fishing rod (String + Sticks).

Optional:
- Elytra + Fireworks: Use firework while flying for a boosts, useful when exploring. Very useful in the nether.
- Bed: Create a checkpoint close to the nether portal.
- Potion of Fire Resistance: Obviously

Once you have these items you'll have to look for a large pool of lava in the overworld. (Or create one yourself)
With the update large caverns are now generated, I found a lake inside one of those caverns at -42 height.
Large enough to fly in and out with an elytra.
In existing worlds it might help to travel to an area that hasn't been generated yet.

When you find a suitable lake, feel free to create a checkpoint or back-up in case you lose the saddle or something.
Build the nether portal using the obsidian, You'll use it to take the Strider to the overworld.

In case a portal in the nether opens up somewhere high. Break it.
Create a new portal somewhere lower, if it's close enough to the old one, it'll link to the existing portal in the Overworld.

Striders can be found swimming in or hanging around the large lava oceans.
Use the Warped Fungus on a stick to lure one through the portal.

Because the Overworld portal is close to the lake all you have to do is equip the saddle and ride the Strider.
Using the Warped Fungus to steer.

Let me know if I missed something.
