First, the best way to track down a Nether Fortress is to study its spawn patterns. Next, let’s dive into how this structure is generated within the game.
Nether strongholds can appear anywhere in the Nether and are not unique to the biome. When analyzing where to spawn a Nether Fortress, the game divides the Nether map into regions where the remains of a fortress or rampart can appear.

How to increase the chances of finding a stronghold in the Nether
Think of where you enter the Nether as the middle of a 4-way intersection. Your Nether Portal marks a central point where the world spawns around you. In all 4 compass directions; north, east, south and west are “roads” where no structure can be generated. However, in between all of these roads, there are large squares of space that can spawn a Nether Fortress or Bastion Remnant. These big squares of space are actually the 4 main sections of the piece you generate into.
To put it simply, the best way to find a Nether Fortress is to walk diagonally away from your Nether Portal when you enter the Nether. You should try to search all 4 possible sections of blocks for the highest odds of coming across a Nether Fortress. By default, one Bastion Remnant will spawn in each section of the block, although they can be overridden by game-generated Nether Fortresses.
