Currently making nether portals without already knowing it, hearing how to do it from others or looking it up is basically impossible. Someone would have to guess they would have to combine 10 to 14 obsidian blocks (or more with the new portals) and then light the middle.
Mojang acknowledged this in building a wither so they added the wither painting. Players with no prior knowledge could actually use this paiting to create a wither (they would have to make an educated guess if the material for the body is soul sand, dirt, clay or brown wool).
So I propose a nether portal painting. Basically it would be a pixelated painting of a lit nether portal standing on a field in nighttime, with the moon visible in the background. The painting would probably be 2 by 2.
Next to this there could also be a painting for a snow golem and an iron golem, as both are pretty hard to guess (snow golems especially because they don't spawn when not built).
I aim to please ... and occasionally mentally scar. "Because it's your right as an American to butcher the English language."
This is my baby, please support her and get her into vanilla:
Yes but surely if they know how to build a pickaxe, they could easily find how to build a portal from where they learnt how to build a pickaxe. I like it though.
Not really a bad idea, but I suspect a player would deserve to not have a nether portal if he lacked the ability to look up something on the wiki.

Why Minecraft mobs should NEVER have multiple attacks:
- No other PC mobs do. - Mob behaviour is intended to be simple.
Why you should NOT name new "special ability" weapons as "XXX Swords":
- No other swords have special abilities. - Make a new kind of weapon.

I made this idea specifically for players who want to figure out everything by themselves without getting spoilers from the wiki (or other non-minecraft resources).
