I just need a fairly risk-free way to kill blazes. There was a nether fortress a little away from my portal, and I saw a blaze spawner when I first found the fortress, but have been too utterly terrified to go up and explore. This is partially due to the fact that there's just a wither skelly hanging around a short distance away from my staircase up.
So I could easily (Probably...) get to the blaze spawner if I was well prepared and wanted to, but I haven't felt the need to. And it would be nice if someone would give me a bit of a strategy for killing Blazes and Wither Skeletons. I've already sniped quite a few Ghasts with my Power 1 bow, so I doubt they'll be a problem unless they decide to barge in when I'm doing combat with a Blaze/ Wither Skeleton.
My plan was: Snipe the wither skelly off the Fortress, continue on to the Blaze Spawner, marking my way with cobble, then pelt any spawned blazes with Snowballs. If I couldn't do that, Plan 2 was to go to the Blaze Spawner area on the ground, pillar/ staircase up and use the Snowballs. I was just wondering if anyone had any better plans or suggestions, like do I really need to use up my only god apple, should I eat a regular golden apple, etc. If it helps at all I have low-level enchanted Iron Armor and I'm using a Power 1 bow and a low-level enchanted Iron Sword. If I really needed to I could bring all my Diamond enchanted tools, but I don't want to risk losing them as diamonds are not exactly in abundance in my world. Thanks in advance.
''Snipe the wither skelly off the Fortress, continue on to the Blaze Spawner, marking my way with cobble, then pelt any spawned blazes with Snowballs.'' I believe that could work.

If this is your first time in a nether fortress and you're nervous about blazes and wither skellys I would suggest you make a new world in creative, give yourself power gear and after you find a fortress switch into survival mode then fight the mobs you find there.
This way you can gain some experience without having to risk a hard loss in your survival world

Thanks, I'll try that! I do want to be a bit skilled though, so I'm just going to give myself unenchanted iron everything.
If the fortress is far away build another portal close to the fortress. On the other side, place a bed and sleep. If you die. You won't have to run as far.

Read it again. His advice is to create a second nether portal, if his main one is a long distance away, and place a bed on the Overworld side of it in order to respawn as close as possible.
It is great of you to remind people, especially new players, that they aren't advised to place beds anywhere but in the Overworld.

How best to fight mobs in this game? Man up and do it already, that's how! Combat in Minecraft is somewhat of a joke. You've got, like, two moves. Use 'em already. Shoot them with an arrow, or hit them with an item. Preferably one that does lots of damage, like a sword, but you can use an axe or a shovel, or a raw whole chicken, or whatever you want. A sword will get the job done fastest, though.
Blazes shoot fireballs at you. To avoid them, step sideways a little bit, or hide behind a thing. Then shoot them with arrows, or hit them with your sword if they're within range.
Wither skeletons run towards you and try to hit you with their sword. To avoid this, walk backwards, or hide behind a thing. Then shoot them with arrows, or hit them with your sword if they're within range.
Congratulations, you're now a pro at Minecraft combat...
It's actually quite easy Box up the skelly spawner first, then make a box around the wither spawner, and make a 1 x 3 block along the entrance to the blaze spawn. That'll give you a farm

You can place a bed anywhere you want. It's only once you try to sleep in it that they explode.
My bad, thanks for clarifying this point. Obviously I haven't tried it personally yet!
What I ended up doing was:
The Wither skelly despawned.
I took my Power I bow and some arrows...
Turns out Blazes are a lot weaker than I thought.
Also it was an AWESOME fortress for loot, I got lots of nether wart, DIAMOND HORSE ARMOR, 7 DIAAAMONDSS, a few flint and steel, some gold and a golden sword.
And some other stuff.
Already brewed my first 2 potion batches

Do beds still self-destruct in the End?
I believe so.
And I use power V bows to kill them.
I've heard that it is possible to use this against the Enderdragon, but I've never tried to pull it off.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
