Why does this nether have to be so big and hard to find a fortress I've spent literally hours trying to find one and cannot. Please go back to the way the old nether operated and everything was actually able to be FOUND I seriously hate the biomes the fact that everywhere I turn I fall and die and worse then that, it's impossible to find one and this isn't fair for the people who get the worse spawn and don't know where to go in the nether and gets lost even while having taken a screenshot of my coordinates this update sucks and should not have been put in the game I miss old minecraft nether it was so much more comfortable and compelling then this one.....
Nether fortresses may have been made rarer in the 1.16 update, but they still aren't that difficult to find if you know how to. You can't expect to always get a lucky spawn; progression often requires dedicated exploration.
Fortresses are more likely to spawn on the positive side of the X-axis, so the best way to find one is to travel due north or south while keeping your X-coordinate positive. If you come across a lava sea, use a warped fungus on a stick and ride a strider across it. If you stumble upon challenging terrain, consider mining through the nether ceiling, just below the bedrock. If you come across a "wall," just mine through it until you expose another section of the Nether. Big, open areas are the most likely places to find a fortress, but remember they can also generate partially embedded in netherrack.
As a last resort, if your spawn really is as terrible as you say and you are struggling to traverse the Nether, then head back to the Overworld, travel a few thousand blocks in another direction and set up a new portal for a clean slate.
I'm not sure how you can get lost if you have recorded the coordinates of your portal, since not getting lost is the point of doing so.
