Getting Potion of Fire Resistance in practice

Fire resistance comes from magma cream, which you either craft from a slime ball and blaze powder or take from a magma cube in the Nether. It is the potion that makes a lava dive survivable, so brew it before an ancient debris trip rather than after the first close call.

What to watch out for with Potion of Fire Resistance

Brew fire resistance before the debris trip, not after the first fall. Magma cream comes from magma cubes in the Nether or from a slimeball and blaze powder at home, and the second route means a slime farm turns into a permanent supply of the potion that makes the Nether safe.
