I managed to get to the Nether. I found a Nether Fort pretty close to my portal. It took me some time, but I cleared it out. There were two stairways with Soul Sand. Neither of them had Nether Warts.
So I am stuck - unable to make any potions because I don't have Nether Warts.
I have read a lot online - it says I need to travel North-South from one Nether Fort to find another. I have been trudging on for more than 500 squares from my first Nether Base looking for another - zero luck.
How can I get Nether Warts? Or better yet, how can I find another Nether Fort? What is the typical distance between Nether Forts?
Anything anyone can post to help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you playing in single-person world or on a server with others? When I played in multi-person I also found the nether wart was all gone from 3 separate fortresses so I had to beg a start (you only need 1 piece to start multiplying it) from another player.
If you are in single-player world I have never seen this problem so must be a glitch of some sort, But get the world seed (type /seed ) and create a CREATIVE MODE world with same seed. You can then fly around safely and hunt some up elsewhere then go back into your survival world and go get it.
I just purchased Minecraft about two weeks ago.

Thank you in advance.

I am playing single person.
Thank you. I never thought of doing anything like a /seed and CREATIVE MODE.
My seed is: -3237873852328793804. I can only find one Nether Fort. Maybe I'm just an idiot.
Looking at the Seed world, it shows there WERE Nether Warts in the one Nether Fort in my world. I must have died and lost them.
Using Amidst, there seems to be a distinct lack of fortresses to the north of origin and quite a gap to the next row to the east.
I found fortresses at
80, Y, 144
-336, Y, 144
and, according to Amidst there should be ones at approximately
-140, Y, 400
-120, Y, 600
170, Y, 400
150, Y, 600
You can use "/locate Fortress" to find the position of the nearest fortress.
Just testing.
Hexalobular,
Thank you so much. For multiple things...
One, for giving me some other locations.
Two, for assuring me - my seed may not be 'normal'. This is my first rodeo.
Your "Lack of fortresses to the North" is assuring. I have spent the last few days trying to go north and getting no where.
