In order to to the nether you need a portal.
You will need 14obsidian if you are going to place obsidian on the corners of the portal, but if you fill in the corner of the portal with other blocks, then you will only need 10.
Unfortunately, you can't because you need Obsidian and in order to get that, you need a diamond pickaxe to mine the Obsidian.
You need the following:LavaWaterA diamond pick axeFlint and steelEither find some naturally occurring obsidian, or pour water onto a lava pool with a bucket to create obsidian, then mine it with a diamond pickax. You need 10 blocks of obsidian to make the portal.Create a square frame 4 blocks wide by 5 blocks tall using the obsidian. The corners do not need to be obsidian for it to work.Set the inside of the frame on fire, preferably using a flint and steel.If the inside of the frame turns purple, then you have a Nether portal! Stand in the purple portal block for several seconds and you will be transported to the Nether (unless it's disabled on a multiplayer server). Portals in the Nether will return you to the Overworld.You can see more information in the Sources and related links section, below.By the way rarely when you go back you come out somewhere random.
You must first build a portal with obsidian. Obsidian is made by pouring water NEXT to a source block of lava so the water flows into the lava. Be careful not to pour the water directly onto the lava. You will want to make a mould out of cobblestone to make it easier to get the obsidian where you want it. If you mess up the obsidian will take a while to be mined, so be careful. This is a very hard idea to explain so this model should help.O = Obsidian_ = Open SpaceOOOOO_ _OO_ _OO_ _OOOOOLike I said, this is very confusing, but after some trial and error, you should get it right. After the portal is made, you must use flint and steel to light an obsidian block. Once lit, the open space will turn purple and when you step inside your view will begin to swivel and a loading screen will appear. After loading you will be in the Nether. To leave, simply step back into the portal.Tip: The corner blocks don't have to be obsidian. They can be cobblestone, dirt, empty space, whatever. So you only need 10 blocks of obsidian to create the portal.
