Minecraft 1.16 Nether Fortress Location/Generation

The new Nether update has been released.
I am asking about what is known about how the generation of nether fortresses will've been affected by this update.
My old strategy for quickly locating a nether fortress was to travel in the x direction as one is most likely to appear this way.
I've launched up multiple worlds and have attempted to use that strategy but it is to no avail - I often travel thousands of blocks without finding one.
What is the most efficient way to now locate nether fortresses in Minecraft 1.16? Are they significantly rarer? Is it inevitable that on runs of Minecraft I'm pretty much always going to have to travel thousands of blocks for them?
Best Answer
There are infinite nether fortresses in the nether. They spawn in rows every 200-400 blocks along the world's North/South axis. Once you find the first one, just keep walking north or south from it to find another
Hope this helps

Nether Fortresses are more likely to spawn on the positive side of the X-axis, therefore moving north or south while keeping the X-axis positive is the best way to search for them.Where is the fortress in the nether 1.16 5?
Nether Fortress bridges can be found poking out over lava ocean. Bridging straight over the lava ocean helps players discover Nether Fortresses. When creating a nether bridge, use cobblestone or a block with higher blast resistance to stay safe from ghasts. Never use netherrack blocks for bridging in nether.How to Find a Nether Fortress in Minecraft (All Versions)
