How Coordinate Conversion Works

๐ŸŒ Overworld to Nether

To convert from Overworld to Nether coordinates:

  • Divide X coordinate by 8
  • Divide Z coordinate by 8
  • Y coordinate remains the same (but note Nether height limits)
Formula:
Nether X = Overworld X รท 8
Nether Z = Overworld Z รท 8

๐Ÿ”ฅ Nether to Overworld

To convert from Nether to Overworld coordinates:

  • Multiply X coordinate by 8
  • Multiply Z coordinate by 8
  • Y coordinate remains the same
Formula:
Overworld X = Nether X ร— 8
Overworld Z = Nether Z ร— 8

Tips & Important Notes

๐Ÿšช Portal Linking

When building Nether portals, use these coordinates to ensure they link correctly between dimensions.

๐Ÿ“ Distance Calculation

1 block traveled in the Nether equals 8 blocks in the Overworld, making it great for fast travel.

โš ๏ธ Y Coordinate

The Nether has a height limit of 128 blocks (Y=0 to Y=127). Plan your portal placement accordingly.

๐ŸŽฏ Precision

Portal linking has some tolerance, but for exact positioning, use these calculated coordinates.
