How it Works
Overworld to Nether
When traveling from the Overworld to the Nether, your X and Z coordinates are divided by 8. Y coordinate (height) remains the same.
- Note your portal coordinates in the Overworld (X, Y, Z).
- Divide X and Z coordinates by 8.
- Build the corresponding portal in the Nether at the calculated coordinates.
Nether = Overworld / 8
Nether to Overworld
When traveling from the Nether to the Overworld, your X and Z coordinates are multiplied by 8.
- Note your portal coordinates in the Nether.
- Multiply X and Z coordinates by 8.
- Build the corresponding portal in the Overworld at the calculated coordinates.
Overworld = Nether × 8
Portal Tips
Fast Travel
Moving 1 block in the Nether is equal to 8 blocks in the Overworld. Use this for fast travel networks.
Linking Portals
To ensure portals link correctly, build them manually at exact calculated coordinates.
Y Coordinate
Keep Y coordinates (height) similar between portals to avoid accidental linking to wrong portals.
Minimum Distance
Portals in the Overworld need to be at least 1024 blocks apart to not link to the same Nether portal.
Common Examples
| Overworld | Nether | Note |
|---|---|---|
| X: 0, Z: 0 | X: 0, Z: 0 | World Center |
| X: 800, Z: 800 | X: 100, Z: 100 | Simple 8:1 Ratio |
| X: -1000, Z: 2000 | X: -125, Z: 250 | Negative Coordinates |
| X: 29999984, Z: 29999984 | X: 3749998, Z: 3749998 | World Border |
