Build the portal in the Nether at

Exact conversion: X 125 · Z -300
/execute in minecraft:the_nether run tp @s 125 70 -300
The game looks for a portal within 16 blocks (Nether) and 128 blocks (Overworld). Build the portal at the calculated spot and they link correctly.
Distance between two places
How many blocks two places in the same world are apart. Travelling through the Nether is eight times shorter.
Place A
Place B
- Horizontal (X and Z)
- 1,442.2 blocks
- Straight line (X, Y and Z)
- 1,442.2 blocks
- The same trip in the Nether
- 180.3 blocks
How to link Nether portals
Under “I'm in the”, choose the dimension where your portal already stands and enter its X, Y and Z coordinates. In game you'll find them on the F3 screen.
Read where to build the portal in the other dimension. X and Z are divided by eight into the Nether and multiplied by eight back out, Y stays and the result is rounded down to whole blocks.
Walk to the calculated spot, or teleport there with the copied /tp command if you're an operator. Build an obsidian frame there and light it.
Go through the new portal and back to check it leads to your original one. If you come out somewhere else, another portal within range is closer.
About this tool
This Nether calculator converts coordinates between the Overworld and the Nether and tells you where to build a linked portal.
Enter X, Y and Z in one dimension and get the exact spot in the other (in the Nether X and Z are divided by eight, Y stays the same), a ready /tp command and the distance between two places in both dimensions.
Handy for nether highways, fast travel and fixing portals that lead somewhere they shouldn't.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about this tool.
How do I convert Overworld coordinates to the Nether?
Divide X and Z by eight and keep Y the same. Going from the Nether back to the Overworld, multiply X and Z by eight. The calculator does it for you and rounds to blocks.
Why does my portal take me to a different portal?
The game searches for an existing portal around the converted location (128 blocks in the Overworld, 16 in the Nether) and picks the closest one. Build your portal exactly at the calculated coordinates and it links correctly.
Does the Y level matter?
Y isn't converted, but the game takes it into account when choosing the closest portal. For portals close to each other it helps to keep them at a similar height.
How do I teleport to the Nether with a command?
In chat, type /execute in minecraft:the_nether run tp @s X Y Z; for the Overworld use overworld instead of the_nether. The calculator builds the command with the converted coordinates. You need operator rights or cheats enabled, and from the server console replace @s with a player name.
