The Nether portal is portal that brings you to the Nether dimension in Minecraft. When you build the portal in the overworld, it automatically creates a portal in the nether, which is where you will end up when going through the portal.
If you want to try to place yourself in the best location within the Nether, use this tool to place yourself where you want. Or, if you get lost use this tool to help you find your portal location in either dimension!
When you make a Nether portal and activate it, there is a formula that is then applied to the world. This formula is what determines where your portal on the other end will appear. That means if you were to build a Nether portal in the same exact location in two separate seeds, your Nether portal location in the Nether would be exactly the same in both worlds and seeds.
NOTE: When a portal is generated in either realm, there is a chance that the portal is not exactly where it should be. This is because the game will try to avoid placing a portal in a location that is impossible to thrive in such as buried in lava, floating in air, beside an abyss, etc. In these cases, the portal is placed in a safe location very close to its original location.
There are two ways to use this tool. You can find the location of the portal when you create it when in the overworld, or you can find out where the location of the portal will be in the overworld, if you are creating a new portal in the Nether.
The results are displayed simply as coordinates, these are what you use to navigate around your worlds already so you should be very familiar with them and understand them quickly.
Our Nether portal location tool is very simple and easy to use. The steps required are:
You just got enough obsidian to make a Nether portal, this is an exciting step in the game. After building it you figure out its coordinates are X: 20, Y: 15, Z: 500. After plugging these values into this tool, you find out your portal in the Nether will be at X: 3, Y: 15, Z:63!
Now the worst case scenario has played out, you were already in the portal and your friends decided to play a prank on you. They broke your Nether portal that you made in the Overworld and at the same time a Ghast has destroyed your portal in the Nether. You begin to make a new portal in the Nether but have no idea where it will spit you out in the Overworld. Your Nether coordinates are X: 50, Y: 78, Z: 24. Using this tool you find out you will be spit out to X: 400, Y: 78, Z: 192 in the Overworld!
A Nether portal requires obsidian blocks and a flint and steel item. You must place the obsidian blocks a certain way as well.
No, 3x3 is too small. A Nether portal must be at least 4x5 and can be as large as 23x23.
You will use the flint and steel item, specifically lighting a fire on the top side of an obsidian block on the bottom of the portal. It will turn the inside of the blocks a glowing purple color, that is how you know it is done correctly.
Nether portals are not something you can find in the game by default, they only appear when you either build them or go through a newly created portal for the first time. This is because an end destination portal is always created when you go through a portal for the first time.
You can essentially make a Nether portal anywhere, but you may not be able to use it in certain locations such as being submerged in lava.
