How to use the Nether Coordinate Calculator

Choose whether you are travelling from the Overworld or from the Nether.
Enter the X and Z coordinates of the starting location.
Use the converted X and Z as the target for the matching dimension.

Calculation

Formula and game rule

Overworld to Nether: X ÷ 8 and Z ÷ 8. Nether to Overworld: X × 8 and Z × 8. Y is not scaled.

Worked example

Example result

An Overworld base at X 1,000 and Z −800 maps to Nether X 125 and Z −100.

What to check before using the result

Decimal results identify the exact mathematical position; choose a nearby safe whole block for construction.
Portal linking also considers nearby existing portals, so coordinate conversion alone cannot force a particular link.

Java and Bedrock Edition

The horizontal 8:1 dimension scale applies to both current Java and Bedrock Edition. Portal search and placement details can vary by release.
