Step-by-step guide

How to use the Portal Coordinate Calculator

Record the X and Z position of the portal you already have or plan to build.
Select its dimension and calculate the matching target coordinates.
Build the second portal as close to the target as terrain and safety allow.

Calculation

Formula and game rule

A Nether block corresponds to eight Overworld blocks horizontally, so divide Overworld X/Z by 8 or multiply Nether X/Z by 8.

Worked example

Example result

A Nether hub portal at X −75 and Z 240 corresponds to Overworld X −600 and Z 1,920.

What to check before using the result

Nearby portals can capture a link even when another portal has mathematically matching coordinates.
The Y level does not scale, but choosing a practical height may improve travel safety and portal placement.

Java and Bedrock Edition

Both editions use the same coordinate ratio. Always test the final link in the exact edition and release used by your world or server.
