Nether Portal Coordinates

World mechanic

Nether Portal Coordinates

One block in the Nether equals 8 blocks in the Overworld on X and Z; height is not converted.

Rules

Overworld to NetherX and Z are divided by 8. Y stays the same.
Nether to OverworldX and Z are multiplied by 8. Y stays the same.
World borderA converted position outside the destination's world border is moved to the nearest spot inside it.
RoundingThe converted position is rounded down to whole blocks. Negative values round away from zero, so -0.5 becomes -1.
Exit positionThe converted position is only where the search for an exit portal starts. The traveler arrives in the portal that is found or built, at the same relative spot as in the entrance.
