How It Works
Overworld to Nether
Nether X = Overworld X ÷ 8
Nether Y = Overworld Y
Nether Z = Overworld Z ÷ 8
Nether to Overworld
Overworld X = Nether X × 8
Overworld Y = Nether Y
Overworld Z = Nether Z × 8
Portal Alignment Offset
How It Works
Travel Ratio (8:1)
Every 1 block traveled in the Nether equals 8 blocks in the Overworld. This applies only to the X and Z axes. The Y axis remains unchanged between dimensions.
Portal Linking
When you enter a portal, the game searches for the nearest existing portal within 128 blocks in the destination dimension. If none is found, a new portal is created at the calculated coordinates.
Pro Tip
For perfect portal linking, build your Nether portal at the exact coordinates shown by the calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Divide your Overworld X and Z coordinates by 8 to get the Nether coordinates; the Y coordinate stays the same. Enter your values in the calculator above and it does the math for you instantly.
Yes, the calculator is completely free and requires no account. You can convert coordinates as many times as you like right in your browser.
In the Nether, one block of travel equals eight blocks in the Overworld. This 1:8 ratio means short trips through the Nether cover large distances in the Overworld, making it a fast way to travel.
Build your Nether portal at the converted coordinates that match your Overworld portal. This calculator shows the portal alignment distance so you can confirm the two portals pair up instead of accidentally creating an extra one.
