(Along the Y axis, though X and Z can be off too. It seems like it's always above or below the gate I was trying to come back through.
I've had this happen very infrequently, but occasionally it does and I've stepped out of a new gate in a dark ravine or out in the countryside. If that happens, you may need to do more research to determine what's going wrong. Huh, it didn't work?! I believe there are some rare cases in which the gates might not hook up like you expect.
Build your return portal at the coordinates, step through and with any luck you'll be back at the portal you built initially. Etc, etc, etc.there's so much to be afraid of in the nether. If you aren't careful not only will it burn you up, it'll destroy your drop after you've burned up! CAREFUL!) Did I say LAVA? (There's an enormous amount of lava. G-H-A-S-T fireballs will wreck your day! (Bring cobblestone to reinforce any bridgework you do.those flying marshmellows aren't friendly!). With the 1.16 release there are a lot more hostile creatures to threaten you while wandering!. Mining related falls are really easy if you are moving quickly. I still get caught by very fast moving lava when tunneling in the nether. Again, be careful, the nether is more challenging to navigate than the overworld. Explore to the coordinates from the calculator. Use the first 10 obsidian to build a nether portal (economical version) and step into the nether (cautiously). If you only provide two coordinates (such as 100,300) they'll be used to populate X and Z. Note: you can either plug the coordinates in one at a time -or- as a comma separated list (for example 100,66,300). Plug them into the calculator (if you can have a browser open in the background it's quick to switch between the browser and the game without needing to disconnect). (Hint: See the F3+I Parser notes for more.) Hit F3 while in the game and collect your X, Y, and Z coordinates. Go to the place you want your return portal to appear. Collect 20 obsidian blocks and create a flint and steel using the recipe. (Hooray, arithmetic and basic algebra really is useful after all. It seemed like a quick calculator to translate coordinates based on which side of the gate I was plugging in might be helpful andĬould help provide a mathematical proof while performing the calculations mentally takes hold.Īs a web developer, I thought building the calculator using JavaScript and HTML might be a fun little project! I know I know, this isn't new knowledge it's just that I had not seen the math clearly articulated on pages found by searching at the time.Ĭalculator to translate between the overworld and the nether I could then activate it with my flint and steel and with any luck it would attach to the gate I came in from. If I had carried at least ten obsidian and flint and steel with me, on the nether-side of the gate, I could explore to X/8, Y, Z/8 and then buildĪ return portal at that location. This was fine, but when I walked back through it, my X and Z were nowhere near the gate I entered from-instead I came back to their homesteadĪnd then had to scramble across the landscape at night, a long, long way trying to avoid mobs and hazards it was a frightening journey.Īs it happens, what I needed to do was determine my X,Y,Z coordinates before stepping through the original portal. I built a portal from my home at X,Y,Z and stepped through only to land in a portal room built by someone else in the nether. It's not uncommon to materialize in an unexpected location when stepping through a nether portal. Nether portals make traveling across the overworld much faster, but if you are playing in a world with other players who build gates You can use this quick calculator to find where to build your return gate for it to be connected as a pair between the nether and the overworld. The game minecraft is seriously fun! When you have played long enough to be at a stage where you are building nether portals It includes an experimental parser for extracting XYZ from a string like the one produced by F3+I.
