Minecraft tools / Portal coordinates

Nether portal coordinate calculator

Enter your X and Z, choose the dimension you're starting from, and get the matching coordinates on the other side.

Updated September 27, 2026

Which way are you going?

Overworld and Nether only, at the default 8:1 scale. Check the height, terrain and nearby portals before building. No Sift conversion.

Divide by 8 going in, multiply by 8 coming back

From the Overworld to the Nether, divide X and Z by 8. From the Nether to the Overworld, multiply both by 8. Overworld X 800, Z −400 gives Nether X 100, Z −50. Leave Y out of the calculation.

Why does my portal link to the wrong one?

Nearby portals can affect which one you link to. Use the result as your X/Z target, then check the other portals and choose a safe height in-game. The calculator doesn't read your save or guarantee the link.

Decimal results keep the exact calculation. The tool uses the default 8 to 1 scale and doesn't support custom dimension scales.

Does it work for The Sift?

No Sift coordinate scale has been announced. If you're playing a Sift mod, check the creator's rules before applying Nether maths.
