The distance that your new portal needs to be away from the old one isn’t terribly large, only 128 blocks, but it’s measured in terms of the destination world; every block in the Nether is worth eight in the overworld, meaning you’ll need to move around 1024 blocks or so away to keep a new portal from joining the one …
How far do I need to be from previous nether portal to activate a new one?
Overworld portals that are within 1024 blocks distance of each other on both X and Z axis are almost always going to link to the same Nether realm portal on initial construction, unless more precisely paired portals are built (see below).
What are the chances of finding a broken nether portal?
In the Nether, ruined portals with air pockets generate from Y-level 32 to 100. Ruined portals without air pockets have a 50% chance to spawn from Y-level 27 to 29, and a 50% chance to spawn from Y-level 29 to 100. Many blocks in ruined portals are replaced upon generation.
Can you move your portal in the Nether?
Yeah, just divide the overworld coords by 8 and put the portals in the right place and they’ll link up the way they should.
Can you build a second portal in the Nether?
There’s no way in hell two portals in the overworld 5k blocks apart would link to the same Nether portal. Portal linking works by dividing the overworld x and z coordinates by 8 (and retaining y unchanged), then seeking within 128 block radius from the calculated point for an existing portal.
How far apart do Nether portals have to be?
I have two nether portals that are 7 blocks apart in the nether and two overworld portals about 56 blocks apart in the overworld that all link up properly to each other. Like it or leave it. Hey, where are you going?
When do you have to move Nether portal in Minecraft?
If none is found, a new portal is created where you land. If your Overworld portals are relatively close to each other, then you’ll have to build both the Over and Nether portal yourself. When the game creates the Nether portal for you, it usually has to move it due to lava lakes and mountains.
What’s the best way to break a Nether portal?
Maybe you could make a piston water gate that makes a stream of water flow into the portal. Any non-source water will dry up in a few seconds once it has been cut off from the source. I have no signature. TnT or some other explosion is the only way to put out a nether portal without destroying the portal frame.
How far away do portals need to be from each other in Minecraft?
How far away do portals on the Overworld map need to be from each other in order to spawn separate portals in the Nether? If you want portals spawned in the Nether, then lunbook’s answer is AFAIK correct and you’ll need 1,024 meters (perhaps more due to rounding) between overworld portals to get you a brand new Nether portal.
