How to Connect Portals in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to connect portals in Minecraft to travel vast distances in the blink of an eye? You’re not alone! This question puzzles many players seeking to master this sandbox game’s vast realms.
Connecting portals in Minecraft allows for quick travel between two points, no matter how far apart they may be. Let’s dig into how you can create your network of instant travel.
The Short Answer to Connecting Minecraft Portals
Connecting portals in Minecraft involves creating two Nether portals, one in the Overworld and one in the Nether. These portals act as gateways, whisking you between worlds when you step through them.
To ensure they connect correctly, the portals’ locations must align precisely across dimensions. The Nether and the Overworld scale differently, with one block traveled in the Nether equating to eight blocks in the Overworld. This ratio is key to linking your portals accurately.
Step-by-Step Guide to Linking Portals
First, build your Overworld portal wherever you like. Light it up, step through, and you’ll find yourself in the Nether. Now, don’t move! Note down your current coordinates.
To find the perfect spot for your connecting Nether portal, divide your Overworld coordinates by eight (the Nether scaling factor). Head to these new coordinates in the Nether, build your second portal, and voila! You’ve created a linked portal network for speedy travel.
