I made a nether portal in my original world. I got to the nethers and built my house 39 blocks high from the first portal. After i built my nethers house, i created a portal in there so i dont have to go down 39 blocks to get to the original world. After i made it and went through it, i found myself on a ice lake and a world of snow and sand(of course its other minerals but it was sand mountains very high). Explored it and its defiently not my world. Has this happened to anyone else??

Umm, split this into paragraphs and maybe add commas, and try again.

I didn't quite understand...

great... and i re-worded it so its easier to understand. Its just weird.

That's how the nethers work. As posted above, 1 block of walk distance in the nether = 16 in the real world.

So it's not surprising you popped out elsewhere. That's your world, just a vastly different part of it.
