Hi everyone, I haven't been playing Minecraft for very long, sorry, but i recently made my first Nether portal out of that blue-purple stone. so anyway when i went through the portal i died while digging up some soul sand. then i woke up next to my bed in the regular world, which is fine, but then the next time i went to the nether I walked back out and found myself in a the forest a long way from home, and nowhere near where i actually built the portal. i was lost in the woods for ages because i didn't have my compass and in the end i just decided to kill myself and i spawned next to my bed again. Am i making any sense? is it normal for a portal to reproduce itself in random places???

1. Its not called purple stone brick O-o its called Obsidian.
2. There are plenty bugs.
3. You bed might've been destroyed.
--- Case Closed, This is normal singleplayer ---
I suggest you have a map, so if your stuck outside of the world you can just find your way home.
I also suggest you keep a copy of the coordinantes so you can find your way back home. (X Y Z)

Skype: nicholas.roberts29 Thanks for chatting with me! x3
I'm making a mod-pack, that is like a minecraft server with mini-games, etc. It has fake players, (About 500 fake players). But I hope it ends out good, If you guys want it, keep giving me good idea's and support!

You should read my thread before responding instead of just wanting to sound smarter than me. there is nothing more annoying than wanting help with something and getting some guy who just wants to belittle other people by being a smarty pants instead. my bed was never destroyed, never said it was. I know its Obsidian, just forgot how to spell it. I don't want a map either, i want to know why there are two portals when i only made one. The case is not closed and you did not help at all. I found your tone towards me insulting. and ah... no offense, but you don't need to click on Quote if you are the first one to respond to my thread. thanks anyway
When you die you will always respawn at the bed you last slept in unless it has been destroyed, in which case you will respawn at your original spawn point i.e. where you first spawned when you started your world.
The relationship between portals can be complex. If you have only ever made one, you will appear in the nether at the x and z coordinates of the overworld divided by 8. Assuming the only portal in the overworld is still intact, you should end up back there when you go through the portal. However, it gets much more complicated if there are several portals or if the only portal in the overworld is no longer intact.
I suggest you try again only this time, take a compass (assuming your base is near where you originally spawned because that is where the compass will lead you) but make a note of the coordinates of each of the Nether portals you have used. Report back and we should be able to explain what has happened. This does not sound like a bug to me, just normal rather complicated Nether portal behaviour.
thank you, Lotus for your help, but i only ever made one portal, so how did the other one spawn in the forest? and why do i exit out of the nether through the one i never made instead of the one i did make?? and i didn't have a compass because i was told they don't work after going to the nether. Do you think i should just destroy the duplicate portal that i didn't make? or will that destroy the one i made as well?

It's actually possible to create a portal in the Overworld, go to the Nether, go back into the same portal in the Nether that was just created, and end up at a 2nd different portal in the Overworld.
The mechanics are like this:
The game multiplies or divides your x,z coordinates by 8 to get the desired x,z coordinates in the other dimension. Then a nether portal is found within 128 blocks of the desired location or one is created. Because of this math, portal A in the overworld could take you to portal B in the Nether, but portal B doesn't take you to portal A.
For example, portal A is at x,z 160, 160. Desired location in nether is 20,20, but a portal can't be created there exactly - so portal B gets created at 40,40 instead in the nether, let's say. Al''s good so far - since B is within 128 blocks of the desired location, right? Then you step back into B at 40,40 and the desired location in the Overworld is at 320,320. Well, portal A isn't within 128 blocks of 320,320, is it? So a new portal gets created somewhere around 320,320 in the Overworld.
To make sure A and B will be paired up properly, take the coordinates of A in the overworld, divide by 8, and build a portal B in the Nether within 16 blocks of those coordinates. In the above example, build portal B in the Nether very close to 20,20 (160,160 divided by 8.) You can see your coordinates by pressing F3 on PC or Mac.
After you do that you can destroy any portals that are in the wrong location(s)
Your compass won't work in the Nether but if you carry a compass it still works in the Overworld when you get back.

Well... thank you for that young Einstein, are you some variety of mathematician? as far as i can tell, what your saying is that i can go out and destroy the duplicate portal and my original portal will still be there. right? I was never good a maths.
This guy obviously didn't read the post. There is a feature in the nether portal that allows you to access new areas. It's actually pretty cool and I have used it multiple times to get to new areas. Did you go in the portal the opposite way you usually do when coming in/out of the nether? that would be the most obvious answer. A map would help, though.
hmm, well, i may have exited from the other direction, not sure. but i dont think so. i actually did go back through the portal and try going out the other side to see if that would take me back to my original portal entrance, but i just kept coming out in the portal the game produced.
Unless you destroy the one you didn't make, you will probably always end up back at that one but you can safely do so because destroying a portal in the Overworld will never destroy the corresponding one in the Nether or vice versa nor indeed will it affect any other portal.
When you got back to your initial Overworld portal, was it still intact and lit?
BTW I can't help thinking you rather over-reacted to DaItsNickPRO's post. You may have felt it was patronising but that wasn't the way I read it. People often knock off a reply in a hurry without thinking too carefully about the tone.
1. Thank you, that answers my question.
2. yes, it was still in tact
3. maybe, but that's the point, isnt it? i had a problem and he responded without properly considering my problem. he didnt even really touch on my objective, so why did he bother responding at all? that's really annoying. I may be new to the game but i really feel that he treated me like i was an idiot. i don't like it when people treat me like that. Im sorry if your his friend or something. Dont worry i don't report people, he can be like that if he wants, just not towards me. but yes, im willing to accept the possibility that im a sensitive girl.
Just to be clear, you will need to get the X & Z coordinates of your portal in the overworld, divide those coordinates by 8. Then go to the nether and find those coordinates and build a new portal there, then go back and break the old portal. You will of course take some obsidian and a flint and steel with you along with enough blocks to perhaps build a bridge over lava if that was the reason your original portal in the nether was moved. There are two reasons for your portal in the nether being off the intended location, there was either a large pool of lava there or a large mass of netherack with no spaces large enough for a portal.
You can actually have a portal in the Nether such that stepping in one half takes you back to the original portal in the Overworld, but stepping in the other half takes you someplace else.
Anyhow what Rodabon said - there is just really no way to make sure they are set up properly except looking at the coordinates and building the Nether portal at the proper coordinates.
"Usually" they naturally happen to be set up "pretty well", though.
To the OP, I thought the response from TheWesson was on point and very helpful. If you really want to understand the mechanics of the game, you will need to deal with some of the maths.
For everyone else, I am curious though if there was some change in the logic for Nether portal placement. I used to see videos of people spawning in midair in the Nether and have to bridge to solid land. It seems like this happens less now and there is more effort in the code to find a nearby cave or platform to the side or higher or lower than it should be by the divide by 8 rule. If so, then the scenario described by TheWesson makes perfect sense if your portal gets shifted far enough from the divide by 8 coordinates.

Spawning a portal in midair only happens if there is no suitable place in range of the relocation algorithm, which would take a VERY large lava lake. I've only had it happen once and it was actually when I was making a portal to go back to the overworld and the location happened to be in the middle of a large ocean and there were apparently no islands or caves within range to relocate the portal to.
Well... thank you for that young Einstein, are you some variety of mathematician? as far as i can tell, what your saying is that i can go out and destroy the duplicate portal and my original portal will still be there. right? I was never good a maths.
One might think that portal A in the overworld and portal B in the Nether are "linked" or that portal B is actually the manifestation of portal A in the Nether somehow, but actually they are completely independent.
Every time you step into a portal, the game just looks for the best fitting portal in the other dimension (within 128 blocks.) If no such portal exists, one will be created.
You can even use this as a (rather slow) infinite obsidian farm. As you have discovered, it is possible to have portal A and portal B set up so that stepping into A takes you to B, but stepping into B takes you to newly created portal C (which you could destroy to mine for obsidian without affecting portal A or portal B.) You could walk back to A after mining C for obsidian and repeat this forever.
guys... i love you and thank you so much for all your help, but there is something you should know. my maths sucks and i wouldn't know where to begin making calculations. all that is gibberish to me. i wish i was good at maths but nah... It looks like I'm just going to have to destroy the "duplicate" portal, and hope that my original portal continues to stand without a hitch... at the moment im digging a tunnel from an abandoned mine shaft (in the overworld) to my home. it's gonna be a long f**kn tunnel because i walked a long way to find the shaft. but when i get home again thats exactly what im gonna do, destroy the duplicate portal. one reason i didnt want to move my original portal is because i can see the Nether fortress from its position, which i hear is rare. So yeah.... nothing ever runs smoothly as you want it to right? just so you guys know as well, my nether portal stands on a single layer of soul sand in the nether, many blocks above an ocean of lava which, judging by what you have all told me, is probably why the game created another one for me. And yes, that is how i died in the first place, i dug up the soul sand at my feet just near the entrance of the portal and fell to my doom. Ouch! i had diamons on me too.... pout. teach me take diamonds to the nether, right?
If I'm understanding the issue correctly, it doesn't matter how many times you destroy the duplicate portal, it will always create a new portal in that area when you return to the Overworld instead of returning to your original portal. Good if you want unlimited obsidian, not so good re: access to the Nether.
If you want to do stuff with Nether portals, you're going to have to do math. All that's involved is multiplying/dividing by 8.
The portals are independent and destroying one portal will never cause another one to magically disappear. The game will just make a new one whenever it thinks it has to, same way it created a new one in the Nether when you made your first portal in the overworld and stepped into it.
Destroying the 'duplicate' portal (the one far away from your base in the overworld?) is not harmful but won't accomplish anything except getting you some obsidian.
If you can't/won't mess with coordinates, you could always try this:
From your current portal in the nether, go 16+ blocks over the lava ocean (cobblestone bridge) and build and ignite a new portal. Quite possibly going into this new portal will bring you to your original overworld portal, or at least be closer to it.
You might have to go as much as 112 blocks over the lava ocean to find a location that will get you to your original portal. But hopefully not that much.
Logically, over the landless lava ocean is where the game would have liked to put the nether portal, but couldn't. If you can put a nether portal there, in approximately the right location, then your problems will be solved.
Or you could post the X, Y, Z coordinates of your original overworld portal and we can tell you exactly where to build your nether portal

no no, really, im not good at maths and just wanna good easy solution. so im looking for an easy, none mathematical solution. please don't be offended.i really am bad at maths, fail every test without remorse from my teachers. i know all you guys are proably maths experts but im just not that way inclined. please forgive me....

Am I missing something here? Does it matter what side of the portal you enter? You make it sound like if you enter a portal on the other side from which you exited it, it will take you someplace else ...!?

With careful portal placement you can make each side of a portal connect to a different portal when you step in. I've never bothered to attempt it because you would need to calculate very carefully.

I'm afraid there isn't really a non-mathematical solution to linking Nether portals and Overworld portals.
I wasn't trying to act smarter. You edited your text before i even got to finish mine. Also just a response there are tons of bugs in minecraft. Also you wont find your way home with a compass lol. And you could've tried going back into the nether portal then going back home.

Am I missing something here? Does it matter what side of the portal you enter? You make it sound like if you enter a portal on the other side from which you exited it, it will take you someplace else ...!?
Mintutor now works in 1.13!
MrKite & Mc_Etlam ... I salute you!
With careful portal placement you can make each side of a portal connect to a different portal when you step in. I've never bothered to attempt it because you would need to calculate very carefully.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
I'm afraid there isn't really a non-mathematical solution to linking Nether portals and Overworld portals.
I wasn't trying to act smarter. You edited your text before i even got to finish mine. Also just a response there are tons of bugs in minecraft. Also you wont find your way home with a compass lol. And you could've tried going back into the nether portal then going back home.
