I wasn't sure where to put this or anything. I know how to make nether portals, but what I want to know is how to place them so that certain portals in the world correspond with a portal in the nether, not that all portals go to the same place, or one portal makes a totally new portal somewhere in the world. If I have my nether portal placed at approx. x:173 Y:124 Z:130, where can I place it in the nether to ensure that those two portals will connect?
So there is no way I can make say a portal in my house that goes into the nether, and then if i go blocks away create another portal to link to a different spot independent of the first? Basically I have one nether portal in my house, and then a bit aways i have one further in the sky; i want to be able to reach my piece of land in the sky without a ladder or such mucking up my view.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the ratio 8-1 or is that just the pc version. I haven't done to much on the xbox version and i was just wondering. If it for sure is 3-1 than i'm guessing it's because of the size limit for the worlds. if that changes in the next patch than i'm positive it will change to 8-1

Yeah, that seems right.

I have about a dozen portals built inside the nether and in the overworld.... No matter which portal I enter I end up in the same exit portal and vice versa
As McGizmo says above.
Plus, - there is a proximity feature. If your new portal is "too close" to the original pair you used to access the Nether, the system will get confused and send you back to the original overworld portal pair. In other words, you cannot create a "portal hub" in either the overworld or the nether.
Rather, you create a portal pair in the overworld, travel to the nether, travel a significant distance across the nether, build a new portal in the nether and when you return to the overworld, you will have traveled 3X the distance you travelled in the nether, in the same direction.
I think SkunkMarine may be wrong .. you can build portals that way you want .. you have to obey the coordinate 3-1 transformation, keep some distance between portals and build portal pairs in nether and overworld and (that is the important point) remove all automatically generated portals.. at least someone was claiming that it works that way. Sadly i can't find that thread :|
Ah found them .. have a look into these threads for how to match portals:
x:58 y:41 z:43
will make a portal in the overworld
x:174 y:123 z:129
which is pretty close to
x:173 Y:124 Z:130
Yeah, that seems right.

Thanks for saving me some time, McGizmo.
