How far apart do two portals need to be in the normal world in order for the second one to create a new portal in the Nether?
I have a main portal in my castle which goes to one portal in the Nether. So I ventured south 1000 tiles distance to find uncharted chunks to get the new stuff to generate and decided to put another portal up. But it took me to the same portal as the castle one does.
How far do I have to go in order to get it to work?
I thought it was 16 chunks = 1 chunk in the Nether. Or maybe it was 8. Either way, 1000 tiles is 62 chunks from my home castle. I would think the game would have created a new portal for me.
What gives? Obviously this is a bug. Technically, placing two portals in the Nether 16 tiles from each other should create two portals either 128 (if 8) or 256 (if 16) tiles from each other.
Kinda sad since it still takes a while to walk 1000 tiles so my new mine for finding blue ore is useless unless I walk there all the time.
The game will search 128 tiles out in the nether for a pre-existing portal to link to before it gives up and generates a new one, so at least 1024 blocks in the normal world. >_>
