Nether Portal Coords 🧭

The Nether Portal Coords datapack from Vanilla Tweaks provides an automatic and informative way to calculate and display the linked coordinates between the Overworld and the Nether.

🧠 How It Works

Whenever a player uses a Nether portal (in either direction), the datapack sends them a private message in chat showing the corresponding coordinates in the opposite dimension.

For example:

  • If you enter a portal in the Overworld, you'll see a message like:

    [Nether Portal Coords] Suggested Nether coords: X: 120, Z: -35
  • If you enter a portal in the Nether, you'll see:

    [Nether Portal Coords] Suggested Overworld coords: X: 960, Z: -280

This is based on Minecraft's 1:8 coordinate ratio:

  • 1 block in the Nether = 8 blocks in the Overworld (X and Z only)

The datapack does this math automatically for you and only shows the message to the player using the portal.
