I believe the two portals in the overworld have to be under 128 blocks apart total and also should be at least 8 blocks apart horizontally. I just used some simple 3D coodinate math and built the one in the nether at the midpoint.

    yeah, that’s exactly it.

    I personally like doing a much less impressive, but maybe more useful trick, putting one portal at the very base of a tower, and putting another at the top, while arranging the nether side to only connect to the top. you go in the bottom, go straight back through the nether side, emerge at the top.

      Yeah I knew the other way worked but I had no idea you could link 2 to 1 and back again, gonna have to play around with this now with a bigger portal and see if you can link to 3 maybe… I always assume it just took the lower corner of the portal as the linking coord but it must use your actually position

        I got the idea from someone on YouTube making a secret base where if you crouched and stood on the edge of a portal in the nether it would link to a different portal than if you were just standing in the center.
