Overworld ↔ Nether Coordinate Converter
Enter a coordinate on either side to see the automatic conversion between the Overworld and the Nether. Find the destination portal location, copy the ready-to-use /tp command, and check presets for known coordinates.

The Nether is 8× smaller. To align portals, divide X and Z from the Overworld by 8 to get Nether coordinates.
Y is not converted. Place portals between Y 64-100 in the Nether to avoid bedrock (Y 127) and lava (Y below 32).
The game searches for existing portals within a 128-block radius in the Overworld or 16-block radius in the Nether before generating a new one.
The End dimension uses its own scale and does not follow the ÷8 rule used between Overworld and Nether.
Traveling 1 block in the Nether equals 8 blocks in the Overworld — use this to travel large distances quickly.
To guarantee a link between two portals, build the second one inside the detection radius of the converted coordinate.

Enter your X, Y, and Z coordinates in the Overworld and the tool automatically calculates the equivalent position in the Nether — and vice versa. The rule used by the game is always the same: divide X and Z by 8 when going from Overworld to Nether, and multiply by 8 when going from Nether to Overworld. The Y axis does not change.
The "Destination Portal" section shows the exact position where a Nether portal will generate for your
current coordinate, as well as a /tp command ready to copy and paste into the game chat.
Why don't portals always match up exactly?
Minecraft searches for an existing portal before generating a new one: a radius of 128 blocks in the Overworld, or 16 blocks in the Nether. If it doesn't find one within that radius, it creates a new portal at the converted coordinate — which is why small variations of a few blocks are normal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert Overworld coordinates to Nether coordinates?
Divide X and Z from Overworld by 8. Y does not change between dimensions.
Does the Y axis change when traveling to the Nether?
No. Y is the same in both dimensions, but the Nether has a bedrock ceiling at Y 127 in older versions.
Why doesn't my coordinate match the existing portal exactly?
The game looks for an existing portal within a 128-block radius in the Overworld or 16-block radius in the Nether before creating a new one.
