What is a nether calculator?
A nether calculator converts coordinates between the Overworld and the Nether using the 8:1 ratio.
It helps you link portals and travel long distances faster in Minecraft.
Overworld to Nether coordinates
Divide your X and Z coordinates by 8.
Y stays the same.
Nether to Overworld coordinates
Multiply your X and Z coordinates by 8.
Y stays the same.
Example conversions
| Overworld | Nether |
|---|---|
| 800, 64, 0 | 100, 64, 0 |
| 1600, 70, 80 | 200, 70, 10 |
Why this works
In Minecraft, the Nether is a compressed dimension.
One block in the Nether equals eight blocks in the Overworld.
This is why portals connect using this ratio.
