Can't Use OUR Nether Portal?


Recommended Posts

We can enter our nether portal but for some reason whenever we return through the portal in the nether it makes a brand new portal instead of sending us back to our made portal.

 

I tried switching the nethers portal with regular (not chiseld) obsidian and vise versa with our portal but it just keeps making a new portal instead of using ours to send us back :( are we doing something wrong?

 

also can someone post a guide link here so i can learn how to combine mod packs? id like to have tekkit combined with aotbt ... if possible for my server.

 

all help is appreciated. ty for reading

It's a vanilla minecraft thing. In order to ensure a portal connects to the one you want it to connect to, the coordinates in the nether are 1/8th of the X and Z coordinate in the overworld (Y doesn't matter...usually) and in the nether, if a portal is 128 blocks away from other portals, when it attempts to go to the overworld, it'll create a new. Similarly, a portal in the overworld 1024 blocks away from any other portal would create a new one in the nether.

 

You can see this done in a lot of large vanilla minecraft servers where a nether hub is created, as it is often the case people are closer than 1024 blocks together and thus their portals would connect to each other unless this method is done.

does it also need to be the same obsidian? or does the type not matter (normal vs obsidian from chisled)
