Bedrock Nether Portal Calculator

A nether portal calculator set up for Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile). The coordinate math is the same as Java, but Bedrock searches a much bigger area in the Nether.

Overworld
Nether

Build your Nether portal at

100 / 70 / -13

Overworld X and Z ÷ 8, rounded down. Y stays the same.

What is different on Bedrock?

On Bedrock, the game searches 128 blocks around the target in both dimensions. In the Nether that covers 1,024 Overworld blocks in each direction, so portals that would be separate on Java can link to the same Nether portal on Bedrock. Space your Bedrock portals further apart.

Finding your coordinates on Bedrock

Open Settings → Game and turn on Show Coordinates. The position shown in the corner is the block you stand on; use it with the calculator.

How to use the bedrock nether portal calculator

  1. Turn on Show Coordinates and stand in your portal.
  2. Type the coordinates in the Overworld or Nether box.
  3. Build the partner portal at the result. On Bedrock, keep it closer to its partner than any other portal is.

Is the Nether ratio different on Bedrock?

No. It is 1:8 on both editions. Only the search area and some height limits are different.

Can I build a portal on the Nether roof on Bedrock?

No. On Bedrock the Nether ends at Y 127, so portals must be below the roof.
