How To Link Nether Portals?
Nether portals in Minecraft are a vital part of the gameplay, allowing players to travel between the regular world and the Nether. Properly linking Nether portals can make navigation much easier and more efficient. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to link Nether portals on PS4, Xbox, and PC versions of Minecraft.

Step 1: Building the Nether Portal
The first step is to build the Nether portal in both the Overworld and the Nether. To build a Nether portal, you need obsidian blocks and a flint and steel to ignite it.
PS4: Place 14 obsidian blocks in a rectangular shape of 4×5, then light the portal.
Xbox: Similar to PS4, place 14 obsidian blocks in a rectangular shape and ignite.
PC: Follow the same steps as PS4 and Xbox to build and ignite the portal.

Step 2: Calculating the Coordinates
It’s crucial to calculate the coordinates of both portals to ensure they link correctly. In Minecraft, Nether coordinates are divided by 8 in the Overworld.
PS4: Press the touchpad to view coordinates.
Xbox: Press the map to view coordinates.
PC: Press F3 to display coordinates.

Step 3: Linking the Portals
To link the Nether portals, align the coordinates of both portals correctly. Make sure the Overworld portal coordinates correspond to the Nether portal coordinates divided by 8.
PS4: Enter the Nether portal in the Overworld and exit to check if it leads to the corresponding Nether portal.
Xbox: Follow the same steps as PS4 to test the linkage between portals.
PC: Repeat the process on PC to ensure the portals are correctly linked.
