Coordinate Distance

How far apart two points are, which way to walk, how long it takes — and where the portals go.

Coordinates

Two points, in whichever dimension you're standing in

Portal linking

Both points converted at the 8 : 1 scale

Full portal calculator

Both points converted from the Overworld to the Nether. Build the destination portal at these coordinates and keep every other portal outside the 16-block search radius so the pair links cleanly.

Y is never scaled. The Nether's playable space is 0–127, so cap Y before you dig.

Frequently asked questions

Metrics, bearings and Nether coordinate conversion

How is distance measured in Minecraft? +

Block distance is calculated using 3D Euclidean distance between two coordinate points, where each block is 1 meter.

How long does it take to walk 1000 blocks in Minecraft? +

About 3 minutes 52 seconds at default walking speed (4.317 m/s, per minecraft.wiki/w/Walking), or about 2 minutes 58 seconds sprinting (5.612 m/s, per minecraft.wiki/w/Sprinting). About 30 seconds at elytra-with-rockets cruising speed (~33.5 m/s, per minecraft.wiki/w/Elytra).

Is travel faster in the Nether? +

Yes — 1 block in the Nether equals 8 in the Overworld, so a Nether highway is 8x faster for long-distance travel.

How do I convert my coordinates to Nether coordinates? +

Divide the Overworld X and Z by 8 (multiply by 8 going the other way) and keep Y the same. The calculator above does both directions for the From and To points at once.
