i have some questions about the nether and portals and all that jazz....
In my survival world i found a mesa and a snow biome far away and i want to place a portal to it... both of these biomes are West of spawn in the Overworld but how do i know what direction to go in the Nether?
how do is determine this...
if you want a portal to a snow biome do you have to place it high up in the nether? (not sure... don't judge, testing a theory)
If you have any questions about the Mysteries of the Nether please leave a post
If its west in the overworld, its west in the netherworld.
Gauging distance is a little harder, however, since there are no coordinates in the game yet. Even harder for you since you're in survival mode and can't just whip up a glowstone tower as high as it will go. If you could do this, build a tower and back away from it in the direction of your mesa until it is just about to disappear. Build another and another until you reach the mesa. Estimate that each tower is about 100-ish blocks from the last. Also, mark each tower to show which number it is. This will help pinpoint your nether portal.
Do maths: Number of towers x 100 / 8 = distance in nether.
Go into the nether and travel the distance and direction in the nether that you calculated. Build a portal. Come out, look around. If you see your mesa, good deal. You can rebuild your portal closer to it and, if its not more than about 100 block away, it will connect to the existing portal in the nether. If it is, go back to the nether and recalculate.
Of course, this works OK in creative. You will need to get "creative" in survival to figure it out.
Shows you how much Win10 version I play lol. We have two xbox and if they are taken, I have to resort to my last option, my laptop I will be going on a road trip soon so I'll have more time, although not everything is available thus I play it the least
