This thread is 3/4-vanilla and 1/4-modded (meaning I'm using a Mod Pack). So mods, please move this thread if it needs to be moved, to its correct category.
I'm trying to get the Nether Portal below my house, to port me back into it when I leave the Nether.
Now here's the thing. Before, I used to have this and it worked, for my cave. Now I'm moving to an actual house. So I'm setting up my Nether Portal and light it, jump through. Jump back and I wind up through the portal that's in my cave.
So I remove that portal, then head back to my house and go through it again. And since then when I come back, it creates a portal about 100 meters from my house, instead of going back to my house.
I have tried the following to fix it;
- Removed the portal it created in the Overworld. But it just re-creates it when I port back.
- Removed the portal in the Nether (removed a single block), then re-created it.
- Removed the portal in the Overworld, then re-created it.
- Removed all of my DIM* folders, thinking it was reading the data from the "from cave to Nether" portal.
But nothing is making the return trip from the Nether, back to my house. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is the map "bugged out"?

You need to move the nether portal closer to the matching coords of your overworld portal. If your nether portal is not within 128 blocks to your overworld portal's respective nether coords, they won't link. As an example. If you over world portal has x,y,z (8, 64, 8) in the overworld. It has x,y,z (1 64 1) in the nether. Say your nether portal is at (130, 64, 1) It is over 128 blocks away from your overworld portal, so it makes a new one when you jump through.
Solution: Divide the coords of your overworld portal by 8 to find it's nether coords. Then move the nether portal to within 128 blocks of those coords. That should fix your problem. For best results, put your nether portal in the exact nether coords of your overworld portal.
Find the coordinates of your portal when standing inside it in the overworld. Divide those coords by 8 (Y dont matter) and place your portal at the result coords in the nether.
As Minecraft_Physics said, the solution is simply to build the portal yourself in the correct location. Note the coordinates of your overworld portal in all three dimensions (x,y,z). Then divide only the x and z coordinates by 8, but leave y the same, to determine the equivalent nether location (x/8, y, z/8). Bridge or tunnel your way to these exact nether coordinates and build a portal there. If done correctly, this should link up properly with the overworld portal every time, regardless of which "direction" you are traveling, or any other portals which may exist nearby.
Try carefully entering the Nether portal from either side.
I have a portal that did the same thing, created it in one spot, went to the Nether, came back in a different spot a good deal away. That was weird, but I discovered that I could enter the Nether portal from one side and go home, and if I entered the same Nether portal from the other side, it sent me to the wilderness portal. It works reliably like that.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
