1. What is the Mavenspun Nether Calculator?

The Mavenspun Nether Calculator calculates adjusted coordinates for Nether portal linking in Minecraft. It uses the scale factor between the Overworld and Nether dimensions to determine corresponding coordinates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( coords \) — Original coordinates in blocks
• \( scale\_factor \) — Dimension scale factor (typically 8 for Nether)

Explanation: The equation divides the Overworld coordinates by the scale factor to get the corresponding Nether coordinates.

3. Importance of Nether Coordinate Calculation

Details: Accurate coordinate conversion is crucial for creating linked Nether portals that properly connect between dimensions in Minecraft.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your Overworld coordinates and the scale factor (default is 8 for standard Minecraft Nether). The calculator will output the corresponding Nether coordinates.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the standard scale factor in Minecraft?
A: The standard scale factor is 8 (Overworld coordinates divided by 8 for Nether coordinates).

Q2: Can I use this for other dimensions?
A: Yes, if you know the scale factor for other dimensions (like in modded Minecraft), you can use that instead.

Q3: Why aren't my portals linking properly?
A: Portal linking depends on both coordinate conversion and portal placement rules. Make sure to build portals at the exact calculated coordinates.

Q4: Does this work for Y coordinates?
A: Typically only X and Z coordinates are scaled. Y coordinates usually remain the same between dimensions.

Q5: What about portal search ranges?
A: Minecraft searches for existing portals within a certain range (128 blocks in Overworld, 16 in Nether) when creating new portals.
