Hey everybody, it’s Unmy Cap, and welcome back to another video! Today, I’m going to show you a very cool and efficient way to travel through a world very quickly. I’m sure you’ve probably seen this; it’s called Nether Portal Linking. Basically, you can link a Nether portal to another Nether portal and travel distances quite fast. Now, before we get into it, I want to explain how this works. Eight blocks in the Overworld is equivalent to one block in the Nether. To put this into perspective, if I travel 800 blocks in the Overworld, I would only have to walk 100 blocks in the Nether to cover the same distance. You can see where this is going; it’s obviously much faster to travel a shorter distance in the Nether. I’m going to show you how to do it. This is the portal we will use for the tutorial. As you can see, if I walk through it, it functions just like a normal Nether portal. It’s quite loud, actually, but it takes you to the Nether, and if I go back through it, it takes us back to the Overworld. One thing you need to have is a Nether portal in both locations where you want to enter and travel through. I have one over here, and for this video, I’m going to place one in the spruce forest. Make sure they are relatively close on the same axis. I want to align mine around this line, so if I visualize an imaginary line here, you want to line it up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a few blocks off, but you want it relatively in the same spot—probably within a range of 16 blocks. Now, let’s go over here and make a portal in this nice spruce forest. As you can see, I’m setting up the portal and lighting it. At this step, make sure you know the distance between your two locations. I’m going to open up F3, which brings up this little overlay. In this step, I recommend you do the same: write down or find a way to copy your coordinates. I’m going to write mine down. The coordinates, as you can see, are XYZ. You want to make sure to get the X coordinate and the Z coordinate. I’m going to note down 390 for X and -83 for Z. Now, let’s travel back to where our other portal was. We need to get the two points and determine the distance we want to travel. I’m going to go here and write down these coordinates: 161 for X and -68 for Z. As you can see, the Z coordinates remained relatively the same while the major difference was in the X coordinate. Now, I’ll show this on screen. I’ve brought up my calculator. All we want to do is subtract the X distances from each other. If you’re in the opposite direction and your Z changes, you would subtract your Z coordinates instead. You take your larger number, which is 390, and subtract 161 from it, which is my smaller number. So, it’s 390 subtract 161, and that gives us the distance between the two portals. Now we’re not done. We need to calculate how far we have to travel in the Nether, and that’s really simple. Just divide the distance by eight because, as I mentioned earlier, one block in the Nether equals eight blocks in the Overworld. This means we need to travel about 29 blocks in the Nether. Now, if we go back to where I am, I’m going to simply walk through the portal. Remember that the portal is in whatever direction you want to go. I am going this way and need to travel 29 blocks that way. I’ll hop in the portal and walk out. I’m going to count properly: 1, 2, 3, up to 29, and that’s where I want to stop. I’m going to quickly create the portal here. Please note, you do not want to jump into the second portal, as it might cause disruptions when connecting. You could end up with two portals linked to the same one, which may lead you to teleport to the wrong one. I recommend not walking through the second one until you’ve linked them both. Also, be sure to light the second portal to ensure there is a working portal in range. Now, I’ll light this, walk through it, and as you can see, I walk through the exact same portal I set up at the start. So, from traveling only 29 blocks in the Nether, we’ve actually traveled around 200 blocks in the Overworld, which is pretty insane. All you have to do is create two portals and then walk through them; it’s really simple. Unlike my other videos, which usually focus on commands, I found this concept interesting. I’ve used this in my own survival world, and I thought many people might want to know how it works. I know several people who have asked about this idea; many say they know what it is but don’t know how to do it. I hope this proves useful for you. If you want more videos like this and more command tutorials, don’t forget to leave a like, check out my channel, and subscribe. It would be greatly appreciated! I can’t believe I’ve hit 3K, so thank you all for helping me get this far. Have a great day, and I can’t wait to see you in the next video. See ya!
