Minecraft Coordinates & Distance Calculator
Convert between Overworld and Nether coordinates, get the distance and direction between two points, and find the chunk and region file of any block. Enter coordinates straight from the F3 screen.
Overworld ↔ Nether coordinates
Overworld
Nether
Type on either side and the other updates instantly. One block in the Nether equals 8 blocks in the Overworld. Y (height) stays the same.
Distance and direction between two points
From (current position)
To (destination)
Pasted coordinates fill in the "From" fields.
Chunk & region
Linking Nether portals
Horizontal distances in the Nether are 1/8 of the Overworld: divide X and Z by 8 to go to the Nether, multiply by 8 to come back. To link two portals, build the Nether portal at exactly the converted coordinates. If another portal is within range, the game may link to that one instead, so keep portals at least a few hundred blocks apart in the Overworld.
Direction and yaw
In Minecraft, south is +Z and east is +X. The F3 "Facing" yaw is 0° when facing south, 90° west, ±180° north and −90° east. Turn until your F3 yaw matches the number shown and walk straight.
Chunks and region files
A chunk is 16 × 16 blocks; chunk coordinates are block coordinates divided by 16 (rounded down). Region files hold 32 × 32 chunks and live in world/region/r.X.Z.mca — useful when you need to reset or back up one area of a world.
FAQ
Does Bedrock use the same math?
Yes, the 8:1 Nether ratio and the 16-block chunks are the same. Region files are Java-only.
