I made another portal in the middle of everything. I don't think it should mess with any other portals, but if you're getting interference, that might be it.

Yeah, now my home portal takes me to your nether portal. :lol: I moved my nether portal to the exact x and z coordinates of my home portal, but when the game looks for a nether-side portal I guess it takes the y coordinate into account as well. So, previously my portal went to SageJiraiya's portal, which was higher, and now it goes to yours, which is even higher.
I don't know why portals are so laggy for you. Does it help to turn the render distance down before you go through them?

the next diamond I see will be the First.
I've access to obsidian, but no way to mine it.
that, and I'm a bit intimidated by the math to build and properly locate Portals in the first place.
with my luck, I'd portal into a lava pit.
:(
Neko_Ali:
Nether portals aren't that exact a science, unfortunately. Sure they're good if you want to travel long distances quickly. But you have to deal with ghasts, lava lakes and other random nastiness.
snalin:
You just take your coordinates of the portal in the overworld, divide by 8, and you get where the nether portal should be. It's not exact, because the algorithm that looks for matching portals is a bit wonky (and probably based on chunks rather than direct coordinates), but it's a pretty safe bet.
Ghasts are bad, lava lakes are much, much worse.
by the way, to the one of you living in the desert: I went by to forage some sand, hope that's cool. Tried to grab it from the edge of the desert, far away from your stuff.
LTK:
Ghasts have terrible aim. A lot of the time the fireballs will go right over your head. You can also shoot the fireballs to deflect them, and if your aim is good you can kill a ghast with two arrows, and occasionally with just one. Lava oceans are a right pain (I accidentally fell into one when exploring a new nether fortress and killing blazes. You don't want to know about all the things that burned up.) but there's usually a path over or around them if you need to portal there.
In my experience, if you just divide your coordinates by eight and place portals at both ends, your portal connection will work exactly as it should. It is extremely easy. I just made the mistake of ignoring the Y coordinate in portal placement, which makes the overworld-nether connection a bit wonky because of all the nearby portals.
