It's all about the math. You need to hit the coordinates pretty accurately and if there is another portal nearby the vertical can matter as well.

We can help you work it out, what are the coordinates of your overworld portal?

As Flash said above, it's all in the math. Horizontal distances in the nether are 1/8 of distances in the overworld, while vertical distances remain the same. If you have an overworld portal at 1600, 800, height 70, the ideal nether portal location will be 200, 100, height 70. If there are no other portals anywhere near you in either world, the horizontal coordinates are the only ones that really matter, but if there is a lot of stuff around (or you expect there will be in the future), you really do want to get as close to an exact match as possible. When I build my overworld portal, I often try to make sure I'm building at coordinates evenly divisible by 8, just to make life as simple as possible.

Hey I was just wondering if there was going to be an expedition to slay the dragon? I've never done that.

El Senor Dragon has died. Apparently of natural causes aggravated by loneliness. :x Well that, plus a few arrows.

Has he? Thats sad, I thought we had not taken him out yet and Snidely was looking forward to the challenge.

We could make a new map and it would have a new dragon!

I think we took him out 1-2 weeks after the server came up. Was an organized weekend event.

Has anything been built in The End? If not, I can reset it so you can fight the dragon again.

I remember that on the previous server, and we had the egg at spawn, but we have no egg this time around and I dont recall we ever planned it..

I will visit the end tonight and see what I can find.

Nope, nothing built. Great idea Stevo!

I would be pretty stoked about a dragon slaying quest, I remember hearing about you guys doing this before I played Minecraft and it sounded awesome. Also, I am excited about the prospects of a map reset

Might as well reset The End and fight the dragon again.

Looks like they've pushed the release of 1.9 into 2016, so a good reason for a full map reset will still be a little ways away.

It appears the Dragon is dead. We could get Stevo to reset the End so we can plan an event. Ice198 wants to build an Enderpearl farm so if we can get Stevo to do the reset that would be great.

Talk about quick service :-D Thanks, Stevo!

JD - you want to wrangle an event for it this weekend? Might be one of our better opportunities, given the holiday coming up and people likely being increasingly busy. I should be able to help out if you want, with organization or prep or whatever.

I might be mixing up servers in my mind or something, but I could swear we just had an egg shrine or something this time around. Maybe I'm thinking of Feed The Beast. Anyway, new raid time!
