The Nether and the End

The permanent Survival Nether and End, their 20,000-block size, how portals map to the overworld, where you can claim and how to reach them with random teleport.

The Nether and the End are permanent Survival worlds, each 20,000 x 20,000 blocks (-10,000 to 10,000 on X and Z). Like the overworld they never reset, you can claim land in them, and PvP is off. See The Overworld.

The Nether#

FactValue
Size20,000 x 20,000 blocks
ResetNever
ClaimingAllowed. Claims count toward your total. See Claim Limits
Reach itA Nether portal in the overworld, or /rtp nether
CoordinatesThe overworld is 8 times larger: overworld X and Z divided by 8 give the Nether spot

Random teleport to the Nether picks a spot between -10,000 and 10,000 and lands you on solid ground below the bedrock roof. /rtp nether-resources goes to the Nether resource world instead. See Resource Worlds.

The End#

FactValue
Size20,000 x 20,000 blocks
ResetNever
ClaimingAllowed
Reach itAn End portal in the overworld, or /rtp end
ArrivalA fixed spot at the centre, at height 100, adjusted to the nearest safe place within about 20 blocks
LeavingThe End exit portal takes you to your respawn point, your bed or spawn

Random teleport to the End picks a spot between -10,000 and 10,000, on the surface of an island. /rtp end-resources goes to the End resource world.

Portals#

Portals only work in the three permanent worlds; in a resource world they do nothing. No portal is built where you arrive. See Portals and World Travel.
