Method one: Minecraft wiki

Method two, from a post I refound that I made in February. (Note this was before world height, but I still think it applies as portals above 128 are derpy.

Portal mechanics time! (From what I remember)

You are in overworld. You enter portal at X, Z. Game looks for the nearest portal around X/8, Z/8 in the nether within a 257x257x128 area. If there is none, it kinda guesses, and places one in the best looking spot.

You are in the nether. Similarly, You enter at X,Z. Game looks for nearest portal around 8Z, 8Z in the overworld within the same 257x257x128 area. Again, guesses.

If there are two portals for "nearest" (same x and z), I think it takes the top one. Or the bottom one. Either way, it stays consistant.

Note how funky the scaling works with the 257x257 area. Two overworld portals 2000 blocks away can potentially link to the same nether portal, while two nether portals over 32 ish blocks from each other can't link up to the same overworld portal.
Also lets you pull strange and neat tricks, where the two different sides of the 2x3 portal (left v right) can actually lead to different places.

To get a pair of portals correctly working, build a portal in both the nether and overworld at the exact coordinates (Overworld is 8x coordinates of nether), to ensure that they see each other as the closest portals, and so form a proper link.

I will help you get connected correctly when I log on later. As for sand gens I noticed night made one for the residents of Sailors retreat. It is almost within sight of where you settled but I cant remember what direction. I will point you out to that as well.

Oh if your not on when I log on I will just go ahead and fix it for you.

No need about the portal Qwip (I got Dee to fix it) but thanks anyway.

Altho, if you want to show me where SR is, I would be welcome to listen.
