1:1 Nether
by willocn
1:1 Nether changes the Nether so its coordinates match the Overworld, which lets players travel between the two without rescaling positions.
What it does
The mod replaces the default Nether with a copy whose coordinates are scaled 1:1 against the Overworld. Walking through a portal therefore lands a player at the same X and Z position, which can make the Nether easier to use as a route between bases. The mod encourages travel that uses the Overworld as the main reference. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and server owners install it on the server side. Files cover game versions 1.20.3 – 1.21.5, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Matching coordinates
Nether coordinates are mapped 1:1 to the Overworld, so a position in one dimension has the same X and Z in the other.
Dimension override
The mod replaces the default Nether dimension, so the change applies to the world without a separate dimension.
Overworld-first travel
Travel between the two dimensions is planned around the Overworld, since positions line up without conversion.

What the author says
This datapack makes the nether coordinates 1:1 with the overworld. Encourage using the overworld to travel! It overrides the default the_nether dimension with one that is exactly the same, but with the coordinates scaled 1:1 with the overworld. I haven't tested it with any other datapacks. I suspect it works on…
