[MC-59630] New Nether Portals shunt player into walls instead of where portal is created in survival

Created a portal in the Overworld which formed in the Nether(as two portal frames intersecting at the corner of the obsidian frame), but going through the portal for the first time in survival lodged me in solid stone and suffocated me. Going through the second time in creative brought me to the portal that was created in the nether without incident. I later created a portal in the Nether(as pictured) which created the portal shown in the Overworld photo also included, but going through it emerged me into solid stone far below it, as shown in the picture. I dug out the stone in creative and climbed out. As you can see from the image, the Overworld connecting portal was never activated when it was generated from the Nether.

Did you create or open this world in 14w26a / 14w26b or is it a new world created in 14w26c ?

Christopher Carrig 2014-06-29T21:15:43Z

The world was created in the snapshot using a preexisting seed number. I
think it was created in 14w26b.

Can you re-test by creating the same world in 14w26c ? In 14w26a / 14w26b the saving of certain blocks was quite broken what could lead to issues like yours.

Christopher Carrig 2014-06-29T21:22:44Z

Will recreate and return to the same coordinates in 14w26c. I'll respond
with the results.

Confirmed to still shunt into a wall even with a new world in 14w26c. Used
the same location for the first nether portal and had the same result. I
took a screenshot of where it place me in the nether.

And this is where the initial portal was placed that teleported me into
solid rock in the Nether. Investigation of the area in creative(the portal
was made in survival) revealed no portals created in the Nether at all, and
the surrounding area was solid Netherrack.

I've ran into this bug as well. First time, I was playing Hardcore, I appeared in a solid wall, and suffocated. Unfortunately, I didn't back up my save, so I was unable to figure out what had happened.

Second time, I was playing another hardcore world with seed -217512581. Backed it up this time. Built a portal at my base near (-100, 70, 400) Appeared in midair and plummeted into a lava sea. Restored backup and built a portal at (0, 63, 0) Appeared in a solid wall, and managed to dig out enough of a hole not to die.

Recreated the world in creative, and created a portal near (0, 63, 0), and once again appeared in solid stone at (0, 58, 0). Found an unlit portal above me in a safe place. Killed myself and created a portal near where my base would be. Emerged from a portal at a safe location near the sea of lava mentioned above.

Recreated the world in creative again, and created a portal near where my base would be. Reappeared in midair again above the sea of lava at coordinates (-12, 70?, 50) and after flying out of the lava, saw an unlit portal in a safe location, same location as the one above. Went to (0, 63, 0) and created a portal, and appeared safely in a portal right above where I had emerged.

edit: was snapshot 14w26c

Nils Gruendemann 2014-07-03T08:21:17Z

I can confirm this bug.

Though originally a 14w26b world, I used the MCEdit*uncorrupt-chunks-filter and updated to 26c and then 27b without experiencing any problems. Hadn't been to the nether up to that point either. When I went deeper just now, I nearly suffocated in the netherrack. Couldn't find a portal, though it probably was "somewhere". Dug out to the surface and created a new portal to go back to the overworld, then suffocated in solid blocks. Respawned, went back through my original nether portal and spawned at the portal I had just built in the nether. Took the same one back to the overworld, where I landed in solid blocks again. Dug out in time and dug upwards. Came out to the mountains, where my items were scrambled all over the place - near an unactivated nether portal. Activated it, went through - voila, back at my portal that I built in the nether.

Did the version get rolled back from C to B? My games no longer load in C.

There was no 14w27c.

Christopher Carrig 2014-07-03T20:35:46Z

Are you sure there wasn't? You asked specifically whether I created the
world in 14w26c.

@Christopher:

14w26c was last weeks snapshot

The current snapshot is 14w27b.

Also, I can confirm that it still exists in 14w27b. Redid the experiment above, and had the exact same experience. Amusingly, the addition of rabbits has greatly altered initial animal spawns. The old snapshot was rather sparse in cows, and I had to travel very far to coax two to my base. In 14w27b, my base had a huge herd of them. ^_

HOWEVER, it seems to be seed specific. I tried another seed, and it didn't happen. Portals were generating like normal.

Alexander J Shalifoe 2014-07-09T19:09:36Z

I encountered this bug in 14w28a as well. I ended up spawning in deep within a wall about 10-20 blocks away from the actual nether portal.

barrett nichols 2014-07-11T19:19:55Z

I just had similar problem in 12w28b. created portal, went to nether, came back through to being buried underneath portal. hardcore mode. luckily dug myself out. portal two blocks in front and 2 high above where I was buried, unlit. went back through nether. came back and game spawned a second portal right next to first generated one in overworld also unlit. almost suffocated to death. quit, went to MCedit, spawned me outside of portal in stone directly underneath second portal... none of which were original portal I created in overworld.

barrett nichols 2014-07-11T19:22:49Z

this is how the portals are being created in the overworld by the game. both times buried underneath. if it is strictly portal location math that wouldn't be a huge deal. the fact portals aren't lit, and you spawn in blocks is probably not how the game should work, especially in hardcore mode o.O

jw69420 2024-06-09T16:54:23Z

This bug has happened to me as well on my Realm in version 1.20.81. My nether portal and its platform is right above a lava lake. Sometimes, when I leave the nether I spawn in the lava underneath this platform instead of spawning on the obsidian blocks of the portal... I've died several times to this bug. This is a game breaking bug and is unacceptable
