I have just started a new survival world, Normal mode, no cheats.
I am building my base around spawn area and have just built a nether portal.
Whenever I go to the nether it goes to the same originally generated portal but when I come back it does not come back to the same portal I made. I have tried this 3 times now breaking the automatically generated portal in the above world between each attempt and it generates a different portal each time a few blocks away from the previous one. These are approximately 140 blocks away from my original portal I created to get to the nether in the first place!

Hi Umija5895M
I am doing a new cheatless world, so cannot give you any coordinates, I f I switch them on I will no longer be able to get achievements.
It's a brand new world created yesterday and I have only made one portal and went through it as normal. If it generated in the nether in the wrong place then surely that is a bug too. I have been playing on both java and windows editions for years and am really good at linking portals and fully understand the coordinate method. I have also been very successful in linking portals for my friends on a server using maps. This has only just happened since the new 1.17 update for me. Just had the exact same problem on a server world that was updated recently to 1.17.

Hi again
Not to worry, I used a map and moved the portal in the Nether to the correct location and is working now.

You can Show Coordinates without using cheats and still get achievements. Most players use that option.
Please see the linked ticket for a brief explanation of portal linking. If you believe your issue is different, please provide exact coordinates of all of the portals and how they seem to connect.
