Minecraft – How to find North and South in the Nether

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I have been trying for days to find a Nether Fortress. I've looked up different ways on how to find one and I happened to stumble upon an answer that might help me.
The question he asked
was just what I was looking for. Someone answered him and said, "There are infinite nether fortresses in the nether. They spawn in rows every 200-400 blocks along the world's North/South axis."
I don't even know how to find the North/South axis. I'm on bedrock edition and all I can see are coordinates. And, I'm pretty sure you can't use a compass in the Nether, so what do I do? And how do I find the North/South cords?

Turn "show coordinates" on. Then just move around. The negative Z direction is North and the positive Z south.

Selector arguments are in a key=value format, so you'll need to add x=, y=, and z= before the values.

You'll also need to specify a radius (r) from those coordinates to select players within.

The following command should work:

gamemode s @p[x=44.70,y=63.00,z=31.49,r=1]

The 128 blocks distance shows where where the game searches for existing portal to link to. The number is the same in the overworld and in the nether, but there is an important consideration when calulating the result. One block in the nether corresponds to 8 blocks in the overworld. So by moving 128 blocks in the overworld you moved only 16 blocks in the nether. This is still less than 128 so the game finds the existing nether portal and sends you there. To move more than 128 blocks in the nether and force a new nether portal, you need to move at least 1024 blocks in the overworld. Frankly, depending on your gear it could be easier to just walk in the nether.
