I have built a mob grinder in Minecraft, 200 blocks into the air. Obviously, in a Survival World, getting up and down the can be difficult, and ugly.
I have attempted to use the "two portals – one teleport" idea; that is, build two Nether Portals in the same chunk, and you can use them to travel between two point is the Overworld. However, I cannot get this to work – I have had mixed results.
I have tried building the two portals 150 blocks away from each other (one at y=50, the other at y=200), light one, and enter the nether, to establish the link, then light the other one. This has given me mixed results. Either:
- A third Nether Portal spawns in a separate location (as if the first portal was broken)
- I only reappear out of the first Nether Portal, regardless of where I enter.
Is there a way to use two Nether Portals as a form of "Elevator"?

Yes, but you'll need to make the portals yourself
Firstly, break all the portals you have currently.
Secondly, in the overworld, make your first portal and note down the co-ordinates, but divide the X and Z axis by 8, leaving the Y axis the same.
Then, go to the nether in that portal, break the nether portal, and build another one at the noted down co-ordinates, if the portal is not already at that location in the nether.
Now, you can go back to the overworld. Build your second portal somewhere else, and note down the co-ordinates in the same way as I described earlier. Light it, then go back to the nether in your first portal. Do not enter this portal yet!
Build another nether portal at the co-ordinates you just noted down, and if you did everything correctly, going through that portal should take you to the overworld.
