so there is this add on on the Vanilla tweaks that i always use in my survival worlds ... its aDatapack plug in that helps you with linking your nether portal which i never was able to do by myself .... and heres the link and there is a video that explains how it works (PS it works on 1.13 and 1.14)

Thank you for taking the time to suggest an improvement to the server! I have two concerns about this datapack however.

First of all, I?m not sure what the benefit would be. Calculating nether portal coordinates is simply multiplying or dividing your current X and Z coordinate by 8. (I?m also not sure how the 1:8 nether ratio works with the two different size survival worlds, or with the fact that the Nether is artificially smaller than 1/8th of Horizon). There are several guides available online, all that this does I?m assuming is display this in game. Nether portal fast travel is not as powerful on Sentinel compared to vanilla. We have access to elytra/flying, as well as warps and /tpa to travel vast distances easily.

Secondly, this would inherently encourage people to build in the nether, which is not our goal on the server. The Nether is a resource world that is periodically reset, and this would lead to precisely placed portals that would inevitably cause tantrums when they are lost.

I hope you find the guides I linked above helpful, please feel free to message me if you want more help with nether portals. Obviously I am only discussing the downsides of your suggestion, and not making a decision on whether it will be implemented!

Thank you for your information
I just thought that some people will struggle like i do with portal linking but i think you're right since sentinel is not pure vanilla the plug in would be inappropriate for the server and you have a point also that the nether resets periodically
Thanks for the guide as well <3
