Generation conditions
Minecraft divides the world into 40×40 chunk regions and picks one candidate position per region, keeping a separation of 15 chunks from the region edge. The candidate is then accepted only if the terrain at that position is suitable.
How to find a ruined portal
- Open your seed. Enter your world seed on the seed map and choose the Minecraft version your world was created in.
- Enable the layer. Turn on the ruined portals layer in the map panel.
- Pick the closest marker. Pan around spawn and choose the marker nearest to where you play.
- Copy the coordinates. Select the marker and copy its coordinates, or copy the ready-made teleport command.
- Travel there. Ruined portals are common, but the portal itself is often buried well below the surface at the marked position.
Coordinate notes
Markers are placed at the structure start position — the corner chunk Minecraft uses to begin generation — offset to the centre of that chunk. The building itself extends outward from there, so expect the visible structure to sit within a chunk or two of the marker.
