MCPE-127685New Nether portal spawned when going back to the OW
When I went through a Nether portal back to the OW, I ended up in a desert that I didn't recognize. I thought I was lost, but when I started exploring, I finally found my house. I think this may be what happened: I went through the original portal right outside my house, then when I came back, it opened up a new portal farther away. The original one is still in the same place. Note: I did not build any new portals in the OW, the new portal that appeared was not there before.

Seed changed while entering Nether portal
When I was going back to the Overworld through a Nether portal, it said "Building terrain" while loading. This only happens when I create a new world. When it was done loading, I ended up in a desert that I didn't recognize. I didn't build a new portal, all I did was go back through the portal that I had gone in multiple times. This had never happened before. Then, I checked the world settings and the seed was completely different! My original seed was "Dream" but it changed to "66295779" and I don't know why.
Notes
- I was playing on a LAN world with one friend.
- I lost almost all of my items and blocks, except for the stuff in my inventory (I left mostly everything at my house).
- After I exited the Nether portal, I went back to the approximate coordinates that my house was at, but it wasn't there.

- For a few seconds after going in the Nether portal, I was only able to see a few blocks because the surrounding chunks didn't load yet. Then it said "Building terrain."

Update: I was able to find my house, not far from the portal. I think this may be what happened: I went through the original portal right outside my house, then when I came back, it opened up a new portal farther away. The original one is still in the same place.

Thank you for the screenshots. Based on the coordinates, I am going to resolve this report as a duplicate of
MCPE-39609. On that ticket you will find and explanation of how portal linking works.In your case, if you move the nether-side portal a few blocks in the +X and/or -Y direction and then break the newer overworld-side portal, it should send you back to the portal by your base.

well whenever you type any letters instead of numbers in the seed box it automatically changes to a number but honestly i dont understand how you ended up in a desert in the middle of nowhere first nether portal in a minecraft world will sync 100% of the time but overall i dont know im no expert
Your seed did not change, 66295779 is the numeric equivalent of “Dream” in the way Minecraft interprets seed strings.
Does
MCPE-115933describe the rest of what happened? Did you have coordinates turned on in game settings, or were you just judging house location by distance from the portal?@[Mod] GoldenHelmet - Yes, coordinates were turned on in game settings. Also, I updated my post with more information.
Thank you for updating the description. However, I am still not clear on the coordinates. Did the nether portal send you to roughly the same coordinates in the overworld that you were at in the nether (
MCPE-115933), or did it convert the coordinates but still send you to a different portal than you had gone to the the nether through (MCPE-39609)?@[Mod] GoldenHelmet - I added screenshots and more info.
