Nether Portal incorrect location teleport after nether "reset" via 3rd-party tool.
Resetting the nether using a third party tool is the cause of the issue. Deleting the nether does not remove the portal links because you've directly modified the game data. In order to get new portals created in the nether you have to delete the nether-side (DimId: 1) portal entries.
Use of third party tools for world editing is not supported or recommended.
I updated my world and deleted my Nether and uploaded the map to Realms. When going from the Nether to the Overworld the portals link up. When going from Overworld to Nether the portals aren't linked and it teleports me and doesn't make a new portal. It also teleported me into a lava lake.

Relates to MCPE-84937
The issue is the portal data is stored separately from the chunk data so you have to delete the portal data in order to remove the ghost portal
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response
Please provide as much information to help us try and reproduce the issue. It might be that the portals are working as designed, but that you need to reposition the portals for them to work as you would like. (It might also be an issue with modified worlds as described at MCPE-84937.)
If you can provide the world seed and the coordinates of each portal that you are having issues with (both overworld and Nether) it would help us to to try and reproduce the issue.
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Jay: the issue here is similar to MCPE-84937 and MCPE-84772. World generation changes between versions so exit portal locations will not necessarily be the same. Furthermore, the bug tracker does not support any world editing done with 3rd-party tools.
If you want to discuss the issue & the mechanics you can ping me on the Mojira Bug Tracker Discord.
Mega_Spud asked for a copy of an affected world. Although I can explain what happens, I can't provide a world or reproduce the bug at-will.
I am going to re-resolve this report as duplicate of MCPE-73179 and update that to be a parent for ghost portals that occur through normal gameplay. It's easy to make them with 3rd-party editors (MCPE-84937) but that's not a bug in itself.
The reproduction steps given above by in the comment by Hyrum require using a 3rd-party editor to "delete the overworld chunk," so that is not a valid way to reproduce ghost portals being created during normal gameplay. Ghost portals resulting from the use of 3rd-party tools are covered by MCPE-84937. What is reported here is ghost portals occurring during normal gameplay.
The original description relates a ghost portal being created as a secondary consequence of MCPE-98789. Another report, which I have resolved as a duplicate of this one, describes a ghost portal occurring in conjunction with lag on a server. It should be possible to reproduce that, but it would be hard to intentionally reproduce at-will. Essentially, you have to get the game to fail to update or save portal data when it updates/saves the chunk(s) from which the portal tiles and obsidian were removed.

I get that using a Third party tool was going to be an issue. However, last time the Nether updated I was able to reset the Nether. I was optimistic about the Nether having a reset again. When I found out it didn't, I took matters into my own hands.
This happened in a copy of my realm that I was in the process of converting, luckily it was a creative copy and I found a safe portal to use to get in and rebuild my netherside portal
This same issue is happening for me on 1.16 Java Edition. I have a multiplayer server that is hosted on ggservers so it is a "third party" but I do not now how I would reset the links otherwise.
I found a fix not a easy fix as I just spent all the time running through portals. I used the same program to wipe the portals. If I was a smart person I would have been able to figure out which portals were which. I went through the portals from the Nether side broke the new portals and they finally linked up. Some put me in weird places, like under my ones friends base in a spider dungeon.
Making a portal in the over-world and then going to the Nether, Leaving you stuck with out a portal to get back was happening in 1.14. Deleting the portal records list does fix the issue, if you had deleted the Nether using Mcctoolchest. or World Painter.
This is happening in my realm as well. We deleted our realm world when 1.16 came out and created a new world in 1.16. I haven't used any third party tools. The portals don't link correctly.
I have not touched my realm with third party tools. I generated the realm almost a year ago but hardly played it. I definitely never generated the nether. I started playing again since the update. My recent experience with the nether was short as My portal spawned near a bunch of angry hoglins. I went back through and was spawned in a random location in my overworld. If this is a bug you are going to blame on third party tools then I guess I’m canceling my realms subscription.
This has happened to my singleplayer world in Java Edition.
How do I delete portal entries?
I rebuilt the portal I am having trouble with. Now I am being dropped. The portals I dont have an issue were my old ones before the reset. I even rebuilt both sides.
And if 3rd party tools are the problem then whare do I get the one you offer?
As the note says, using third-party tools is not recommended - in fact I think this bug should be resolved as invalid, but let the staff decide.
However if you wish to delete portal data use the following steps - to my memory I had to delete all portal data for it to resolve. This will not delete the portal blocks themselves.
MCC ToolChest:
Universal Minecraft Editor (UME):
Please note that after deleting the Nether, the Nether Fortress data from the previous Nether will still be carried over, i.e. Wither Skeletons, Blazes will spawn in the same location where a Fortress once was. This is also probably not supported by the bug tracker.
If you are experiencing portals not linking up correctly even though you have never used a 3rd-party tool, you are likely not affected by this bug and in fact you are doing it incorrectly - when you go from the Overworld to the Nether, the game will search for another portal within 128 blocks of the pre-calculated spawning position. It is also 128 blocks the other way around, so if you have a portal at 0, 0 Nether, a portal at 450, 300 Overworld will link to it because divided by 8 is around 56, 38 Nether, less than 128 blocks.
Alternatively the game will try to spawn a portal at the nearest valid location, so a portal at 0,0 Overworld can spawn one at 80, 60 Nether if everything from -79, -59 to 79, 59 is blocked (unable to spawn portal "safely"), which is why when you go back you will end up at a new 640, 480 Overworld portal.
A detailed write-up by a mod of this incorrect linking is done in
MCPE-39609andMCPE-96247.tldr, resolve this "bug" by deleting all portal data, if your portals still arent linking correctly and/or you have never used 3rd party tools you are probably doing it wrongly
Also note that Mojang does not offer a Nether "reset" alternative, but if you want Mojang to add one there is a feedback post for it
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
The server you are playing on is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
