REALMS-3097Nether portals not linking properly
On my realm I have with my friends, we are trying to link up nether portals so we have one at the world spawn, one at my base which is 300 blocks away from world spawn, one at the stronghold which is 700 blocks away from world spawn, and my friend has one that is 1200 blocks from world spawn, all in completely different directions. I have never had issues with linking up portals before but now the world spawn portal is connected to my portal which are 300 blocks away from each other and my friends portal is connected to the stronghold portal which is around 1000 blocks from his portal.

Hi Joseph,
This is expected with portals so close together. Unless your portals are more than (I believe) 1024 block away in the overworld they will link to an existing portal rather than creating a new one. You need to link manually in these situations (there are a ton of good videos and references on the internet that explain how).
All the best.
