Linking Nether Portals.

I have a problem: If I make a Nether Portal in Base 1, then go into the Nether and back, I will come back out in Base 1. This is good. If I then make another portal in Base 2, then go into the Nether and back, I come out in Base 1. I think I should come out in Base 2, where I originally came from. To fix this, I propose a system where, upon creating a portal in the Overworld (Portal A) I should arrive at the same co-ordinates in the Nether. If I make another portal in the Overworld (Portal B) one block away from Portal A, then this second portal should appear 8 blocks away (In the nether) from Portal A. Also, if I make two portals in the Nether (Portal C and D) that are 3 blocks apart, they should both appear as one portal in the Overworld (as they are in the same 8 block radius in the nether, which equals to a 1 block radius in the Overworld). This will solve my problem, as (for example) if I created two portals in the Overworld (Portal 1 in Base 1 and Portal 2 in Base 2), 64 blocks apart, they appear 4 blocks apart in the Nether (1 Overworld block = 8 Nether blocks). Portal 1 in the Overworld/Nether will always return to its counterpart in the opposite dimension, and so will Portal 2. Its a little hard to wrap your head around, but it should make working with portals so much easier:) Please vote for my idea of you agree, Thanks!

    I suggest you to search in Youtube for "portal linking science" the portal linking is quite logical but has a few quirks. You can't place the portals exactly at the mathematical location because the portal would very often be in bad places like the lava ocean and fully covered in netherrack (I learnt it the hard way developing a mod which has this feature). When your two bases are far from each other they won't interfer with each other (I think 128 blocks in the nether) and you can trick the portal logic to make a one way teleport vertically and a little bit horizontally what I find useful, too (I use it to connect my mines with my base)
