Netherportal Linking Behavior Affected

Description

Possible Nether portal linking issue with Sable enabled

I’m seeing behavior where vanilla Nether portal linking appears to choose the higher Overworld portal even when a lower portal is closer by Euclidean distance.

Example setup:

• Source Nether portal: (-288, 118, -48)
• Higher Overworld portal: (-2304, 194, -395)
• Lower Overworld portal: (-2304, 193, -384)

When traveling from the Nether portal at (-288, 118, -48), the game links to the higher Overworld portal at approximately (-2304, 194, -395), even though the lower Overworld portal at approximately (-2304, 193, -384) should be closer.

Calculated distances from the expected Overworld target:

• To higher Overworld portal: 77.47 blocks
• To lower Overworld portal: 75.11 blocks

Expected behavior:
Vanilla portal linking should choose the closer portal, which should be the lower Overworld portal.

Actual behavior:
With Sable enabled, the Nether portal links to the higher Overworld portal instead.

Troubleshooting performed:

• Breaking/disabling the higher Overworld portal allows the lower Overworld portal to work correctly.
• Re-enabling the higher Overworld portal causes the link to prefer the higher portal again.
• Disabling Sable appears to restore expected vanilla portal-linking behavior.

This makes it seem like Sable may be affecting portal POI selection, portal distance calculation, or the way candidate portals are prioritized.
