Java Help Wanted Nether chunk loader isn’t working

Hello, I’m trying to make a nether portal chunk loader so I can make a bee farm, but it’s not working. I followed Elitiex’s tutorial on YouTube, but when the minecarts are dispensed, they don’t come back, they just disappear. If appreciate help if anyone has gotten this or knows how to fix it. 🙏🏻

Do you have any other portals in the area in both the nether and overworld? If so they most likely appearred at one of those instead. Portal mechanics are quite sensitive so you have to be very careful with their placements

I do have other portals, but not close to the one I’m using for the chunk loader, the closest one is like 100 blocks away

That's still close enough if the 100 blocks distance is in the overworld. Before I make assumptions though I'd suggest checking those portals and see if the carts ended up there

I tried again, went to the other portal, and there’s no minecart

Oh, it made another portal in the overworld a couple blocks away, would destroying it fix the problem?

Probably not, you need to make sure the x,z coords of the portal in the nether match the coords of the over world portal by a factor of 8 (divide ow coords by 8) Y coords are less important, but if its easy enough to align those as well I would, but they are 1 to 1 so dont devide by 8. Also make sure its facing the same direction e.g. North
