Change Minecraft Nether location?

Have created a portal, but most of the time you are almost dead after entering the portal - very annoying. Can you somehow create a new one where the location where you come out is different? Does the portal have to be further away or can it be built at the same location?

As far as I know, this can certainly work if you set up your portal in a different position. As far as I know, it doesn't matter whether in the Nether or in the Overworld.

You have to build it up in a new place. No matter whether in the upper world or the Nether. But remember that 1 block distance in the Nether is 8 blocks in the upper world.

If that still works, you can dismantle the old portal in the Nether and build a new portal in the immediate vicinity, where it is safe (kp how close it has to be) …
