Lost in the Nether land and can't find portal to return?

My son has lost his portal in his Netherland and he's unable to return to his creative world. I've tried to type in /kill but it's not accepting this code.

He's playing on his Samsung tablet. How do we get back?


Solution 1:

You can change the game mode for this world to survival temporarily. I'm doing this on the Windows 10 Editon now, but the android version of the game should work the same.

  1. In the main menu, tap Play
  2. Tap the pencil icon next to your son's world.

    Edit World Button

  3. Set the world to survival by tapping Survival

    Changing Gamemodes

  4. Enter the world and take a hot bath in lava. Respawn in the overworld, rejoice, and quit to main menu again.

  5. Repeat steps 1-3, only setting the world back to creative this time.

This is assuming that your spawnpoint is close to where you want to be in the overworld. In any case, finding your sons builds in the overworld should be easier than locating a nether portal in the nether.
