      This was not a bug, I trusted too much in what I knew about Nether Portals.

      The behavior of portal placements and portal linking is weird in these new versions.

      On previous versions, if you were to place two Nether Portals with 16 blocks between each and were to treverse both, you would generate 2 Portals in the Overworld, 128 blocks apart.

      This is the minimum distance that portals in the Nether can be to not link to the same Overworld portal.

      Problem is that this isn't happening anymore.

      Even worse, sometimes I would go inside a portal in the Overworld and appear in another portal in the Nether far away from where I was expecting. In this case, the portal I wanted to go in should have generated at X: 0 and Z: 0, but it ended up teleporting me to the first portal I created to test. To stop this from happening, I started building regular portals (I usually build them in a 5x5 hollow square shape) and destroyed every portal in the test world. Just then the portal generated in the right place, but moving 16 blocks didn't create a new one in the Overworld.

       

      I even went back to 1.14.4 to test if I was interpreting this behavior wrong but it was working fine.

      Here is a screenshot with two portals, the one in the right is at the world center, the one in the left is 16 blocks in positive Z. They both lead to the same portal in the Overworld.
