Stronghold
How to throw
- Throw an Eye of Ender and keep your crosshair on it while it floats.
- Press F3 + C: the game copies your position and the exact direction you are looking at. Paste it in Throw 1.
- Walk sideways, at a right angle to the direction of the eye, for at least 200 blocks. The further, the more precise.
- Throw again, press F3 + C and paste it in Throw 2.
No F3 + C? Type X and Z from the F3 screen, and as angle the first number in brackets on the "Facing" line.
Where strongholds can be
In Java Edition the 128 strongholds sit in rings around the world centre (0, 0). A result far from every ring usually means a throw was not precise.
About this tool
How do I find a stronghold with two Eyes of Ender?
Throw an eye, look at it and press F3 + C. Walk sideways at least 200 blocks, throw again and press F3 + C. Paste both here: where the two directions cross is the stronghold.
How far away are strongholds?
In Java Edition the first ring of strongholds is 1,280 to 2,816 blocks from the world centre. There are 128 strongholds in 8 rings.
How accurate is it?
It depends on how far apart the throws are and on the angle between them. The finder shows an error margin in blocks; throws far apart and at a wide angle give the best result.
