Minecraft Stronghold Finder

Triangulate the nearest stronghold from two Eye of Ender throws, or estimate one from your world seed.

Throw 1
Throw 2

Press F3 in-game to read your X, Z and facing angle. Throw an Eye of Ender, press F3 immediately, and copy the values here.

Estimated stronghold

Go to
7, ~30, 7

Dig down around Y=30 to find the stronghold rooms. Strongholds are typically 200–500 blocks across, so the End Portal room may be near, not at, this coordinate.

Tips

  • • Move at least 200 blocks between throws for an accurate triangulation.
  • • Throw eyes from elevated ground so they don't bounce off walls.
  • • Bring 12 Eyes of Ender minimum: ~4 for tracking, 8 for the portal frame slots that aren't pre-filled.
