Stronghold finder (end portal)
No way to know the seed of your world? No problem, your beloved friend "Math" got you. Throw two eyes of ender, write down where you were and which way they flew. Where the two lines cross, we will find your stronghold.

How to use it
- Stand still and throw an eye of ender. Put your crosshair right in the middle of the eye while it floats in the air. Press "F3+C" and paste the result into the "Throw 1" box. Before 1.13 there's no F3+C: type your X and Z, and the first number of the "Facing" line on F3.
- Walk at least 200 blocks sideways, at a right angle from where the eye flew (not towards it!), and do as above for Throw 2.
- When you're close to the coords the tool will give you, throw one more eye: if it flies down, the stronghold is right under you. Dig down (not straight down, please).
Questions
My two eyes point in different directions!
Eyes always fly to the nearest stronghold. If you're halfway between two of them, your eyes could pick different ones and the lines won't make sense. Walk a bit further one way and throw again.
How precise is it?
It should point you to the right chunk or to a nearby one. The eye points at the corner of the chunk with the stairs (or at its middle before 1.19). A tiny aiming error of 0.1° can move the result by tens of blocks if you're far away. To get more accurate results, throw the eyes farther apart.
Will my eyes break?
Each throw has a 1/5 chance of breaking the eye.
Where are strongholds, anyway?
Since 1.9 there are 128 of them, in 8 rings around 0, 0. The first 3 are 1,216 to 2,880 blocks from the center. Before 1.9 there were only 3, between about 450 and 1,350 blocks.
Does it work in the Nether?
Nope, eyes of ender only fly in the Overworld. What you can do is use the Nether coords the tool gives you to get there faster, then come back up and throw another eye.
