Simple Stronghold Finder

A client-side Fabric mod that determines stronghold coordinates with just one throw of an Eye of Ender.

How It Works

This tool utilizes the algorithmic principles of Eye of Ender behavior in Minecraft Java Edition. In the Minecraft world, strongholds generate in concentric rings around the world center (X=0, Z=0) following a specific distribution pattern.

Stronghold Placement Structure

The world contains 8 rings with a fixed number of strongholds:

Location Detection Algorithm

1. Eye Trajectory: The program tracks the Eye of Ender's flight path, recording two key position points with an interval to ensure accurate trajectory mapping.
2. Intersection Calculation: Determines the eye's movement line and calculates its intersection with stronghold circle placements.
3. Grid Alignment: Calculated coordinates are adjusted to the nearest 16×16 block grid point, since strongholds are always aligned to this grid.
4. Accuracy Assessment: For each potential location, an accuracy score is calculated reflecting the probability of a stronghold being at that position.
5. Result Sorting: The top 5 candidates with the highest accuracy are displayed in the in-game chat with coordinates for both Overworld and Nether dimensions.

Example Output

After activation, information appears in the chat:

=== One Eye Stronghold Finder ===
X: 1234   Z: 5678   (Nether: X: 154   Z: 710)   accuracy: 95
X: 1240   Z: 5680   (Nether: X: 155   Z: 710)   accuracy: 90

Displayed data includes:

• Overworld Coordinates: X and Z coordinates
• Nether Coordinates: Calculated values for portal travel
• Accuracy Score: Likelihood estimate of stronghold presence (0-100)

Usage

1. Hold an Eye of Ender in your hand
2. Throw it as usual
3. Wait for the results in the chat
4. Follow the provided coordinates to the nearest stronghold
