Stronghold Triangulator

Two Eye-of-Ender throws plus two F3 reads gives you the stronghold coordinates.

Opens the map centred on (-346, 546) with strongholds the only marker on — triangulation needs no seed, so type yours in on the map to see the real world around it.

How to read F3

Getting the position and yaw the triangulation needs

Throw an Eye of Ender and watch the direction it floats. Press F3 to open the debug overlay — your position reads XYZ: a / b / c and your facing reads as a yaw value (the second number after "Facing:").

Walk at least 300 blocks perpendicular to the eye's direction, throw a second eye, and read again. Plug both readings in above.

In Minecraft yaw, 0° = facing south (+Z), 90° = west (−X), 180° = north (−Z), −90° = east (+X). Negative yaw is fine — F3 reports it directly.
