Lightweight and simple mod for finding the nearest stronghold in your world!
Note that this mod requires Fabric API to be be installed and present inside the Minecraft mods folder.
How to use it
For versions 0.1.0 and above:
- Look straight down and throw an eye
- Move a good distance away from your first throw (the longer the better)
- Look straight down again and throw another eye
- A message should appear in chat with the coordinates of the stronghold
For version 0.0.6 and below:
- Throw the first eye
- Look straight at the eye and type /logpos in chat (to get it perfect a zoom will help)
- Move to another location (the further away the better)
- Throw the second eye
- Look straight at it and type /logpos yet again, a message with the coordinates should appear in chat
Disclaimer: The location displayed in chat depends on how well you performed the steps above. If the distance in between throws is too short the approximation will not be as accurate. The same goes when looking at the eye in previous versions. If you are not spot on the angle will not be right and thus give the wrong stronghold location.
