1. What is Minecraft Triangulation?

Minecraft triangulation is a method used to locate strongholds by throwing Eye of Enders from two different positions and calculating where their trajectories intersect.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the triangulation method:

Where:

• \( \theta_1 \) — First throw angle (degrees)
• \( \theta_2 \) — Second throw angle (degrees)
• \( d \) — Distance between throw positions (blocks)

Explanation: The calculator determines where the lines from both throw positions intersect, which should be the stronghold location.

3. Importance of Triangulation

Details: Accurate triangulation saves time when searching for strongholds and helps players locate the End Portal more efficiently.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

1. Throw first Eye of Ender and note the angle it flies
2. Move at least 100 blocks in a perpendicular direction
3. Throw second Eye of Ender and note its angle
4. Enter both angles and distance between throws into calculator

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this method?
A: It provides a good estimate, but may need refinement as you get closer to the stronghold.

Q2: What's the minimum distance between throws?
A: At least 100 blocks is recommended for accurate triangulation.

Q3: Can I use more than two throws?
A: Yes, using more throws from different positions increases accuracy.

Q4: Why do my Eyes of Ender sometimes drop?
A: They have a chance to drop instead of breaking, especially at closer distances.

Q5: What if the Eyes go in opposite directions?
A: This means you're roughly between two strongholds. Choose one direction to follow.
