Quick answer: Follow an Eye of Ender
Previous advancement: We Need to Go Deeper
How to get Eye Spy
- Craft Eyes of Ender: combine Blaze Powder (from Blaze Rods farmed at a Nether fortress) with Ender Pearls (from Endermen, Piglin bartering or cleric trades). Craft at least 12.
- Throw an Eye of Ender and walk in the direction it flies. It has a 20% chance to shatter per throw, so throw sparingly: walk several hundred blocks between throws.
- When the eye dives into the ground, the stronghold is below. Dig down carefully (never straight down: use a staircase).
- The advancement triggers the moment you enter the stronghold's bounding box.
Tips
You can triangulate the stronghold with two throws from far apart: note the direction each eye flies and find where the lines cross. Bring spare eyes for the End portal itself (up to 12 more).
