Version support & accuracy
Java 1.20.6, 1.21.1 and 1.21.3: Overworld, Nether and End. Trial chambers require 1.21. Some structures are biome-checked candidates; mineshafts show placement candidates.
Biomes, villages, strongholds and slime chunks are algorithmic predictions, checked by automated regression and limited published references. Broad in-game validation has not been completed. Natural terrain uses estimated elevation and shading, not individual terrain blocks; biome-color mode samples Y=63. Spawn is estimated, and structures do not include Y.

Less wandering. More wondering.
Plan your journey toward the End. Explore the Overworld locations of stronghold starts, or select one from the results to move the map there.
Available versions, dimensions and layers are listed in the map controls. Structure candidates do not guarantee complete generation, and terrain heights are estimates. Read about support and accuracy
Bring your seed
Copy the full seed from /seed and choose the Java version that generated your world.
Find your next stop
Switch between natural terrain and biome colors, follow a river, and pick a village or stronghold. Terrain heights are estimated.
Take the coordinates
Copy X/Z coordinates or save a map link to come back to the same view.
Before you set out
A few things worth knowing about your world.
Does the marker show the End portal room?
No. It shows the stronghold start after biome checks, not the exact portal room or its height. Search the structure in game to locate the portal.
Why are strongholds far from the center?
Java strongholds are distributed in rings around the world origin. Zoom out or use the coordinate list to move to a stronghold.
Is this eye-of-ender triangulation?
No. This tool computes locations from a known seed. Open Stronghold Triangulation in the tool directory to estimate a location from two eye-of-ender observations.
