Java Edition only. Bedrock uses a different generator, so Bedrock seeds will not match. Coordinates point to the structure’s starting chunk. Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.

How the stronghold finder works

Strongholds hold the End portal and generate in rings around the world origin, three in the first ring within about 2,700 blocks. This finder marks the first twelve strongholds for your seed so you can head straight to the closest one instead of following eyes of ender across the map.

Enter a seed in the box above the map and press Map it. The Find nearest panel on the left runs automatically for this structure and lists the closest results with distances from spawn. Click a result to center the map on it, then use Copy X Z or Copy /tp. Change the version selector to match your game; placement shifts between updates.

Tips

• The portal room is somewhere inside the stronghold, not at the marker. Bring eyes of ender to fill the frame; the map cannot see how many are pre-filled.
• Strongholds are checked against biomes, so positions here are exact for the version you selected.
• Only the first 12 strongholds are listed. Outer rings exist far from spawn but rarely matter.

For what to expect inside, what spawns there and how to loot it safely, read the wiki’s stronghold guide. To see every structure type at once, open the full seed map.
