Axis Travel[edit | edit source]
When you make your first portal in the nether, preferably at coordinates (±150, ±150) or (±220, 0) (an advanced chart can be found here), you will arrive at a brand new location which is relatively close to the stronghold. Throw an eye of ender and point to it. Record the angle of the eye. It is recommended to type it in chat. Then sprint jump 4 times in any direction (preferably one with the best terrain) and throw another eye. Point to it and record the angle. Check the angle difference. Some basic numbers to remember is that if the difference is 0.5°, it is around 2000 blocks away. 1° is around 1000 blocks away and 2° is around 500 blocks away. A detailed chart can be found here.
