Searching Every Stronghold

Introduction

This project scanned every one of the 2³² Bedrock base seeds and checks every stronghold candidate whose portal room can be within 1500 blocks of 0,0.

For every candidate portal, I saved the result if it had more than 2 eyes in the portal frame. Therefore, now every single stronghold with 2+ eyes is now known. A raw txt file with such data would be over 200GB big, so I saved it in a custom binary format of about 5gb. If you want the full 2+ eye binary list, contact me in discord (ma_ehy).

Disclaimer

This is a base-seed candidate scan. A candidate stronghold is not automatically a stronghold in every full 64-bit world seed with that low32 value, and sometime it's never used in any of the 65536 sister picks.

The final eye model was tested against Bedrock Dedicated Server 1.26.51.1. An old bug with eye calculation was fixed, and further testing matched the complete 12-frame masks in all portal rooms.

All portal rooms in the game that are 7+, 8+, 9+, 10+ and 11+ eye candidates. Each line contains the base seed, stronghold X/Z coordinates (y was omitted to save space) and eye count.

For the full 2+ eye list, contact me on Discord.
