eyes of ender

[joe5]

hi,

I was wondering if eyes of ender work in tekkit as i followed one to the supposed location of a strong hold and found nothing.

if not, how do you normally go about locating strongholds in your worlds?

[DanielJin]

Eyes of ender has always been the only way to locate strongholds, just make sure to dig straght down where it dropped, otherwise keep going to that direction.

[joe5]

unfortunately, the eye of ender is leading me to an area that is most defiantly devoid of strongholds. if I move far enough away would it bring me to a new one?

[charcharmunro]

How are you so sure there's no strongholds? Strongholds rarely, if ever, spawn aboveground, so you need to dig around where the Eye of Ender leads you.

[joe5]

given as I am a fan of the mining laser set to scatter approach to digging I am reasonably confident. What is its margin of error?

[charcharmunro]

Well, the Eye of Ender will only point directly to an End Portal when you're right above it. It will otherwise point in the direction you should go. When it starts going down to the ground, then you dig downwards.

[joe5]

i am currently standing at the bottom of a mining laser cleared pit. when i throw an eye of ender. it goes strait up and then falls strait down. does the fact that i am near a ravine matter?

[DanielJin]

If it still goes up a bit, keep going in that direction until it drops staight down.

[charcharmunro]

Also, use the Eye above ground.

[joe5]

regardless of where I use the eye it goes to the same point in the air and then drops. is it possible it has simply does not exist.

also, are ender frames nuke proof?

[charcharmunro]

You're supposed to follow the direction the Eye goes to. Keep doing that until it goes to an opposite direction or straight down, then try to pinpoint the End Portal with that.

[joe5]

That is what i did. I have found the point the eye goes to. unforunatly, their is nothing there.

Yes, they are. They're like bedrock. Other than that, well, I don't know, everything that had to be said has been. Only start digging when it goes straight down, the eye.

[joe5]

used the nuke and it looks like it was over writen by a mineshaft

[charcharmunro]

Ooh. Sucks. Go speeding off in another direction until the Eye goes to a different direction. Or just use NEI to cheat in some frames and fix it up.

[Torezu]

Rule of thumb: there are always 3 strongholds spawned, at 120° angles from either 0,0 or the spawn point, I can't remember (probably 0,0). Move around 0,0 far enough from the stronghold you found, and start using Eyes again.

[joe5]

ah, thanks. just found it. space station construction will begin
