A simple beginner tutorial on how to find the stronghold using the Ninjabrain Bot calculator, for versions 1.14 to 1.21+ and versions 26.1+. Used in Minecraft speedrunning. This is how speedrunners triangulate and find a stronghold using a calculator.
NinjabrainBot doesn't know when you give it garbage measurements, it trusts you - if you lie to it and give it garbage, it will send you to random coordinates. Lock in

This video naturally cuts a lot of corners and takes a lot of liberties in the interest of practicality towards how everything works to make it understandable to a wider audience. How Ninjabrain Bot works: github.com/Ninjabrain1/Ninjabrain-Bot/blob/main/triangulation.pdf
