A lot of you have pointed out an easier method for triangulation at 9:30. If you do 4 sprint jumps (instead of 5) the math is 1000/angle change = distance in blocks. Much easier.
@@youaredonefor4444 if the first angle is 90.0 and the 2nd angle is 91.5 that is an angle change of 1.5 degrees. The math would be 1000/1.5 degrees = 666 blocks. Therefore the stronghold is 666 blocks away.
Lol, I just posted a very similar comment! But it's true, when I find a good speedrun tutorial, I learn new ways to make some of the most frustrating parts of early game alot faster and actually easier!

Wow, you are so underrated. I started getting into speedrunning a few weeks ago and I learned a lot from UA-camrs like k4yfour and Couriway. However, many stuff in this video are new to me, and some stuff that you explained were more clear than other UA-camrs. Great vid!
One thing to point out. This is for 1.16 minecraft java, and some of these facts no longer work in later versions. For example, with the deep dark the brightness (gama), the game no allows any value higher then 1.
If you want to speed up your gravel breaking, go right up against a block at hip height that is next to a wall, preferably a stone wall. Then if you hold left and right click, with a shovel main hand and gravel off hand, it will place the gravel almost instantly after the gravel breaks. They do pop off out of your reach occasionally so collect about 8-10 first and even if you have to move away to pick them up, it's still faster than placing them in a line.
the lava waterpool trick is probably related to worldgen. the game generates all structures based on a set of instructions and it probably generates the lava in a similar ruleset to the water pools on the surface. interesting little trick
The coordinates of villages, Nether fortresses, and End cities are also lined up. Somewhere out there is a video about a bunch of worlds where very specific seeds make a whole bunch of different structures spawn in the exact same x/z space.
4:07 you can do something similar in real life with seeing things in the dark. There are more rods than cones in the peripheral zone of your retina which can let you see better in low light conditions if your eyes haven't had time to adjust to the darkness yet.
Insanely good video man! Hopefully, this vid pops off cause it deserves to! Maybe you could do a quick vid on the pie chart strat people mainly use to find nether fortresses (rather than treasure bastions) since it's a bit more reliable than moving to a different quadrant?
2:33 it works because the method used to generate water and lava pools are similar. For the most basic example if I spawned a water block every 2nd block and a lava block every 4th block, then I’ll have a lot of overlap b/w them. Set them at different height levels and with sin waves and boom you got something close to what’s happening.
A lot of people don't know that this applies to the coordinates of structures as well. Nether fortresses and End cities spawn along the same east-to-west rows in all worlds. Staying at specific ranges of Z coordinates and moving straight east or west in a flying machine is how I always find my first elytra.
I am no speedrunner, but I still figured a couple of these out myself. I used the fog edge trick a lot back when I had a crappy computer that needed a low render distance and I did the eye triangulation because I figured that's what you were supposed to do. It didn't occur to me that doing trig functions was probably not what you should do.
The reason why lava pool generates below water pools is because all water pools beyond 1.18 are aucuafer caves and wen aucuafer caves generates below Y -35. It terns into a lava cave
Damn I only just found you scrolling through my feed today...this is my second video of yours that I'm watching but I already think you're soooooo underrated
I've been speedrunning casually for over a year now and this video was a massive help. I already knew everything except how simple the degree chart was for calculation and how to do magma portals. Best time is 43 right now and I'm hoping I can bring that down knowing how to do half decent stronghold triangulation now. Thank you!
lol now I find it pretty funny that I discovered the triangulation method by myself, and I don't even speedrun. Definitely just me being curious and doing math for fun so it's not that impressive.
I’m proud to say that after forgetting how to do trigonometry in high school years later I relearned it my self I do have a different more time consuming method tho
Just wanted to point something out for those getting into speedrunning at 10:50 he mentions calculators being banned. After the time this video was published thespeedrun moderators have decided to allow calculators 👍
Triangulation ain’t really hard, it’s just a bunch of high school math, if you did astronomy you’d certainly know that that’s one way to measure a distance to a star.
I'm glad I Kinda stumbled upon this vid. I'm not a speedrunner, but I've dabbled with it. Honestly, these are great tips for anyone! Speedrunning also teaches alot of basic core game strats that can help ya get to the end game much faster, then get your elytra and move on to the bigger plans you have for your world! Great video & really good simple explanation of the strats, thanks!!
So the calculation you would have to do to know the distance to the stronghold is 20/sin(angle change) since that is indeed a hard calculation to do, you look at the sin function and how we can approximate it We would be using a Taylor series x - x³/6 + x⁵/120 - x⁷/5040 ... and that theoretically continues forever, giving you more exat values for sin the more iterations you use. (Also, in this case, the x is given in radians, where one radian is 180/π degrees) But the thing is, for small values of x, we only need the first term of this equation, which is just x (what I'm saying is, that for example sin(0.1)≈0.1, sin(0.4)≈0.4 ...) so instead of 20/sin(x) we can just use 20/x, because if the angle is like 45 degrees, we know the stronghold is practically in the next chunk anyway and we don't need to calculate anything We just have to change the equation so we just have to put in the angle in degrees and not convert to radians, which is by just multiplying it with 180/π. This gives us 1145.915/x, which we can just do as 1146/x, because the error will be a couple of blocks at most, and we don't care if we are less than 8 blocks off, because the stronghold staircase always generates in the middle of a chunk So you only would have to memorize the number 1146, and then do the calculation like on a piece of paper or your desk, and you can know the exact distance to the strongholf
Dude, I was watching this video and I was like this is such a great vid lemme like and I see 72 views and 21 likes and I was like what the- it's such a good video why so little likes and comments, and then I just realized it was posted today xD! Have a good day!

Pretty interesting. I knew perhaps 70 to 75% of these, the door portal strategy in the magma pit is actually very similar to an old skyblock survival strategy to light a portal without flint and steel where you use a wood block and lava instead. Too bad I won't personally be attempting to speedrun anything due to literally every speedrunner I've ever had the misfortune to encounter being a toxic prick. Trying to compensate for what you lack perhaps?
I'm genuinely curious if there's a story behind why calculators are banned in speedruns. Is doing calculations by hand allowed? If a speedrunner used math, do they have to submit their workings? Forget Dream "hiring an astrophysicist", speedrunners need to be mathematicians themselves like how redstone engineers study computer science.
I don't understand how the obsidian appeared above the doors in the magma portal section of the video. It appears the you created two pieces of obsidian at the side by placing lava from the bucket there and then created stone as you dug down. This doesn't explain how a full sized portal was created, just the lower part. What am I missing?

Hello good vid just is it normal that at 8:32 your lava bucket vanish into a normal bucket ?
I'm pretty sure the water/lava thing has to do with normal mapping in world generation
This math in "triangulation" is just trygonometry (sin and cos functions)
This is premium knowledge.
Does quadrants work in bedrock too
Yes, but it’s more difficult to tell because you can’t e-ray, so you’re just wandering around until you find something
so what’s the center of the nether quadrants? is it your portal or 0,0 coordinates?
