How do Speedrunners find the portal room?
Speedrunners find the portal room by utilizing Ender Eyes, which lead them to a stronghold, and then navigating through the stronghold to locate the End Portal, typically found in a room surrounded by End Portal frames and a silverfish spawner. The process involves throwing Ender Eyes into the air to see where they float, indicating the direction of the nearest stronghold, and then exploring the stronghold to find the portal room, which can be a challenging task due to the stronghold’s complex layout and the presence of hidden rooms and dead ends.
Understanding the Portal Room
To find the portal room, speedrunners need to understand the stronghold’s structure and the principles of stronghold generation. Strongholds are generated in a specific pattern, with 128 strongholds in each Minecraft world, and the portal room is usually located deep within the stronghold, at least five rooms from the starting staircase.
