EyeOfEnderFix
EyeOfEnderFix corrects the direction in which Eyes of Ender point toward a stronghold, a behavior that has been off for a long time.
What it does
Eyes of Ender are meant to point toward the stronghold that holds the End portal. In the affected versions they often point at the portal itself, which makes them a poor guide once a player is close to it. The mod changes the lookup so that the eye points at the stairs of the stronghold instead, as the mod's author describes the fix. Later betas of the game moved the calculation to a middle chunk coordinate rather than the 4,4 chunk coordinate used for stairs, and the mod restores that behavior.
The mod runs on Fabric and is also offered for Paper, Spigot and Bukkit server platforms. Its fix covers the direction an Eye of Ender points, and the author reports that the target shifts by more than 4 blocks on both axes in later releases, which the mod corrects by pointing at the 0,0 chunk coordinate. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The first release was published 2023-11-18 and the last update 2024-12-17.
Key features
Stronghold stairs target
Eyes of Ender point at the stronghold stairs rather than the End portal, so the direction stays useful close to the portal.
Corrected chunk coordinates
The target uses the chunk coordinate the author identifies as correct, rather than the shifted position in later versions.
Server platform support
Besides Fabric, the mod is offered for Paper, Spigot and Bukkit servers, so the fix can run on those platforms too.

What the author says
I reported this as a bug here: but I will explain it here as well This simple bug has been around since 1.9 because of the transition from the eyes of ender pointing to the end portal to now pointing to the "entrance".
