Hey Joel and Pix,

In Episode 49 you were talking about how the end gateways plop you out in weird, seemingly random spots. I remembered that Cubfan(135) explained it in one of his old Hermitcraft episodes. So, I’m sharing it with you so you don’t have to do the digging yourself. The explanation starts around 13 minutes.

Thanks for doing such an awesome podcast
