Eyes of Ender and "/locate structure stronghold" point to the corner of the chunk in instead of the [4,4] chunk coordinate

This simple bug started in 1.9 and hasn't been fixed for 7+ years.

Issue

The eyes of ender point to the 0,0 chunk coordinate and not the 4,4 chunk coordinate (The stairs are at 4,4).

Reproduce

1. Open a new world on any version between 1.9 and the latest

1. follow the eyes of ender to the stronghold

1. Open the f3 debug menu and you will see the eyes of ender will converge on the 0,0 sub-chunk coordinate the Corner of the chunk (8,8 sub chunk before 1.18.2)

1. The stairs are always at the 4,4 chunk coordinate. 

Why is this a bug?

Digging straight down at the eye of ender was intended to lead to the stairwell as shown in the 1.9 betas from 15w49 - 1.9 pre2 when the eye of ender was changed to point to the 4,4 chunk coordinate at the stairwell instead of the end portal.

In the 1.9 betas, the eyes were slightly bugged because they kept pointing to the end portal until you re-logged, then they would point to the stairwell at the 4,4 starting chunk coordinate. In the process of fixing it, the eyes of ender were set to the middle of the chunk (8,8) causing players to miss the stronghold if it is facing north or west. Following the release of 1.19 to present, eyes now point to the 0,0 chunk coordinate which will cause players to miss if the stronghold is facing east or south.

The Eyes of Ender are clearly supposed to lead players directly to the stronghold, and the fact that you can dig exactly where it points and only find bedrock is very confusing for players and in the 1.9 betas this was shown that missing was not the original intended implementation.

Even speedrunners always have to open their F3 menu to find the [4,4] chunk coordinates instead of just following the basic Minecraft mechanics. And as someone who prefers not to abuse the debug menu, this bug has been getting in the way of beating the game.

Possible Solution

The solution is either moving the coordinates the locate stronghold structure returns, or by moving the location the eyes of ender point at by 4 blocks on both axes

(second option is a little janky but easy, and won't mess up its spawning. I know this because I made a fabric mod and plugin to fix this issue here https://modrinth.com/plugin/eyeofenderfix/gallery )

P.S. if you want it really nice then make it point to 4.5, 4.5 because then it will point directly to the middle of the block instead of to the corner of it but this is not necessary
