About Stronghold

Strongholds are rare underground structures in Minecraft, essential for reaching the End dimension. They house End Portals and other rooms like Libraries, Storerooms, and hallways. Strongholds vary by edition: in Java Edition, they spawn within one of eight rings centered at world spawn, while in Bedrock Edition, they are usually found under Villages.

How to Find Stronghold In Minecraft

To locate a Stronghold, craft Eyes of Ender using Ender Pearls (dropped by Endermen) and Blaze Powder (from Blaze Rods). Throw the Eye of Ender, which will float toward the nearest Stronghold. Each use has a 20% chance to break, so carrying multiple Eyes is recommended. Follow its path carefully to find the End Portal room.
