What is a Stronghold in Minecraft?
Image: youtube.com
A stronghold is an ancient, sprawling underground complex. Beyond the valuable loot scattered throughout its twisting corridors, prison cells, libraries, and other intriguing areas, lies the portal to The End – the game's final boss battle. Activating this portal requires the Eye of Ender, which we'll discuss in detail below. Important note: you can't stumble upon a stronghold by chance; the game provides specific methods for locating them.

How to Find a Stronghold in Minecraft
Eye of Ender

This is the intended, legitimate way to locate a stronghold. To craft an Eye of Ender, you'll need:
- Blaze Powder (from Blaze rods dropped by Blazes)
- Ender Pearl (dropped by Endermen, or purchased from villager priests)

Throw the Eye of Ender; it will float briefly in the direction of the nearest stronghold. Remember, Eyes of Ender are consumable. For survival mode, you'll likely need around 30.

The Locate Command
For a less conventional (and arguably unfair) approach, enable cheats in your game settings and use this command:
/locate structure stronghold
(This command works in Minecraft version 1.20 and later.)

The coordinates provided are approximate. Use the teleportation command (/tp ) to get close, but further exploration might be needed.
Stronghold Rooms
Library

Libraries are spacious rooms filled with bookshelves, stone, and bricks, often hidden deep within the stronghold. Chests near the bookshelves contain enchanted books and other valuable resources.
Prison

A maze-like area with narrow corridors and dim lighting. Be wary of skeletons, zombies, and creepers.
Fountain

A central, mystical-looking room with a fountain, often adding to the stronghold's atmosphere.
Secret Rooms

Hidden chambers behind walls, often containing valuable loot but potentially dangerous traps.
Altar

An eerie room that appears to be an ancient altar.
Stronghold Mobs
