Minecraft (Pocket Edition)
Stronghold
Location / Appearance
Strongholds are a fun but rare place to explore in Minecraft. They are found below ground and do not have an obvious entrance. Once they are breached their multiple rooms and levels can be explored at length.
Usage / Purpose
Strongholds contain various interesting elements, including a Library and an End Portal. There are a variety of resources that can be obtained from the Stronghold and its Chests.
The following block types are found inside a Stronghold:
- Books
- Bookshelves
- Chest
- End Portal Blocks
- Iron Bars
- Lava
- Paper
- Silverfish
- Stone Bricks
- Cracked Stone Bricks
- Mossy Stone Bricks
- Stone Slabs
- Torches
Notes
Stronghold Libraries contain a large number of Bookshelves, and Chests within the Library will likely contain Paper and/or Books. The example below is of a two storey Library with a wooden chandelier.
Strongholds contain a non-functioning End Portal. This room also contains a Silverfish Spawner. This is the only place in Survival Mode where these two elements are present.
