Only one per stronghold, and it is never within 5 rooms of the starting staircase. In most cases, this room cannot be overwritten by other structures generated around it.

There are two pools of 3 lava sources in the front sides of the room and a bigger lava pool of 9 below the end portal, and 16 windows of 2 iron bars in the room, with the entrance, always being a gate.

End portal room: Contains an end portal and a silverfish spawner.

If a portal room is not generated, the generation is redone. Stronghold generation begins with a spiral staircase room with a 5-way crossing at the bottom, with additional rooms being randomly generated from the exits of previous rooms up to a maximum distance of 50 rooms and 112 blocks horizontally. Sometimes, doors can be sealed off by stone bricks, resulting in 'secret doors', usually occurring with 5-way crossings. Additional 'passages' between rooms may exist if their generation overlaps or if the stronghold intersects a cave, mineshaft, or other structure. Rooms may have exits to other room pieces or dead-end 'exits' into stone. Each room has an entrance, which is either a plain 3Г—3 opening, a wall with a wooden door, a wall with an iron door (with buttons), or a 3Г—3 opening with a gate of iron bars along the top and sides. Strongholds feature various types of main rooms. In generated chest corridors and storerooms, dispersed chests containing a variety of loot can be found. Stairs that generate within these structures include stone brick and cobblestone stairs, but not their mossy variants. Strongholds are lit by enough torches to provide visibility in most areas, though not enough to suppress mob spawns.

Infested cracked stone bricks and infested mossy stone bricks do not generate, unless silverfish enter these blocks. They contain several doors and rooms made mostly of stone bricks (45%), mossy stone bricks (30%), cracked stone bricks (20%) and infested stone bricks (5%).

The eighth and outermost ring has 9 strongholds within 22,784-24,320 blocks of the origin.

The seventh ring has 36 strongholds within 19,712-21,248 blocks of the origin.

The sixth ring has 28 strongholds within 16,640-18,176 blocks of the origin.

The fifth ring has 21 strongholds within 13,568-15,104 blocks of the origin.

The fourth ring has 15 strongholds within 10,496-12,032 blocks of the origin.

The third ring has 10 strongholds within 7,424-8,960 blocks of the origin.

The second ring has 6 strongholds within 4,352-5,888 blocks of the origin.

The first ring has 3 strongholds within 1,280-2,816 blocks of the origin.

There are eight rings, containing 128 strongholds in total: If a stronghold generates in an ocean, which occurs rarely, it typically generates with a floating portal room. The game does not generate a stronghold partially above-ground, any portion above the sea level is replaced with air, leaving a cutaway. The strongholds are generated at roughly equal angles from the center point of the world (for instance, each stronghold in a ring of 3 is in the region of 120 degrees from the others, measured from the origin). In Java Edition, all strongholds are located at random coordinates within rings in most biomes, where each ring is a certain radius from the center of the world (X=0, Z=0). Stronghold layout through the world in Java Edition. Because Bedrock Edition appears to begin stronghold generation at a spiraling staircase, it is rare to find no portal room in the stronghold. There appears to be an infinite amount of strongholds, even capable of generating in the Far Lands.

If it has to, a stronghold could generate perfectly fine above ground, in caves, and in canyons. They appear to have no fixed set distance, unlike most structures, which means that rarely, they can overlap. In Bedrock Edition, strongholds generate randomly throughout the world. Most parts of the stronghold can be overwritten by caves, mineshafts, fossils or dungeons but it is rare for the end portal to be replaced, which would force a player to find one of the other strongholds, as a portal can be activated only with all 12 frame blocks present. Strongholds may generate at bedrock level, cutting the bedrock. Strongholds mostly generate underground and prefer to generate in biomes above sea level but generate underwater if necessary.
