Stronghold finder

Enter your seed to list the strongholds closest to world spawn or your own coordinates. Each result gives its coordinates, distance and direction. The search runs in your browser with the generation model for Java 1.7.10–26.3 and Bedrock 1.18.0–26.50.

About these results

Each location is a prediction from the generation model for the version you choose. It is not a check in the game. The model applies placement and biome rules, but terrain and later generation can still stop a structure from generating.

World spawn is estimated from the seed. If you know your spawn point, or want results near where you are now, search from your own coordinates.

Pick the version your world was created in. Structures generate when chunks are first loaded, so areas explored in an older version keep that version's structures. Bedrock results come from a separate community model that has not been independently checked against the game.

Stronghold facts

Underground stone-brick labyrinths with libraries, corridors, and an End portal room. Players track them down with eyes of ender to reach the End, and loot books, gear, and Eye armor trim templates on the way.

Usually buried underground, with no fixed Y range. Java can place them under oceans and fills in terrain to cover any exposed parts.
