Minecraft is a sandbox adventure/survival game in which the player can build whatever they want. However, some structures exist naturally. The Minecraft Fortress is one such structure in the game.
Structures in Minecraft can be found throughout the world, as well as in other dimensions such as the Nether and the End. The Fortress is a structure that can only be found in the overworld and players can only find it using Eye of Enders.
Below you will find all the features of Minecraft Stronghold.

Minecraft Fortress
The Minecraft Fortress is a naturally formed structure that lies underground in the overworld and is the only location where the final portal can be found.
Fortresses are largely built underground, at any height, in any part of the world. A maximum of 128 fortresses can be created in a generated world. Fortresses can house many spawned enemy monsters such as skeletons, zombies, zombie villagers, creepers, witches, and silverfish.
A Minecraft Fortress can be found using an Eye of Ender obtained from Endermen.

Each fortress has a variety of rooms that serve different purposes. Either they usually appear with a wooden door, an iron door, iron bars, or they are hidden and are called “secret doors”.
All rooms that can appear in a fortress are listed below:
- End of portal room: This room is the most important and only contains the end gate frame and a silver fish Generators. The frame is mounted on a lava pool. It is possible for the frame to appear with the Eye of Enders preset, although this is very rare.
