In a nutshell, yes. You can have a stronghold without a portal. The spawning radius of a stronghold is between 640 and 1152 blocks from the original spawn point of the world. In some cases, it can even go further. When in a stronghold, you will encounter zombies that can bang on doors, but they won’t break down or knock wooden doors.

Creating an End Portal

In the game, creating an End Portal is possible through the stronghold you spawned. The only requirement to create an End Portal is the ability to place all of your Eyes of Ender vertically. If you place the Eyes horizontally, the portal will not open, and the lava and ground will prevent you from entering the End. To avoid these problems, you can choose Creative mode to create your own End Portal.

The only caveat is that it can overwrite the end portal room if you aren’t careful. You can do this by making a copy of the world before you begin building your stronghold. This way, if you need to change the direction of the stronghold, you can simply move it and still get the portal room. Then, the next time you wish to create a new stronghold, you can go ahead and place the End Portal in that spot.

Creating a dummy structure in the structure pool that is the same size as the portal room

Creating a dummy structure in a structure pool is an excellent way to reserve a portal room in your stronghold. By using a dummy structure, you can reserve a portal room in your stronghold without having to re-generate the whole structure. It also means that you won’t have to deal with any additional stipulations regarding how portal rooms are generated, such as the size of each portal room.

While strongholds do not generate over the surface of a world, there is no way for them to be accessed from above. This makes it possible to expose them through above-ground dungeons or canyons, or from underwater if they are close to an ocean. Creating a dummy structure in the structure pool the same size as the portal room in a stronghold can be extremely helpful for players who want to avoid a weak portal room.

Creating a dead-end corridor

To make it easier for a group of players to escape, create a dead-end corridor. A dead-end corridor is one in which players cannot go any further because the path is at a dead end. In game, you can create a dead-end corridor by adding a door holder and signage. Then, you can use this door multiple times to create a 50-foot long dead-end corridor. This way, the players don’t have to worry about being trapped or being hampered by a fire blocking their escape.

If your stronghold is completely uninhabitable, you can spawn a dead-end corridor. It will not spawn a stronghold, but it will give you an advantage over other players. The dead-end corridor will also increase the time it takes for your players to find exits. Additionally, if you have a stronghold with no exits, you may never have a chance to escape a single fire event, because the survivors are stuck in the middle of a dead-end corridor.

Creating a spiral staircase

The first step in spawning a stronghold is to create a spiral staircase. Once the stairs have been created, the next step is to spawn a base. This is a good way to get your first chest, but you will need to make sure that you have a portal room generator. These are very helpful for when you don’t have any chests and don’t want to waste time constructing a portal.

To spawn a stronghold without a void portal, place an eye of ender or a mine in the direction of the desired stronghold. When the portal spawns, it will be between one and two thousand blocks away from the starting point of the map. The strongest strongholds also contain secret rooms which can be found by searching for ender pearls.
