The Start of a New Stronghold

[/u/ShadowJ666]

I have recently started a Project to transform Minecraft’s vanilla stronghold. The overall goal is to turn this structure into an actual functional stronghold. In accordance to the Minecraft Lore (theorised by the community), the Stronghold was originally built by ancient builders in an attempt to shelter from the hostile environment that was quickly over running their civilisation, such as the undead mobs, creepers, etc. as well as being the gateway to a new dimension. This will reflect significantly in my transformation (hopefully). For this transformation, the intention is to try and keep the roots of the original structure, whilst also giving it a much needed make over. So the main elements (portal room for example), such as the winding corridors, rooms, decorations (at least most of them) will be implemented to the transformation, as well as a few new features to give it functionality. The video posted shows the work i have done so far (bare in mind this is being done on survival hard), and contains: The stronghold entrance I decided that a concealed entrance would make more sense than some sort of bunker leading in since that would expose the entire stronghold, and likely wouldn’t hold out against anything like the wither or a siege anyway. A de contamination chamber Zombies are a major threat to Villagers, and were most likely a substantial threat to the builders, so having this made sense to prevent the spread of any disease. it also acts as a barricade and a trap for zombie villagers. A brewery/ nether portal Chances are, the builders still had some access to the nether before disappearing (all be it limited), and intended to have potions in their arsenal as a last ditch effort if their defences ever got breached. You can also brew weakness potions for zombie villagers. A storage corridor You know those odd chests you get across the stronghold in the hallways? This is basically an upgrade to that. Throughout the stronghold, i intend to have several of these for the purpose of storing supplies. I still intend of having the following: The End Portal Room A Library More Storage Corridors Barracks Indoor farm(s) Escape route(?) [TLR] I started transforming the vanilla stronghold, and this is what I done so far. Please let me know if you have any feedback to share It would be nice if I could turn this into OUR project. submitted by /u/ShadowJ666 [link] [comments]
