As of the full release of Minecraft 1.0.0, strongholds are still limited to 3 in a world- minecraftwiki

this has broken my heart

:(

I'm not sure, but maybe with the map expansion, there will be 3 more? Probably not, just a thought.

dubien

You might be right there im not sure though.
Is there a public one by any chance? Now i know its banned right now but how do we actually get there without trying to find an extremely rare fortress?

The future map expansion, to my understanding, will function as if a totally fresh map would have been created around us. Therefore, the total count of Strongholds will be 6.

Also, mooshrooms, yay! : )

This is disappointing.

The map expansion is gonna make a strange error at the edge of the current map.

We're also gonna have to expand the railway as well!

ohh dear if its fresh map i may lose a chunk of my village
oh well should b interesting to see whats created

You shoulnt lose the edge of your village qo, its already renedered

yeah i know but its just further afield from it itd b a shame to lose
oh well idc really anyway
