Minecraft Dungeons:The Stronghold

Template:Infobox

The Stronghold is the first mission of the Minecraft Dungeons Echoing Void DLC. Unlike all other DLC missions before it, the mission can be found on the Mainland tab, on a very small island near the small continent.

Story

“	A FORGOTTEN PORTAL – A long-abandoned Stronghold has suddenly become a hub of activity. That can only mean one thing - something ominous has awoken within. Solve the mystery that lies within to find the path forward.	„
	— In-game Story

The story is that the hero would need to get six Eyes of Ender from six Endersent that went to six various locations on the Mainland. These Locations are Creeper Woods, Soggy Swamp, Pumpkin Pastures, Cacti Canyon, Desert Temple, and Highblock Halls. To open the End Portal that resides in the Stronghold the hero must retrieve these eyes and bring them back. Once opened, the otherworldly map will be unlocked to interact in the “Other Dimensions” Tab. The first location on that map is the End Wilds.

Voiceovers

“	What dark force conspires deep in the depths of this abandoned Stronghold? As you enter these depths, you start to feel as if the very void itself is watching. But now that you’ve begun, you must follow this path to the end — No matter where it leads.	„
	— In-game Intro

Objectives

Main article: MCD:Objective

The Stronghold

1. Find The End Portal.

Travel To The End

1. Place The Eyes of The Ender.

Appearance

The Stronghold is made up of stone bricks and wood. There are several pathways and brides over bottomless pits. The stone is covered with ripped blue carpets and Silverfish can be seen falling from the roof. In the middle of it all, the End Portal sits levitated over a pit of lava. Unlike the original game, though, it has two sets of stairways leading up to it. When the hero clicks on the portal it will make a banging sound, and if it is not activated, a menu will appear saying you need to collect the eyes of ender.

There are also paths leading away from the portal that are blocked off and say the following message if the hero clicks on them:

“	This Dungeon Is Sealed! Return to camp and search the Overworld for Eyes of Ender and return them to the End portal to explore the area beyond.	„

1.10.2.0 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Written Book|Written Book]]<br/>{{Item | title = Written Book | image = Written Book.gif | renewable = Yes | stackable = Yes (16) }} A '''written book''' is an [[item]] created after a [[book and quill]] is signed. == Obtaining == === Signing a book and quill === Written books can be obtained by signing a [[book and quill]]. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again. The label does not say "Written Book", but whatever the [[player]] titles it. The title appears on the top line of the label, and "by <''player''>" (the player's username) on the bottom. {{IN|bedrock}}, this is customizable without [[commands]]. === Copying === {{crafting |name=Written Book |showdescription=1 |;;;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |;;;;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |;;;;;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |Book and Quill |Written Book |;;;;;;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |;;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill;Book and Quill |;;;;;;;Book and Quill |Output= Written Book; Written Book,2; Written Book,3; Written Book,4; Written Book,5; Written Book,6; Written Book,7; Written Book,8 |description=The input written book is not consumed.<br>The new copies are "Copy of Original" or "Copy of Copy", depending on whether the input written book is "Original" or "Copy of Original".<br>Copies of copies cannot be copied.<br>Copied books of the same generation ("Original", "Copy of Original", "Copy of Copy", or "Tattered") stack. |type=Miscellaneous }} == Usage == Written books can be opened by right-clicking (or holding down on the screen {{in|bedrock}}), and display a GUI allowing the [[player]] to read it or turn the page. The contents of a book are an extra set of data attached to the item. This means that when a book is destroyed, its contents are lost with it. === Lecterns === One can place a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]]. The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. === Chiseled bookshelf === {{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a written book in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf. == Sounds == {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Page turn1.ogg |sound2=Page turn2.ogg |sound3=Page turn3.ogg |subtitle=Page rustles |source=master |description=When the page of a book is turned |id=item.book.page_turn |translationkey=subtitles.item.book.page_turn |volume=2.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Page turn1.ogg |sound2=Page turn2.ogg |sound3=Page turn3.ogg |subtitle=Page rustles |source=block |description=When the page of a book is turned on a lectern |id=item.book.page_turn |translationkey=subtitles.item.book.page_turn |volume=2.0 |pitch=0.9-1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Book thump1.ogg |sound2=Book thump2.ogg |subtitle=Book thumps |source=block |description=When a book is placed on a lectern |id=item.book.put |translationkey=subtitles.item.book.put |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf insert1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf insert2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf insert3.ogg |sound4=Chiseled bookshelf insert4.ogg |subtitle=Book placed |source=block |description=When a written book is placed in a chiseled bookshelf |id=block.chiseled_bookshelf.insert |translationkey=subtitles.chiseled_bookshelf.insert |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound>Can be 1.0, 0.85, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf pickup1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf pickup2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf pickup3.ogg |subtitle=Book taken |source=block |description=When a written book is removed from a chiseled bookshelf |id=block.chiseled_bookshelf.pickup |translationkey=subtitles.chiseled_bookshelf.take |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound>Can be 1.0, 0.8, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Page turn1.ogg |sound2=Page turn2.ogg |sound3=Page turn3.ogg |source=sound |description=When the page of a book is turned |id=item.book.page_turn |volume=2.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Book thump1.ogg |sound2=Book thump2.ogg |source=block |description=When a book is placed on a lectern |id=item.book.put |volume=4.8 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Chiseled bookshelf insert1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf insert2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf insert3.ogg |sound4=Chiseled bookshelf insert4.ogg |source=block |description=When a written book is placed in a chiseled bookshelf |id=insert.chiseled_bookshelf |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound>Can be 1.0, 0.85, or 1.1 for each sound</ref>}} {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf pickup1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf pickup2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf pickup3.ogg |source=block |description=When a written book is removed from a chiseled bookshelf |id=pickup.chiseled_bookshelf |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound>Can be 1.0, 0.8, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{JE}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showitemtags=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Written Book |spritetype=item |nameid=written_book |itemtags=bookshelf_books, lectern_books |form=item |foot=1}} {{BE}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showitemtags=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Written Book |spritetype=item |nameid=written_book |id=511 |itemtags=minecraft:bookshelf_books, minecraft:lectern_books |form=item |foot=1}} === Item data === {{el|java}}: {{main|Player.dat format}} <div class="treeview"> * {{nbt|compound|tag}}: The item's '''tag''' tag. {{:Player.dat_format/Written Books}} </div> {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Item format]]. == History == {{History|java}} {{History||1.3.1|snap=12w17a|[[File:Written Book JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added written books.}} {{History|||snap=12w21a|Written books can now be [[trading|sold]] to librarian [[villager]]s, at 1 written book for 1 [[emerald]].}} {{History||1.7.2|snap=13w36a|Written books can now be cloned the same way [[map]]s can, but by using [[book and quill|books and quills]] instead of Empty Maps.
