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 taiga 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 and say the following message:

“	Activate The End Portal! Return to camp and search the Overworld for Eyes of Ender and bring them back here to activate the End portal and travel to the End.	„
	— End Portal

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.	„

History

Minecraft Dungeons
1.10.2.0 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Kelp|Kelp]]<br/>{{About|the plant|the dried variant|Dried Kelp}} {{For}} {{Block |image=Kelp.gif |invimage=Kelp |transparent=Yes |tool=Any |renewable=Yes |stackable=Yes (64) |flammable=No |lavasusceptible=No |light=No |hardness=0}} '''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s. == Obtaining == === Natural generation === Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp. === Breaking === Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]]. === Trading === Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds. == Usage == Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water. When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation. Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]). === Cooking ingredient === {{smelting | showname = 1 | Kelp | Dried Kelp | 0.1 }} === Composting === Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1. === Growth mechanics === Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first. Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use. Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0). When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface. Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing. If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}} === Farming === {{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}} Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water. == Sounds == === Generic === {{Sound table/Block/Wet grass}} === Unique === {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Shear.ogg |subtitle=Plant cropped |source=block |description=When the tip of kelp is cropped with [[Shears#Cropping growing plants|shears]] |id=block.growing_plant.crop |translationkey=subtitles.block.growing_plant.crop |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: ''None'' == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Kelp |spritetype=block |nameid=kelp}} {{ID table |displayname=Kelp Plant |spritetype=block |nameid=kelp_plant |form=block |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Kelp |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Item |spritename=kelp |spritetype=item |nameid=kelp |id=382 |form=item}} {{ID table |displayname=Block |spritename=kelp |spritetype=block |nameid=kelp |id=393 |form=block |itemform=item.kelp |translationkey=- |foot=1}} === Block states === {{see also|Block states}} {{/BS}} == History == {{History|java classic}} {{History||May 21, 2009|link=https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/110762705/my-list-on-tile-types-so-far|[[Notch]] shows interest in adding a "[[seaweed]]" [[block]].}} {{History|java}} {{History||November 18, 2017|link={{YouTubeLink|mAapz_nIC_Y}}|Kelp plants were shown in a clip of [[MineCon Earth]].}} {{History||1.13|snap=18w07a|[[File:Kelp JE1 BE1.gif|32px]] [[File:Kelp (item) JE1 BE2.png|32px]] Added kelp.}} {{History|||snap=18w07b|Kelp now behaves more like [[water]], meaning [[mob]]s can no longer spawn within the plant under water nor can they replenish their breath by [[swimming]] through it.}} {{History|||snap=18w10a|[[File:Kelp JE2.gif|32px]] The texture for kelp has been overhauled.}} {{History|||snap=18w14a|[[File:Kelp.gif|32px]] Top of the kelp textures have been shifted slightly downward. |The generation rules for kelp have been changed, it now mainly generates in [[cold ocean]] [[biome]]s and can no longer generate in [[warm ocean]]s.}} {{History|||snap=18w20a|The {{cd|kelp_top}} has been changed ID to {{cd|kelp}} and {{cd|kelp}} has been changed to {{cd|kelp_plant}}, for both the [[block]] and [[item]] forms.}} {{History|||snap=pre2|Kelp is now destroyed by [[sponge]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-127111}}</ref>}} {{History|||snap=pre6|Added 5 new [[sound]] events that apply to kelp: <code>block.wet_grass.break</code>, <code>block.wet_grass.fall</code>, <code>block.wet_grass.hit</code>, <code>block.wet_grass.place</code>, and <code>block.wet_grass.step</code>.}} {{History||1.14|snap=19w03a|Placing kelp into the new [[composter]] has a 10% chance of raising the compost level by 1.}} {{History|||snap=19w05a|Kelp now has a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1. |Added [[Wandering Trader|wandering trader]]s, which sell kelp.}} {{History||1.16|snap=20w11a|Kelp can now be grown with [[bone meal]].}} {{History|||snap=20w13a|Kelp has been moved from the Miscellaneous tab to the Decoration Blocks tab in the [[Creative inventory]].<ref name="misc decoration">https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-174434</ref>}} {{History||1.17|snap=20w46a|Kelp no longer generates on magma blocks.<ref>{{Bug|MC-185605|resolution=Fixed}}</ref>}} {{History||1.18|snap=21w37a|Kelp now stops growing if [[shears]] are used on the tip.}} {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.4.0|snap=beta 1.2.14.2|[[File:Kelp JE1 BE1.gif|32px]] [[File:Kelp (item) BE1.png|32px]] Added kelp.}} {{History|||snap=beta 1.2.20.1|[[File:Kelp (item) JE1 BE2.png|32px]] The kelp [[item]] texture has been updated to the {{el|je}}'s.}} {{History||1.5.0|snap=beta 1.5.0.4|[[File:Kelp.gif|32px]] The texture of the kelp plant has been updated.}} {{History||1.10.0|snap=beta 1.10.0.3|Kelp can now be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 [[emerald]]s.}} {{History||1.11.0|snap=beta 1.11.0.1|Kelp can now be used to fill [[composter]]s.}} {{History|console}} {{History||xbox=TU69|ps=1.76|wiiu=Patch 38|[[File:Kelp.gif|32px]] [[File:Kelp (item) JE1 BE2.png|32px]] Added kelp.}} {{History|foot}} == Issues == {{issue list}} == Trivia == * In real life, [[wikipedia:kelp|kelp]] is not considered a [[wikipedia:plant|plant]].
