Template:Infobox

The Stronghold is the first mission that can be found within the echoing void DLC of Minecraft Dungeons. 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 the Creeper Woods, the Soggy Swamp, the Pumpkin Pastures, the Cacti Canyon, the Desert Temple, and the Highblock Halls. To open the End Portal that resides within the stronghold the hero must retrieve these eyes and bring them back. Once opened, the otherworldly map will be unlocked within the "Other Dimensions" Tab. The first location on that map is the End Wilds^[1].

“	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.	„

Objectives

The Stronghold

Find the End portal.

Travel to the End

Place the eyes of the Ender.

Appearance

The stronghold is a massive collection of ruins made up of stone bricks and wood located in a lush cave. 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 by Eye of Ender doors. When clicked on, the following message appears:

“	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.	„

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.

== Usage ==

The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.

A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],‌{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].

It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].

A '''minecart with command block''' is an impulse{{only|java|short=y}} or repeating{{only|bedrock|education|short=y}} [[command block]] inside a [[minecart]].

== Obtaining ==

The minecart with command block is obtainable only using the [[command]] {{cmd|give @s command_block_minecart}}, as it does not appear in the creative inventory{{only|BE}} and has no [[crafting]] recipe. It can also be summoned using the command {{cmd|summon command_block_minecart}}. It can be broken like any other minecart, but only the minecart is retained, while the command block is lost.

== Usage ==
{{main|Command Block}}
The minecart with command block combines the functionalities of both minecarts and command blocks. Although the minecart visually contains an impulse command block, it functions more similarly to a repeating command block, and runs its command once every four game [[tick]]s when on an active [[activator rail]]. When it passes over a [[detector rail]] with a [[comparator]] connected next to it, it outputs the command block's result.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with command blocks use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group="sound" name="rollsource">{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

Added the stronghold.

Trivia

The mission was first announced in the same video that revealed the official name of the endersent.
The Stronghold has the largest and most versatile loot table, with more drops than any other mission.
This is the only mission to:
- Include the double axe and its unique counterparts, the cursed axe, and the whirlwind on default difficulty.
- Not award any items when completed.
- Not to yield any artifacts.
- Transition directly to another mission after completion.
