Strongholds
New Strongholds (lukidonu's original, updated)
Strongholds
A community-refreshed re-release. Original by lukidonu — now updated & maintained by darkstarworks.
New Strongholds to uncover and conquer — bigger, more varied, and more dangerous than the cramped vanilla layout, giving that end-game trek a proper payoff.
Works great with Better Trial Chambers: these strongholds include trial spawners and trial vaults, so you can pair the pack with TCP (+ its premium modules) to snapshot, protect, auto-reset and manage each one just like a vanilla Trial Chamber — turning it into renewable, multiplayer-friendly loot content.
What's new in v1.2
- Overhauled weathering — cracked and mossy stone brick throughout, with the occasional silverfish-infested brick hidden in the walls
Why this re-release?
The original was created by lukidonu, who has since discontinued all of their projects ("Projects are discontinued #RIP"). I tried to reach the author but wasn't able to make contact, so I've taken over maintenance to keep the project alive and compatible with current versions of Minecraft.
What's been done by me
- ✅ Updated to 1.2
- ✅ Updated for Minecraft 26.x
- ✅ Fixed features that were broken or not behaving as intended
- ✅ Repackaged for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge & Quilt (data pack + mod)
