How to Locate the End Portal in the Reworked Stronghold

Tackling the Expanded Search Area

In unmodded Minecraft, strongholds are relatively small, making the End Portal chamber fairly quick to find. With this mod's overhaul boasting 417 unique rooms and 5 sub-stronghold types, finding the portal chamber requires methodical searching through extensive wings.

Locating the Chamber

1. Locate the Structure: Throw Eyes of Ender across the surface to locate the stronghold's general position. Dig down once the eyes descend directly into the ground to enter the complex.

2. Search Systematically: Do not rush haphazardly through hallways. Pick one corridor branch at a time, explore it to its termination, and block off dead ends before moving to the next adjacent hall.

3. Listen for Audio Clues: Keep your in-game sound effects turned up. The End Portal room contains lava and silverfish spawners, both of which emit distinct sounds through walls when you are nearby.

4. Check Multi-Level Chambers: The mod's intricate designs frequently incorporate vertical transitions. Look for stairwells, drop-downs, and hidden openings that lead to lower or upper levels of the sub-stronghold.

5. Secure the Portal Room: Once located, light up the chamber thoroughly, secure the silverfish spawner, and mark a direct path from the room back to your main surface exit.
