Back in the early days ofMinecraft, there were only three Strongholds per world. Since then, there have been many updates that have altered the world generation, with Strongholds being part of that. This leads to players wondering exactly how many there are. The answer to this depends entirely on which version ofMinecraftyou are playing.
Bedrock Edition
In Bedrock Edition, the amount of Strongholds is only limited by the space of the world. They have no set distance from each other or the spawn point, so they can generate together. Technically, this means there is no set amount of Strongholds, and how many you have in your world is entirely random.
