With the limit of 3, Strongholds in SMP are long gone or taken before anyone else ever finds them. I personally ripped all 3 up out of the server I play on but would love for there to be more.
Secondly, perhaps they should use something other than the map seed to find their generation points ( Server time of day for example ).
Honestly, strongholds are only useful for cracked/mossy stone brick. All of the end portals go to the same place in the End, and once the dragon is defeated, it doesn't respawn (unless you spawn it in again).
Strongholds are still limited to 3 per world as of 1.0. Since we haven't seen anything about uncapping them in 1.1 and 1.2 patch notes, it is safe to assume that they are still limited to 3.

Ah, whoops, sorry about that. I thought they were uncapped at some point during the Beta 1.9 prereleases?
Did they originally spawn infinitely? I remember the community being in an uproar that since there was only one they were too hard to find. Maybe I am wrong though and it was the opposite. Refresh me!
I think it was one before people raged, Notch then upped it to three.
I thought i saw somewhere Notch/Jens saying that they were now infinite.
Oh about that person, He's only trying to make you mad, Just don't feed him and you should be alright :wink.gif:
It said that in the wiki for 1.9 pre-release 3 I believe? ..or some update around there.
After reading it I assumed it was true but then tested every single version after it and it's not true. So yes, it was one, and stayed at three. They totally dropped anything pertaining to the End and decided it's not important any more. It had tons of more potential but they decided not to get into it.
I think that for both SSP and SMP, there should be an unlimited number. Because, face it, 3 is a small number for a world that's eight times bigger than earth.
And yeah, The strongholds/end had so much possibility but after Notch wanted it out last year, He totally forgot about it all and stopped :sad.gif:
Well, I'm sure he would probably fix that and add a red dragon if he came back. Didn't he say he would come back at some point? I don't think Jeb really wants to work on it because he wants to add different things.

I damn hope he doesn't come back. Face it, Notch is only creative enough to start developing a game, he's awful at finishing it. Jeb taking over was the best thing to happen to Minecraft.

That is what I thought! I remember searching forever for one, never found one, and then was elated when they upped it to three. But to this day the only time I've found them is when the glass towers were pokin' out.
But nobody tell any other people I was right; it is like dividing by zero for some people to admit when they are wrong.
It doesn't respawn the Enderdragon, there will be one enderdragon per island. Once you kill it you would need to find another stronghold area, to find another ender island to find another one. It is the way minecraft should be doing things.

Never,
Ever,

No one can point to any point where they were other than RUMOR.
Use MC Nostaliga, and MCEdit etc on all versions since they have been added. You will not find more than 3 in any map.

Uncapped from one to three....

He sure will. He first wanted to make the terrain interesting and raise height limits, which were the biggest complaints.
There is no indication he forgot about it. To be honest, if it was Notch, he wouldn't even have though of giving satisfaction to the players.
I did say that he's only better at starting games :smile.gif:

Before 1.4 it should be done. It needs to be done.

Then we could not build cities in the end. :sad.gif: It should not be done.
Edit: There should be more then one ender island, but only one dragon that will respawn after death?
