In the castle, theres a couple of bookshelves. One of the bookshelves isn't filled in all the way. Theres wood in the middle. I mined it out and I fell into a cave with a stone block in it. Didn't bother to mine all of it, or around it for that matter. Could be something interesting. Or it could just be the Map Makers being lazy.
i found a load of DIAMONDS in one tunnel right off of the second village.
and i happened to record the coordinates
X: 274, Y: 67, Z: -23
now of course this only the entrance to the tunnel
but it's a very short tunnel that mainly descends almost completely vertical
so grab a stack of dirt, make some spiraling stairs around
you'll find 3 groups of diamonds, i got i think 11 total diamonds
also, if you have wood with you, make a crafting station down there after you mine the diamonds
and make a diamond pickaxe to mine the obsidian at the very bottom, under the water :>
and easy nether portal for you!
Spawn is basically the same.
Chest when leaving spawn, has Music Disc, Jukebox, Bow and 20 arrows
Chest in 'A' of the Minecraft sign facing the 1st village, has Music Disc and full Diamond armor.
Secret room under 1x1 well in 1st village, has Chest with Music Disc and full Gold armor.
2nd part of 1st village, connected by stone brick tower.
In 2nd part of 1st village there is a cobble tower, chest w/ diamond shovel.
Behind Spawn there is a mountain, with a fortress with automated drawbridge facing spawn, in the fortress there is a main chamber and 3 smaller ones.
---Left Chamber: Nothing
---Middle Chamber: Upstairs, Downstairs, Chest upstairs with Music Disc and full Iron armor.
---Right Chamber: Nether Portal w/ sticky piston door, switch is on ceiling.
On top of Mountain Fortress is built into there is a Chest w/ a Music disc and a Diamond Sword
In the desert to the right of the village (facing village entrance) there is a desert with a 2nd village
In cobble tower. In 2nd village there is a chest with something (forgot what) and a Music Disc
Straight underneath the 2x2 well in the 2nd village is an abandoned mineshaft with a spawner and several chests containing pumpkin/melon seeds and diamonds.
Swamp biome near 2nd village with two ravines intersecting in a sort of x, one is above ground, the other below.
Anything anyone else has found? I'd like to know where the stronghold is. I haven't really explored the nether that much.
1. don't double post.
2. The "Mountain Fortress" you speak of IS the stronghold.
3. There is actually 2 strongholds.
The 'mountain fortress' doesn't appear to be the typical stronghold, rather a special build like the castle on the old tutorial map. It's different from any stronghold I've seen.
DiamondSwordPrez is right about double posting, however GDeatley05 you did provide some pretty good info - everything I have found independently and came here to share you already did!
*Facepalm* You haven't even reached 10 Posts.; I hardly believe that you made the first thread. Where's your proof?

The only two I found so far are in the mountain castle: to the right upstairs and to the left in the hallway on the right under the ramp.
I'll start from 1.8.2
2nd Village:
After enter the first village, head due east towards the desert.
Hidden chests:
I have found a few of these.
One is in one of the towers over the entrance to the Village.
One is under the A on the Minecraft sign on the side facing the village.
There is one
That's what I was talking about!
Sweet! First post! ^^^
