So far, the pre-release did alot of good:
Clamed people down about the unpredictable delay, Massive bug reporting and wiki update and so on.
New terrain generation is awesome (but spawning on an island without trees in the middle of a massive ocean is NOT cool)
So far evreything for me (except the oceans incident, lol) was just amazing.
My massive dissapointment is about strongholds like the title would suggest.
When we are talking about Minecraft, we are talking about a world that is nearly infinitly generating and nearly dosent have an end! This is not a terraria world where it has an end! Strongholds shoud imo spawn more then once, rarely, but more then once. Seriously... Once per world? on a world "larger then the earth"?
We of course don't know about how big strongholds are, but they are certainly very big, but obviously very small compared to the whole world.
Really? This was the only feature that dissapointed me greatly.
Must say.
P.S. instead of saying crap like "haters gunna haet" i would like for you to be honest and tell what do you think about this.
I don't need to say anything else, i've already done it.
It's true, I've spent over 4 hours in creative mode trying to find the stronghold. So far I found:
4 NPC villages
6 underground ravines
2 abondend mineshafts
Waay too much ocean and dessert
23 'Java has run out of memory' crashes
0 strongholds
I think it would be awesome if strongholds spawned once within every 10k by 10k area making them effectively 1 per map due to most people never going that far away from spawn, but this way all of the hardcore people who want the challenge can do more than 1. Also it would be awesome to take over a stronghold and use it as a base... twice and have a railroad between them.
They should add an item like a compass but make it point to the stronghold. Make it require diamonds or only be found in mineshafts or something so its not too easy to find.

or something like this.
It would be stupid if there were seeds with like 3 strongholds beside eachother

indeed it would be sorta stupid, but there is an infinite combination is seeds! mixing letters and numbers!
How many seed did we found that has two monster spawners beside eachother? (i've only seen one, but could be many more, like i said the combination are infinite!)
Hey guys, I have seen a thousand abandoned mineshafts and ravines (Oh my god, there are so many the entire underground area for my map is filled with them).
Sorta descriptive of what happens in Minecraft Servers. Overbuilding and **** like that.
I haven't found one yet either, I get that they are rare but one per world seems scarce, then again when I find one I'll be super excited. Same as the first duengon I found.
If a stronghold spawns only once on a world 4 x the size of earth where you can only explore at the spring speed then it seems very unlikely a large portion of players will ever find strongholds.
Where the hell did you see there is only ONE stronghold per world ?
All I saw about stronghold in this forum are here:
"Strongholds
* - Can only Spawn 500 blocks from 0,0 (so 501 Y and X cords) or beyond, likely for balance to stop newbies getting massacred inside.
- Strongholds can be described as 'souped up' dungeons from what we've seen of them. They are crumbling, underground ruins with doors, and new blocks never seen before (iron reeds) and appear to have multiple floors with stairwells leading to different areas. (need to link image!)
- Above ground their entrance appears to be 'ruins' made of the new grey-brick, made of cracked, normal, and mossy cobbled variations, which seem to lead into the Stronghold below.
- There are iron bars seen in the screen of Strongholds, but no clarification/better image of what they are, or what they truly look like. Possibly new types of fences, or doors.
- We can assume boss mob(s) will spawn inside here and the Mine shafts when they are finally added.
- Over-all the Strongholds will provide exciting, new places to explore and hopefully wonderful treasures and the thrill of adventure as well!"

Think, just think, it can't be true. It's ridiculous.

some people don't know what a source is, there's no source from a human, I see it on the front page, and people spreading it on the forums, has anyone personally verified how they know this? Notch hasn't confirmed it, Jens hasn't, at least not that I've seen, now if it's somewhere in the code I'ld like the source of the discovery but until then I'm just going to say they're sufficiently rare, but once per world does not make sense and has not been verified well enough for me.

It's on the main page here. They don't cite a source, but I would hope they wouldn't post baseless rumors as fact right on their main page. >___>
-Terrain gen trouble?
-Make it rare?
-There is A LOT of loot in strongholds, maybe for balance.
4 NPC villages
6 underground ravines
2 abondend mineshafts
Waay too much ocean and dessert
23 'Java has run out of memory' crashes
0 strongholds

1.8 Pre-release features
"The 1.8 Pre-Release is available for testing right now! We've done some extensive testing, and discovered the following features:"
What kind of test can show that there is only one stronghold per world, since it's not possible to check that by exploring an entire world ?
I'll believe that if Jeb confirm it.
And, anyway, it's about pre-release. I don't care much about it, frankly. I care about 1.8 final release.
I bet most people read this and thought it only spawns WITHIN this limit
