After a friend of mine set up a server for us, the first thing we decided was to find a Stronghold.
This was 3 days ago.
After many, many gruesome hours of looking we still haven't found the stronghold. Just when we are about to give up, I just thought of an amazing idea. Why don't we let YOU help us?
The seed is 4736971523898062017 (Yes it is long, don't ask)
Please help us find the stronghold. We really, really, REALLY want to see what one looks like and to get some materials for a castle we are building. If you do find one, post the approx coordinates here so we can find it ourselves. We will be very grateful.
PS this server was made in 1.8 pre-release 1. Therefore that means there is only one stronghold. In other words, if you find a stronghold, it might not be in our world.

There is a really nice NPC village in your seed near the bottom right side of the map from the spawn point.
And here is your map, NPC village is on the right in-land. And your stronghold is out in the middle of an ocean on the left.
Thank you so much. Now we can finally get some cracked stone and get to work on our castle. Thank you again!
Though it may be annoying, cracked stone is also apparently dropped when one destroys stone brick stairs. So, you could always make stone bricks, then stairs, then break them. Though that does sound quite annoying. (Untested, just going by what I've read)
This stronghold is very difficult to find, i haven't even been able to find it flying around in MCedit in the general area where it's supposed to be at.
Yeah, we're still looking for it too... Can we have the exact coordinates of it if it is possible please. That would be much more helpful. Still, it's quite fun looking for it

Unfortunately cartography doesn't give the coordinates, and there is no real landmarks to guide you to the stronghold since you had the bad luck of a stronghold being generated in the middle of an ocean. It is going to be a very hard one to find.
You know what, after flying around in MCedit for a while i realized that i forgot to flip the other layer in the image. So your stronghold is not out in the middle of an ocean it's actually across the desert from your NPC village.
It's correct this time, i went and checked it out and there is a nice stronghold there.

What kind of land marks do look for when trying to find a stronghold?

Basically caves with above ground entrances, i have found that strongholds like to spawn near the NPC villages. Other than that just use Cartograph G to create a map of your world once you have explored a full map in-game then make another map that just shows bookshelf's and iron bars. Then overlay the layers and you have a stronghold map.
Your stronghold is right off the tip of an island on the bottom left side of the map and it's a nice one i checked it out, your NPC village is also indicated with a red box and there is a cool mountain on the top right of your map with a cave dig inside of it near the top.
I'm unfamiliar with that part of the map... It looks different from the ingame map I crafted (no similar landmarks/continents/rivers ect, I spawned pretty close to x-0, z-0)

In-game maps you don't get the good resolution on and everything is a rough approximation of what it actually looks like.

Yeah thats correct. Thanks for finding it for us. Now, time to start building!

Yeah give me a little bit and i'll post a map up for you.
