So I'm finally ready to fight the Ender Dragon. I've got diamond everything, enchanted out the whazoo, and I found my stronghold. I explored every inch of the stronghold being sure to mark where I have been previously... And there's NO end portal! This is unacceptable! I'm honestly about to grab a bunch of iron pickaxes and break the entire stronghold! But that'd take forever. So before I commit myself to destroying the entire stronghold I have to know if there's something I did wrong, or if there's another way to find the end portal within the stronghold. I already tried throwing my Eye of Enders within the stronghold and they just kept flying up to the starting stairway.
I don't think I've ever heard of a stronghold without a portal in the Java edition except if part of the stronghold was first loaded in one version and the rest in another version, and I think that's only for the specific update when the position and number of strongholds was changed.
In Bedrock it seems to happen much more often.
The Eye of Ender does go to the starting stairway, not the portal, so that's normal.
Sometimes the stronghold is in separate pieces with no direct connection, usually it's just a corridor that's blocked off by a wall, if you can find the right wall you can just knock it down and find the rest of the stronghold but that's not so easy to do.
Either go around knocking holes in walls till you find an unexplored corridor on the other side or use spectator mode to find the rest of the stronghold.
(Open the game to LAN to enable cheats if you have them turned off for some reason.)
Hello Major, it does glitch once in a while. If it's a glitch it can be regenerated with the right Mod.
What seed and version are you playing? With java there are many strongholds, Where are you looking for your stronghold? I'll take a look and If I find it post its location under a spoiler.

I've had two strongholds surrounded by water that were very difficult to find. I think I've had two worlds where they just weren't there; //regen fixed those.
If it does turn out to be a glitched stronghold, which does happen, you may just have to go look for another one. Frustrating, and rare, but it happens.
sometimes the portal room is blocked. Ibxtoycat found a stronghold and after looking at the blocks in the stronghold he determined that the portal was behind the wall and used creepers to blow it up. He was doing a no mining challenge.

Just testing.
