Luki's Strongholds

by lukidonu

Luki's Strongholds adds Trial Spawners, Vaults and two new key types to the Stronghold structure, so players can open rooms with End-related loot before the Ender Dragon fight.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.19 – 1.21.11

What it does

Trial Spawners and Vaults are placed inside the structure, and a player opens a vault with a Stronghold Key or a Dragon Key. Inside the vaults are End-related items such as Phantom Membranes and Dragon's Breath, along with equipment that helps finish a set of gear before the End fight.

The server must run the mod, since the structures generate there, while a client may install it without changing anything for players who join. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and there is a Data pack version as well. Files cover 1.19 – 1.21.11 for the loaders, and the latest files are v1.0+mod for 1.20.3 on every loader. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

The mod is first published 2025-10-19 and last updated 2025-12-18. The author notes that the 1.20 build backports the structure without the 1.21 mechanics, so the vault features are fully present only on newer versions. Dungeons & Taverns uses custom keys too, which may change key textures when both are installed.

Key features

  1. Trial Spawners in the structure

    Trial Spawners are placed inside the Stronghold structure, adding a combat encounter before the End.

  2. Vaults with End loot

    Vaults contain End-related items such as Phantom Membranes and Dragon's Breath.

  3. Stronghold and Dragon Keys

    Two new key types open the vaults, one for each kind of reward.

  4. Pre-End equipment

    Vaults also hold gear that helps players complete their equipment before the End fight.

Use cases

Preparing for the End

Players who want more gear and End-related items before fighting the dragon can open the vaults in a Stronghold.

Server progression

Server owners can use the Trial Spawners and vaults as an added step in progression before the End.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want the Stronghold to hold more loot and an encounter before the End. Content creators showing the mod should use the 1.21 version, since it carries the full set of mechanics.
