MoreStrongholds
MoreStrongholds fills the world beyond the border with extra strongholds, after the 128 vanilla ones have generated.
What it does
After the initial 128 vanilla strongholds generate, the mod places additional strongholds up to 25 thousand blocks out from the centre. They appear at random intervals averaging about 4000 blocks apart, so exploring far from spawn turns up more of them. Strongholds are generated only in chunks that have not been loaded before, which lets the mod work on existing worlds as well as new ones.
Fabric API is required and must be installed beside MoreStrongholds. Because the environment is server-side only, players join without installing anything and only the server runs the mod. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the license is the MIT License, so the code is open source. Files are published for Fabric alone, across seven game versions 1.21.10 – 26.3, with 1.5 for 26.3 as the latest build.
