Strongholds in Minecraft are where you end your journey. Here you will find the portal to the End, defeat the Ender Dragon, and beat the game. To locate the Strongholds, you'll need an item called the Ender Eye, which can be obtained from killing Endermen. But our question to answer today is: how many Strongholds are there in your Minecraft world.
The Number Of Strongholds In A Minecraft World
Most players don't know this but there is actually more than one Stronghold in every single Minecraft seed. In fact, there are a lot more of them than you think. In total, you may locate a total of 128 Strongholds in any given world. That presents a great chance of finding one no matter where you are in Minecraft.
But why the Ender Eye only shows you the way to one of them? Well, it's just how it works. The Ender Eye can only give you the location of the nearest Stronghold to your current position. Considering that you only need to go through one End Portal, it doesn't really affect your gameplay very much.
How Do Strongholds In Minecraft Spawn?
The natural generation of Strongholds in Minecraft varies depending on your edition of the game.
In Java Edition, standard worlds generate 128 strongholds in random coordinates within designated ring-shaped areas of the map. There are eight rings in total, with the center placed at the coordinates of X=0, Z=0.
Here's how Minecraft spawn its Strongholds:
- 1st ring: 3 Strongholds located between 1,280 to 2,816 blocks from the center.
- 2nd ring: 6 Strongholds located between 4,352 to 5,888 blocks from the center.
- 3rd ring: 10 Strongholds located between 7,424 to 8,960 blocks from the center.
- 4th ring: 15 Strongholds located between 10,496 to 12,032 blocks from the center.
- 5th ring: 21 Strongholds located between 13,568 to 15,104 blocks from the center.
- 6th ring: 28 Strongholds and is located between 16,640 to 18,176 blocks from the center.
- 7th ring: 36 Strongholds located within 19,712 to 21,248 blocks from the center.
- 8th ring: 9 Strongholds located between 22,784 to 24,320 blocks from the center.
However, things are a little different on the Bedrock Edition. It's optimized for mobile devices, meaning the game won't contain as complex algorithms as on the Java Edition. Strongholds spawn randomly, even above-ground. Potentially speaking, since there's no limit, there may be an infinite number of potential strongholds.

I've heard that there are only 3 or 8 from some people, while others say that they just spawn rarely but there is no set number. So is there a set number of stronghold per world or does it vary?

Java Edition has had a fixed 128 total strongholds per world since 1.9. Versions prior to that had 3. Strongholds are distributed in concentric rings around the world center with each ring having a preset number of strongholds and radius range. See here for detailed numbers.
Bedrock has no set number of strongholds, which can occasionally generate below natural villages.
