Been using Eyes to track down strongholds and get to the location.. dig down all the way to bedrock and nothing. I read it could be because the map is from 1.8. Anyone know a way of fixing this in 1.9.5 so that there ARE strongholds added where the eye's will go to? Or do we need to wait for the final version?
I just spent all this time getting blaze rods and eyes so I could take this journey to find them.. all for nothing!
Yeah. You could delete most of the chunks with an editor and regenerate them, but because it's a 1.8 world, the seed'll generate vastly different terrain.
Also, at first I read your post as "missle strongholds?", and got really excited.
Recreating a new world and starting over again.. sigh..
how many times do we need to do this? I wonder after the release if they'll still jerk us around with stuff like this.
I mean even bukkit has been fed up with them and has stopped supporting it until after its done. But I think seeing the long list of bugs this isn't going be done this year. I see at least 3-4 more patches before 2012
Terrain generation was changed just to include mushroom biomes. I wonder why they didn't delay 1.8 a bit more to finish the terrain code? (which has horrible generation in 1.8+ by the way)
Actually, I've noticed this too. How I found this was as follows:
I created a Creative world on 1.9 pre5.
I used a seed that previously gave me 2 strongholds when I used 1.9 pre4.
I threw an Eye of Ender to pinpoint the exact location of the stronghold.
The Eye of Ender landed where a stronghold should have been.
I excavated the area down to bedrock and got nothing.
I tried this a few more times.
I still got nothing.

So is this a bug or...?
I just hope they add a fix for this in the final. I would hate to have to restart a multiplayer world all over AGAIN.
And no I dont want to copy and paste objects and stuff back into a new world.
Eyes of Ender direct you to the location that a straonghold should be based on your seed. If said location was generated before 1.8 (or possibly before 1.9) there will be no Stronghold.
Go generate some new chunks and start looking for a Stronghold a bit more far off, where you're sure that you're in new chunks.
