Hi, so I have my first ever world still, which was made in 1.7.3. I've always generated new terrain on it when a major update came. Now I actually took the time to search for a stronghold in it and I've actually found the exact spot where the endereye falls, thing is it just lands on a normal stone block, not in a cave or anything just on a random block. I really don't understand why it does this, can someone help me?
If the part of the Terrain that is meant to have the stronghold in was generated before the Strongholds were added, it will never spawn.
You're only option would be to remove those chunks and force them to regenerate. This use to be able to be done with MCEdit, though I don't know if it has been updated to support 1.2's Anvil format.

I don't think you're gonna see a stronghold generated from a 1.7.3 world to 1.0 Released.
