Strongholds are one of the rarest structures in the game, meaning players will find more rare loot here. The stronghold is where players will need to go to access the End.

In the stronghold, they can find good loot such as enchanted books, horse armor, diamonds, food, and ingots. To find a stronghold, players will need to throw down an ender eye and find the spot where the eye hovers.

Dig down in this spot, and the stronghold will be there.


#4 Mineshafts

Mineshafts are a bit more common than strongholds, but they still have really good loot located inside them. Abandoned mineshafts can be found underground when exploring specific caves and ravines.

In mineshafts, players can find precious items such as coal, diamonds, redstone, lapis, iron ingots, enchanted books, pickaxes, and even emeralds.
