Strongholds generate at any Y-level, mostly underground, but generate underwater if necessary. Strongholds may generate at [[Minecraft:bedrock]] level, cutting the bedrock.

	Most parts of the stronghold can be overwritten by [[Minecraft:cave]]s, [[Minecraft:ocean monument]]s, [[Minecraft:Ancient City\|ancient cities]], [[Minecraft:mineshaft]]s, [[Minecraft:fossil]]s, [[Minecraft:amethyst geode]]s, [[Minecraft:trial chambers]], and [[Minecraft:monster room]]s; but it is rare for the [[Minecraft:End portal]] to be replaced, which would force a player to find one of the other strongholds, as a portal can be activated only with all 12 [[Minecraft:End portal frame]]s present. [[Minecraft:Canyon]]s do not overwrite strongholds; rather, a stronghold can occasionally be found exposed by a canyon.<!-- verified in Bedrock 1.17.0, see talk page for examples -->		Most parts of the stronghold can be overwritten by [[Minecraft:cave]]s, [[Minecraft:ocean monument]]s, [[Minecraft:Ancient City\|ancient cities]], [[Minecraft:mineshaft]]s, [[Minecraft:fossil]]s, [[Minecraft:amethyst geode]]s, [[Minecraft:trial chambers]], and [[Minecraft:monster room]]s; but it is rare for the [[Minecraft:End portal]] to be replaced, which would force a player to find one of the other strongholds, as a portal can be activated only with all 12 [[Minecraft:End portal frame]]s present.
