Jens Bergensten has just revealed another feature that will be coming to Minecraft, in the official release of Minecraft beta 1.9.
While Jens didn’t disclose exactly how it would work, he mentioned that he had “added a way to locate strongholds without cheating”. He swiftly added that it “will be available in the next update!”
Rumours currently point to it being something showing up on maps or compasses when players have made them, however nothing has been confirmed.
