The End? Help for Unleashed

[Cosmology27]

Unleashed 1.1.3 server, I'm the host.
I've found the End many times, but this time I use the eye and it goes to a certain spot, and I go down there, and there's nothing. Not even a hint of a stronghold. I'm using an invisible texture pack, so I can see everything in the area, through the rock, and there's nothing at all.
From my knowledge, every world has three strongholds, but my eyes only ever point to this one, no matter where I am. I've also done sweeps across the land, at the designated lengths, checking for strongholds. I've done a complete sweep at a 500m radius at world centre, and another at 800m. I haven't found even a hint of a stronghold.

Anyone have this problem? Is there a reason for this? How can I find one of them?

(I know I can just make an Ender Portal with creative, I want to actually find the thing in this server)

Thanks!

I sometimes wish there was a command for showing coordinates to end portals in game. Sometimes eyes of ender bugger out on me as well. If only, such a command could be used as a last ditch effort to check if the world was badly generated and actually doesn't have strongholds or something, without all the time consuming effort of manually scoping out hundreds of chunks. Or, for servers and lazy players...

You mentioned you were on a server- is it possible there's an anti-cheat plugin keeping you from seeing the stronghold through the wall? Can you still see other caves?

Vanilla bug. Sometimes strongholds don't spawn. You're gonna have to cheat in an end portal.

Seriously? Sometimes they just don't spawn? Laaaame, thanks for the help though.
And I said I was hosting a server, I never put any anti-cheat stuff on, and also I can see all the caves and junk yes, just no strongholds sadly.

Yes, it is very lame. It happened on a server I used to play on before it died, while the owner was moving halfway across Canada :/ And I really needed Sheldonite and the other End GT ores...

My understanding was that vanilla was always supposed to spawn 3 strongholds. I've experienced where one such stronghold consisted of a single room and that was it, but the next one I ran into had a portal. I've yet to see a world without a working portal, so that's some incredibly bad luck there.

It's supposed to. I just skimmed all the Stronghold related code in the 1.6.2 source and I couldn't find anything of use to this thread

I think eyes of ender point to a location based on the world seed (like, the portal isnt even in generated chunks yet, but the engine "knows" where they will be).

If this is so, a change in worldgen, or a change in seed, or mismatch of any of those could cause the eyes to point in different direction?

Maybe worldgen mods could affect this as well?

im not speaking from knoweledge, im just offering ideas based on what little i know/can guess.

How about a myst age with strongholds for the OP's needs?

Ender portals in mystcraft ages are, last time I checked, non-functional.

 

[Juanitierno]

Ah, didnt know that... i thought they existed but redirected to the "same" end, so people considered them useless.

Any mods that allow you to craft end portal frames?

you know that to find a stronghold, the eye has to go downwards, right? you need to follow it until it goes down.
