This is due to a stronghold being generated in an invalid location, such as under sand. From what I can gather, clearing your player data and running Chunkster (backup first) on your world should fix the problem.

  • I did run it, nothing has changed: in those locations there still is no stronghold; does this mean they have been created elsewhere, or that they have not been created at all? – o0'. Feb 14 '12 at 13:11
  • I'm not sure. This is a very old question on the Minecraft timescale, the biome generation and stronghold placement code has been updated multiple times since this question was asked. – fredley Feb 14 '12 at 13:39
  • Can you think about a method to discover if there are valid strongholds somewhere? Should I follow this question http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/30340/how-can-i-find-my-worlds-strongholds or is there a cheaper method to just check if they exist? – o0'. Feb 14 '12 at 13:57
  • Get yourself an eye of ender and see if you can find one! – fredley Feb 14 '12 at 13:59
  • I thought about that, but what if there is just one instead of all three? – o0'. Feb 14 '12 at 14:02
