Progress Report!
We found the End portal! It was quite a task though.. First, we used the Eye of Enders to locate the stronghold, but once we got into the stronghold, we couldn't find the portal room, and the stronghold was weird and scrambled around. We were very confused. After spending some time exploring we concluded that it was a bug. We did some research and found out that if you made a server in Minecraft version 1.6.4, some of the terrain would be messed up when the newer version, 1.7.4, came out. This research said that strongholds could be all scrambled up, but the portal room would still be in that general area. So, then we spent about 3 hours just digging around in the stronghold to find the portal room. Then finally, Mr W happened to just randomly dig up into the room! We were so happy. Turns out it was in a very funny spot. In my next post I'll show some pictures.
