However, things are a little different on the Bedrock Edition. It's optimized for mobile devices, meaning the game won't contain as complex algorithms as on the Java Edition. Strongholds spawn randomly, even above-ground. Potentially speaking, since there's no limit, there may be an infinite number of potential strongholds.
