Stronghold generation on Bedrock Edition is diversed compared to Java
Here are multiple reasons why:
Some strongholds won't generate an End Portal room (this is considered as a feature and not a bug)
3 strongholds generate from 0,0 within a ring of radius between 640 and 1152 blocks then other strongholds are randomly generated throughout the world
Stronghold generations on MCBE are inconsistent unlike Java where there are 8 rings of radius from 0,0 which a given amount of strongholds generate
Loot table generation on Altars, Storerooms, and Libraries are lower compared to Java
No Iron doors spawn on MCBE strongholds
We're expecting this issue to be resolved ASAP since finding multiple strongholds is much harder and unpredictable to locate on where to find them. Having multiple players on a realm/server and sticking on one end portal room is strange compared to Java Edition.
