Surface Stronghold Entrance

A mysterious dark shaft on the surface that goes straight down into the Stronghold. Maybe at one point there was a spiral staircase but over the years it collapsed. Perhaps there can be random remaining steps.

    This suggestion needs more love!

    Currently, strongholds are pretty much an in-and out deal. You just throw ender eyes until you get above the portal, dig down, and viola! you can go fight the dragon. No need to explore the stronghold. No getting lost. No epic battles as you work closer to beating the final boss. It breaks the immersion of the game.

    Adding an entrance to the stronghold would change that. And ideally, the ender eye would not lead to the portal, but somewhere very close to the entrance. Then the player would have to explore the stronghold to find the portal.

    I agree. This entrance could be disguised, completely invisible from the surface. Either Stronghold will have an exit, which seems to "fill up" or "fall asleep". Otherwise, the walled-up building looks somehow stupid.
