Minecraft wiki entry for Tricks_and_Traps, associated text: This might be a boring strategy if you are eager to fight the hunters, but it might be very helpful in the stronghold. You see, strongholds are hard to navigate. It is really hard to find the portal room. You can make this harder for the speedrunner by using a silk touch pickaxe or smelting cobblestone to make regular stone. Then, collect some bricks from the walls of the stronghold. Go to the entrance and place down the bricks. Make sure to alternate the types of bricks, making it look indistinguishable than a regular brick wall. And then, put stone behind the walls, usually 2 or 3 layers. That way even if the speedrunner gets suspicious and dig into the walls, they will find stone instead of a portal room.
