no stronghold under eye of ender sight

hey guys, so I'm not finding any stronghold under where my eyes of ender insist it it.

things that I've taken as possible reasons are.

(don't be mad) i had previously, a copied version of minecraft before i fell in love and bought it officially, but my old save files were still able to be used, even though they were from an older version, so i kept using the same file from what was probably a much older version. i heard that now there are three strongholds per world, and maybe my eye is using old algorithms.

i know this probably isn't a bug as much as "serves you right for copying mine craft you miscreant" kinda thing, but it would be lovely if there was a resolution.

thanks for your time. shittyciaran.
