In this article, I am going to show you how to make an Ender Portal in Minecraft. As an avid Minecraft player, I have always been fascinated by the mysteries of the End dimension and the incredible Ender Dragon boss fight. Building an Ender Portal is an essential step towards reaching the End, so let’s dive in!
Gathering Resources
Before we can start building the Ender Portal, we need to make sure we have all the necessary resources. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 12 End Portal Frames
- 12 Eyes of Ender
- Diamond Pickaxe
You can obtain the End Portal Frames by either crafting them or, if you’re lucky, finding them in Stronghold libraries. The Eyes of Ender can be crafted by combining Ender Pearls and Blaze Powder.
Finding a Stronghold
Strongholds are underground structures that house the Ender Portal. To find a Stronghold, we need to use Eyes of Ender. Throw an Eye of Ender into the air and follow its trajectory until it lands. Keep doing this until it leads you to a specific location. This will be the entrance to the Stronghold.
Once you find the Stronghold entrance, dig down into the ground to reveal the Stronghold itself. Be prepared for mobs like Silverfish, which can be found inside the Stronghold.
Building the Ender Portal
Now that we have reached the Stronghold, it’s time to construct the Ender Portal. The Ender Portal consists of 12 End Portal Frames arranged in a specific pattern:
- Place three End Portal Frames in a row horizontally.
- Repeat step one until you have created a 3×3 square.
- Complete the Ender Portal by placing End Portal Frames inside the corners of the square.
Make sure that all of the End Portal Frames have their purple corners facing towards the center of the frame. The orientation is crucial for the portal to function correctly.
Finally, place the Eyes of Ender into each End Portal Frame by right-clicking on them. The Eyes of Ender will fill the frames, and the portal will activate.
Entering the End
With the Ender Portal fully constructed and activated, it’s time to jump into the End dimension. Step into the portal, and prepare yourself for a challenging battle against the fearsome Ender Dragon.
Once you have defeated the Ender Dragon, you will be able to explore the End cities, collect valuable loot, and even find Elytra wings to help you fly in the Overworld.
Conclusion
Creating an Ender Portal in Minecraft is an exciting journey that takes you closer to the ultimate boss fight in the game. By following these steps, you’ll be able to harness the power of the End dimension and face off against the Ender Dragon. Good luck, and let the adventure begin!
