FAQ
How do I craft an Eye of Ender?
Combine one Ender Pearl with one Blaze Powder in the crafting grid to produce a single Eye of Ender.
How do I find a stronghold with it?
Throw the eye and follow the direction it flies. It travels up when the stronghold is far and downward when you are close, guiding you to the End Portal room.
Do thrown Eyes of Ender break?
Yes. Each thrown eye has a 20% chance to shatter and an 80% chance to drop back for pickup, so bring extras when tracking a stronghold.
How many do I need for an End Portal?
Twelve eyes activate a full portal frame, though some frame blocks may already contain an eye when the stronghold generates.
