About Eye of Ender

The Eye of Ender is a throwable item that leads you toward the nearest stronghold. When you throw it, it sails into the air in the direction you need to travel, then drops back down so you can pick it up again. Sometimes it shatters on use, so it is worth carrying several.

Key facts:

  • Crafted from one ender pearl and one blaze powder.
  • May break when thrown.
  • Place it in an End portal frame to help activate the portal.

An End portal frame needs up to twelve eyes. Some frames generate with an eye already in place, which can save you a few.

How to get Eye of Ender

You craft an Eye of Ender from one ender pearl and one blaze powder. There is no natural source, so you need to gather the ingredients first. Ender pearls drop from endermen, while blaze powder comes from blaze rods dropped by blazes in Nether fortresses. This makes the item a stepping stone between your first Nether trips and the fight against the Ender Dragon.
