Description

Eye of Ender is crafted from one ender pearl and one blaze powder, combining Overworld or Enderman hunting with Nether fortress progression. When thrown in the Overworld, it flies toward the nearest stronghold, then either drops for reuse or breaks. Repeated throws let players triangulate the portal room location.

The item is also inserted into End portal frames, and a full ring of twelve filled frames opens access to the End dimension. Because some frames generate pre-filled, the required number varies, but players usually bring extras. It also crafts end crystals, linking the same ingredient to dragon respawns and late-game obsidian arena projects.
