Uses[]

A player can craft Eyes of Ender and throw them into the air to gradually lead them to a nearby end portalinside a stronghold. Once the end portal is located, a player can place Eyes of Ender into each slot of the end portal frame to activate the portal. The Eye of Ender is capable of floating through solid blocks, as it leads a player to a stronghold, so digging may be required. It's even possible for it to float straight into the End Portal itself.

When an Eye of Ender is thrown, it will float diagonally upwards for about 15 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, emitting a trail of purple particles. Eyes of Ender will float in the air approximately three seconds before either falling back to the ground as a collectible item that can be used again or shattering (an explosion of particles, which has a ¹⁄₅ chance of occurring). When a player throws an Eye of Ender within around 20 blocks of a stronghold, the Eye of Ender will float towards (or into) the ground.

Trivia[]

• The Eye of Ender was first added as an item in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3 but had no use until the 4th Pre-release when each Eye could be placed in a portal block or used to home in on a Stronghold.
• In the beta version of Minecraft, the Eye of Ender looked slightly larger when viewed in the 3rd person view.
• Eyes of Ender are green, and before Beta 1.9 pre-release, an Enderman's eyes used to be green, so this item's appearance may not be a coincidence.
• Sometimes, the Eye of Ender can be obtained through trading with Villagers, though this is not common.

The Eye of Ender in Minecraft is a crucial item used to locate strongholds and activate End Portals. Crafted from ender pearls and blaze powder, it's a fundamental part of advancing within the game. To prove expertise, let's break down the components and mechanics involved:

1. Ingredients for Crafting:

   • Ender Pearls: Acquired by defeating Endermen, these pearls are fundamental in creating the Eye of Ender.
   • Blaze Powder: Obtained by crafting blaze rods from blaze mobs found in Nether Fortresses, and then converting the rods into blaze powder.

2. Functionality:

   • Locating Strongholds: When thrown into the air, the Eye of Ender leads players toward the nearest stronghold, floating diagonally upwards for about 15 blocks.
   • Activating Portals: By placing Eyes of Ender into each slot of the End Portal frame, players activate the portal to access the End dimension.

3. Crafting Process:

   • The Eye of Ender is crafted in a shapeless recipe using an Ender Pearl surrounded by blaze powder.

4. Distinctive Traits:

   • Movement Through Blocks: The Eye of Ender can float through solid blocks as it guides players to a stronghold, sometimes requiring digging to reach the destination.
   • Durability: Upon being thrown, it floats for about three seconds before either falling back as a collectible or shattering with a 1/5 chance of exploding into particles.

5. Historical Trivia:

   • The Eye of Ender was introduced in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3 but gained its functionality in the 4th Pre-release update.
   • In an earlier version, the Enderman's eyes used to be green, potentially influencing the appearance of the Eye of Ender.

Understanding the Eye of Ender involves comprehending the crafting process, its usage in locating strongholds, and its tie to crucial elements like ender pearls and blaze powder. This knowledge helps players progress within Minecraft by accessing the End dimension and facing its challenges.
