How to Activate The End Portal in Minecraft

End portals cannot be created like nether portals in survival gameplay. These magical gateways generate inside special structures called strongholds. Players can see 12 end portal frames arranged circularly upon entering the portal room.

Activating Portal

To activate the end portal, you will need to place an eye of ender in each end portal frame. Most end portals require 12 eyes of ender, but end portal frames can often generate with a few eyes of ender already placed in them. However, it is better to have some extra eyes of ender.

How to make Eye of Ender

Eye of ender is a craftable item made using blaze powder and ender pearls. Killing endermen and bartering with piglins are two best ways to get ender pearls. As for blaze powder, players will have to defeat blazes as it is created using blaze rods.

Eye of Ender

After getting both blaze power and eyes of ender, place them together in crafting grind to make eyes of ender. These items are used for finding strongholds and activating end portals inside them.
