How to Make an Eye of Ender in Minecraft

Last Updated: March 26, 2021

An Eye of Ender is an item in your character’s inventory that can be used to find or repair the End Portal, which is the doorway between the Overworld and the End in Minecraft. An Eye of Ender can be created by combining an Ender Pearl with Blaze Powder in a crafting table.

Steps

1
Verify that your character owns one Ender Pearl, one Blaze Powder, and a crafting table. These three items are required to create an Eye of Ender.
- Obtain an Ender Pearl by killing Enderman or searching through various stronghold altar chests.^{[1]

Select one Ender Pearl and one Blaze Powder from your inventory. These items will be added to the 3x3 crafting grid.
- Verify that the Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder are positioned correctly in the grid. The Ender Pearl must be placed in the middle box of the middle row, and the Blaze Powder must be placed to the right of the Ender Pearl in the middle row. These items must be placed correctly in the grid in this order to create the Eye of Ender. If necessary, move the Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder into their correct positions in the grid.

Verify that the Eye of Ender appears in the single box on the far right. The Eye of Ender is a green orb that resembles an eyeball, and appears after you’ve placed the Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder into their respective positions in the grid.^{[2]

It allows you to easily create designs for banners and elytra, as opposed to using a crafting table and having to memorize everything.

Yes, it is possible to kill the ender dragon with beds. You'll need many beds to do this, however. When the ender dragon comes down to the bedrock platform, you can place beds then try to sleep in them to make them blow up and do damage.
