What is the use of Eye of Ender?


The Eye of Ender is used for locating strongholds and activating end portals. When players ‘use’ the Eye of Ender it flies up into the air and moves in the direction of the nearest stronghold. Once you have located an End portal, you will need to place Eyes of Enders in the slots around the portal to activate it.


An End portal requires a total of 12 Eye of Enders to activate it and each frame-block has a 10% chance of having an Eye of Ender already placed inside. The Eye of Ender is also required to craft an End crystal and an Ender chest.
