There are two crafting ingredients that you’ll need if you want to make an Eye of Ender - you’ll need one Blaze Powder and one Ender Pearl. It’s worth noting nice and early that you’ll need 12 Eyes of Ender in order to open a portal.

How do you get an Eye of Ender in Minecraft?

If you want to make an Eye of Ender, you’ll have to do some crafting - and you’ll need two items in your inventory in order to achieve your goal.

First, you’ll need to find some Blaze Powder, which is fairly easy to do - when you kill Blaze mobs, they drop Blaze Rods, which you can turn into Blaze Powder simply by dropping said rods into the middle of the crafting square.

Next, you’ll need to get some Ender Pearls - when you kill an Enderman, there’s a good chance they’ll drop an Ender Pearl, so it shouldn’t take you too long to find one. And now that you’ve got those two ingredients, you can move on to the crafting recipe!

Minecraft Eye of Ender crafting recipe

In your crafting square, drop the Ender Pearl into the middle square and the Blaze Powder in the square to its left. Combine those two items and you’ve made yourself an Eye of Ender! Take a look at the image below if you need some extra help.

What can you do with an Eye of Ender in Minecraft?

As you traverse the Overworld, your Eye of Ender will help you locate strongholds and the End Portals within them - simply hold your Eye of Ender and press the ‘use’ button, and it will show you the direction in which to travel.

Alternatively, you could make an End Portal in Minecraft by following the handy instructions in the video below. Even if you do this, though, you'll still need to have some Eyes of Ender handy!

Once you’ve found an End Portal, you’ll need to insert 12 Eyes of Ender into the End Portal frame in order to activate it - with that in mind, you’ll want to make a few of them before you head off on this particular quest.

When the End Portal is activated, it will allow you to travel to The End. In this dark dimension, you’ll come face to face with the Ender Dragon - this hostile boss mob is essentially the final boss of Minecraft, so good luck with that!

Yes, those are pretty common symptoms related to the notorious game. So we’re here to make your life easier and tell you how to get eyes of ender in Minecraft Dungeons.

Those are a pretty useful resource in the dungeons, as they can be used to locate strongholds and activate end portals within them.

So, without further ado, let’s see how to solve some of those headaches and let’s take a look at how to get the eyes of Ender in Minecraft Dungeons so that your dungeon-crawling experience is a little easier.

How to get eyes of Ender in Minecraft dungeons

Luckily for us, Eyes of Ender is a craftable item, so this means that whenever you have the required ingredients, you can create it. In order to craft one pair of Eyes, you will need two ingredients: Blaze powder and an Ender pearl.

To easily get those ingredients, you might want to locate and kill an Enderman (thus getting a pearl) and kill some blazes, which drop the required powder. Since, once used, the eyes will float and take the player to the strongholds and end portal, you might want to get ready to dig as they will pass through solid walls as well. Once reached, you can place it in the portal, along with 11 other pairs required to activate it.

We hope this guide was useful in helping you craft as many eyes of Ender as are required to find those pesky End portals. You might also want to check our Minecraft entity wizard guide to have some more useful tips in the blocky universe.
