    I use the eye of Ender but I can't find the End portal. Any suggestions?

    Community Answer
    End portals are usually under the ground. Throw ender eyes in sky. If they move to any direction, continue moving to that direction. When you reach end portal location, eyes will not go to any direction but they will start falling downward to the ground. You may dig deep in ground to find the stronghold. Strongholds have one main room with End portal in it. You may need to get many eyes of ender for this. I always do this in creative mode. Just for the information, New version of minecraft does have a "/locate" command and it can tell you the coordinates for any village, stronghold, mineshaft, etc. and is much easier to find stuff.

    I'm in Minecraft PE and I can't find the ender pearl in creative mode.
    Community Answer
    Check that your Minecraft PE version is not outdated. You should find that the newest version has eye of enders in the 'sword' tab.
  • Question
    How do I get Ender Pearls?
    Community Answer
    You can get Ender Pearls by defeating Endermen. You also have a chance of finding them in stronghold altar chests.
  • Question
    Would I place the eye of an ender in inside the center of the 3x3 square?

    Community Answer
    You do not place it in the center. Instead, place one eye of ender on each portal frame block.
  • Question
    Why is this not working for me when I do it in creative? It never lights up.
    Community Answer
    Try standing inside the frame or floating above the center while you build the portal. The portal might not work if the frame blocks are facing the wrong direction (even if it looks right).
  • Question
    I already arrived at the location; when I made the portal it never functioned. Why?

    Community Answer
    Make sure the green tabs on the End Portal Blocks are facing the center of the portal. They Eyes of Ender must do this, too. Otherwise, the portal won't open.
  • Question
    How far do I have to dig?
    Community Answer
    Not very far, but then, it doesn't really matter. Once the Ender Eye shows you the place, you just dig until you reach it.
  • Question
    How do I make the portal?
    Community Answer
    You can only make an End Portal in Creative mode. Get 12 end portal frames, and place them in a 3 x 3 square. Put eyes of ender in them by left-clicking, then add one to the middle. Once you have done that, jump through the portal.
  • Question
    Where do I find the Eyes of Ender?
    Community Answer
    Kill a few Enderman. Eventually, they will drop Ender pearls. Grab the pearls, then combine them with the blaze rod on a crafting table. This will make an Eye of Ender.
  • Question
    What does it look like when you have found the stronghold? Does the eye of ender make a different particle effect?
    Community Answer
    The eye of ender will hover in place instead of rising up in the air.

    They most commonly spawn in the End in groups of 4, which ends out of them being hundreds of them. They have an equal chance of spawning in the Overworld in all biomes, in groups of 1-4, and are rarer then other mobs.

    Endermen drop ender pearls about half of the time they are killed. Keep trying!
  • Question
    Is there an easy way to locate the portal room? I've already been on creative, but I still couldn't find it. I even used spectator mode.

    In most of the recent Minecraft versions (2017-2018 versions), there is some bug that won't give you the correct area of the stronghold nor' portal. My End Portal was another fifty blocks away from the stronghold itself. So, if you have cheats on, use the /locate command and type in you destination. For example, if you wanted to find a village, you would do, /locate Village.

    Is there a separate way to get to End City, or can you just find it by walking around in the End?

    You unlock the End City after you beat the Ender dragon. A beacon-like object will appear, and you have to shoot it, then you will be teleported.
  • Question

    Endermen can spawn anywhere in the Overworld in dim light. They're not as common as other mobs, but if you keep exploring, you'll find them.

    Vortrexion

    No, it is not. But do not touch it or take any of it, because once you do, the portal will stop working.

  • Question
    I found the stronghold, but cant find the portal room. Any suggestions?
    B Chen
    Community Answer
    Don't worry. Strongholds are easy to get lost in, so be sure to mark the areas you've already explored. If you still can't find the portal room, recheck areas you've explored for an area you may have missed.

    Enderman only drop ender pearls. Eyes of ender can be crafted by combining ender pearl and blaze powder. Blaze powder can be made by crafting blaze rods.
  • Question
    Can I use TNT to dig?
    B Chen
    Community Answer
    You can, but if the portal room is near where the eye of ender went down, you could have a hard time getting to it. You might also blow up monster eggs, spawning silverfish. A spiral staircase takes longer, but is more efficient and will spawn fewer silverfish, if any.
  • Question
    Can I battle the ender dragon more than twice?
    Leonid Brezzhnev
    Community Answer
    You can battle more than once in the 1.9 update. Just place 4 end crystals on each side and the ender dragon will reappear.

  • Question
    How do I craft the End Portal?
    Community Answer
    It is not possible to craft the End Portal. However, you can build one in creative mode. Build an end portal around you while standing in the center. This guarantees that the blocks are facing the right direction.
  • Question
    If I stand in one place and throw two pearls, it never works. I blast the place up with TNT, dig to bedrock, no portal, even when I go exactly to where all the pearls land. What can I do?

    For some weird reason, in most of the recent Minecraft versions (2017 - 2018) there is a bug that won't give you the correct area of the stronghold. My stronghold ended up being around a hundred blocks away, and the end portal another fifty blocks away from that. I suggest making a copy of your world and looking for the portal in spectator mode, around the relative coordinates of where the Eyes of Ender landed.
