Hello everyone, today I will teach you how to find and activate the end portal, enter the end and challenge the ender dragon. First, we need to prepare some ender eyes. Eyes of Ender can be crafted from blaze powder and ender pearls, or can be obtained from village priests. We need at least 12 Eyes of Ender, because each end portal has 12 empty slots that need to be filled.
Then, we need to use the Eye of Ender to locate the nearest fortress. A fortress is a huge building hidden underground with many rooms and corridors, one of which is the portal room that hides the end portal. As long as we hold the Eye of Ender in our hand and right-click in the air, a purple particle effect will be emitted and pointed in the direction of the fortress. We follow this direction for some distance, fire the Eye of Ender again, and repeat this process until we find the entrance to the fortress.
If we don't want to waste time and effort searching for the fortress, we can also use commands to directly locate or teleport to the fortress. After entering the /locate stronghold command in the chat box, the coordinates of the nearest fortress will be displayed; after entering the /tp @s coordinates, it will be transferred directly to the entrance of the fortress.
When we enter the fortress, we need to find the portal room. This room is usually located in the center of the fortress and has a set of stairs leading to a horizontal square structure suspended above a pool of lava - this is the inactive end portal.
In order to activate this portal, we need to place the eye of ender on the handle on each empty space, making sure that all blocks are facing the center point. When all empty slots are filled, the portal will glow purple and the portal is activated.
Now we just have to jump in and enter the end! However, before doing so, be sure to be fully prepared: bring enough weapons, armor, food, potions, arrows and other items; and set up a respawn point in case of death. After making all preparations, let’s jump in bravely! Have fun everyone!
