Locating strongholds
To locate end portals (and the strongholds that house them):
- Pressing use while holding an eye of ender will cause it to fly in the direction of the nearest stronghold, traveling through any blocks necessary, and leave a trail of purple particles in its wake, the same particle effect used for ender chests Ender Chest Type Tile Entity Physics No Transparency Yes Luminance 7 Blast resistance 3,000 Hardness 22.5 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No First appearances See History Drops Obsidian (8) Block entity id ender_chest .
- In the PC edition, the eye will lead to the portal room when the stronghold is first generated in the world. If the world is exited and reloaded, the eye will instead lead to the spiral staircase that was the first room generated.

- While far away from an end portal, the ender eye always travels upwards to offer an easily-visible indication of the horizontal direction the player must travel.
- When the player gets close to the end portal`s horizontal coordinates, the eye floats in a more precise direction that takes the y-axis into account. This often means the eye will travel downwards, to indicate the player is above a Portal and must mine downwards.
- After two or three seconds of travel, the eye floats in the air briefly, then either falls (becoming collectable again), or shatters in mid-air. The Eye has a 20% chance of shattering.
- The Eye of Ender`s flying function only works in the Overworld The Overworld, as seen in an extreme hills and a forest biome The Overworld is the dimension in which all players begin their Minecraft journey.

Activating end portals
Once an end portal is found, eyes of ender will also be required in order to activate it. End portals require a total of 12 eyes of ender in order to activate, though each individual frame block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender when generated.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
1.0.0 | Beta 1.9-pre3 | Added eye of ender, which had no use. | |||
In older worlds, generated before 1.9-pre3, the eyes may mislead you to a place where there isn`t a stronghold Stronghold Portal Room Biome Any Consists of See Structure First appearances See History Strongholds are structures that occur naturally underground, and are primarily important because they house end portals. Strongholds can be located using eyes at all. This is most likely because the eyes lead to where a Stronghold should be based on the seed, and seeds generate worlds differently in older versions. Therefore, if you saved the coordinates the eye traveled to in an old world and generated a new world with the same seed, you could travel to those same coordinates and find a stronghold. | |||||
Beta 1.9-pre4 | Each eye could now be placed in a portal block or used to home in on a stronghold. Jeb demonstrated the new uses for an eye in his livestream. An End portal within a stronghold could be seen in the stream with two eyes inserted into blocks. | ||||

A player can craft Eyes of Ender and throw them into the air one at a time to gradually lead them to a nearby Stronghold containing an End Portal. once the end portal is located, a player can place eyes of ender into each slot of the End Portal Frame to activate the portal. The Eye of Ender is capable of floating through solid blocks, as it leads a player to a stronghold, so digging may be required. It is even possible for it to float straight into the End Portal itself.
When an Eye of Ender is thrown, it will float diagonally upwards for about 15 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, emitting a trail of purple particles. Eyes of Ender will float in the air approximately three seconds before either falling back to the ground as a collectable item that can be used again, or shattering (an explosion of particles, which has a 1 in 5 chance of occurring). When the player throws an Eye of Ender within around 20 blocks of a stronghold, the Eye of Ender will float towards (or into) the ground.
