To Go to the End, you need to find a portal hidden in a underground fortress (the stronghold). To activate it, you need to 12 Eyes of the Ender maximum.
On the other side, the’Ender Dragon, the final boss from Minecraft.
I. How to Get to the End
Minecraft account 3 dimensions the Surface (the’Overworld, where you start your game), the Nether and the End. The portal leading there is already generated in a underground fortress, and there are several around the world. You can't build it yourself.
To find it and then turn it on, you'll need to Eyes of the Ender ![]()
How to Make an Ender Eye
A Ender's Eye is made using two objects:
- 1 Ender Pearl
: released (between 0 and 1) by a Enderman upon his death. It piles up by 16. - 1 Blaze Powder
: obtained by breaking a Blaze Staff, retrieved from the Blazes from Nether.

Place the Ender Pearl and the Blaze powder on your workbench
. The order of the boxes has not it doesn't matter.

Find the fort and the gatehouse
Take a Ender's Eye in your hand and make a right click. The eye is drawn toward the nearest fort, then it falls back to the ground. Pick it up and start over in the same direction.
Warning: With each roll, there is a chance that the eye will to leave. That's why it's best to have several on hand, especially if the fort is far away.
When the eye plunges toward the ground Instead of heading horizontally, you're directly above the fort. Mine downward until you hit its walls:
- chipped stone

- cracked cut stone

- mossy cut stone

Once you're inside, put away your Eyes of the Ender : They tell you where the fort is, not the portal room. You have to search the hallways from top to bottom.
The entrance hall It's easy to recognize: it's the only one that contains a Silver Fish Generator
.

Activate the End Portal
The portal consists of 12 frames arranged in a 5×5 square, with 3 frames on each side and the corners left empty. Inspect each frame before placing anything: some may already have a green eye rooted in the creation of the world.
Make a right click on each empty frame to slide a Ender's Eye. Check that each eye points toward the center of the gate.
As soon as the last frame is filled, the portal is activated and the void fills with a starry sky. Jump right in in survival and you arrive at the End, where the’Ender Dragon is waiting for you.

II. The End: The Environment
The End is a floating dimension within the empty. If you fall off the island, you die and can't retrieve your items.
L'main island consists entirely of End Stone, a distinctive gray block. Some obsidian pillars rise from the island toward the sky. Some are protected by an iron cage at the top.
At the top of each pillar, a Crystal of the End is posed. These crystals restore the health points of the’Ender Dragon at all times. As long as they're active, it's impossible to kill the dragon—you must eliminate them first.
The End Stone The material the island is made of is durable but breakable. It will mainly serve as a platform for you during combat.
III. Fighting the Ender Dragon
The fight against the’Ender Dragon takes place in two distinct phases.
Phase 1: Destroy the crystals. Start by removing all the Crystals of the End based on the pillars of’obsidian. A crystal in a cage requires an arrow or a chicken egg to be thrown at it to break it. As long as a single End crystal remains intact, the’Ender Dragon continuously regenerates its life.
Phase 2: Attack the Dragon. As long as it's flying, use your bow: shoot at it from a distance as soon as it comes within range. The’Ender Dragon It regularly returns to perch above the central gate.
At that moment, he becomes immune to arrows, which bounce off him: use your sword to strike him in close combat. Be careful—once he lands, he’ll unleash his breath attack if you stay too close.
For this fight, bring a bow with plenty of arrows for the distant crystals, sturdy armor, and plenty of food.
Once you've killed the dragon, you'll receive 12,000 XP. A return portal A crack leading to the surface appears in the center of the island. A dragon egg stands atop this gate: it is a one-of-a-kind trophy—there is only one in the world.
To retrieve the’dragon egg, and whatever you do, don't mine it directly: it teleports somewhere else every time you try. Use a piston to push it, or place a torch under the block it's standing on to make the’egg like a regular item. You can then pick up the’dragon egg normally.
IV. The Creatures of the End
The End features two main categories of creatures.
The Endermen are the creatures They're the most common on the main island. Avoid looking them directly in the eyes—it makes them aggressive right away. You can wear a helmet made from a hollowed-out pumpkin to look at them without provoking them.
The Endermen They also flee from water. A disposable water bottle (water bottle + gunpowder in the still) deals 1 point of damage to them and causes them to teleport elsewhere.
During the battle against the dragon, they pose a constant threat if you happen to glance at them.
The Shulkers are creatures that you won't find on the main island. They only appear in the Cities of the End, on the outer islands. They fire projectiles that inflict the Levitation effect: you float in the air for a few seconds, which can send you plummeting into the void.
V. The Outer Islands and the Cities of the End
After killing the’Ender Dragon, small purple portals framed by bedrock appear around the main island.
To access it, throw an Ender Pearl directly inside the portal.
You'll then arrive at the islands outer islands, located far from the main island in the open sea.
These End Islands are home to the Cities of the End, large purple structures guarded by Shulkers. In these cities, loot is rare but valuable. In particular, you can find Élytres in the ships docked at the towers. The Élytres are wings that allow you to glide: one of the most useful items in Minecraft.
