End Portal Recipe Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft an End Portal with this mod?
Combine 5 Eyes of Ender, 1 Dragon Egg, and 3 End Stone in the crafting grid to get the portal. The exact grid layout is shown in the mod's crafting recipe screenshot, so check that before placing items.
Where can I place the crafted End Portal?
You can place it anywhere you have room, including right next to your house or base. Just make sure the area is clear enough for the full portal frame to sit properly.
Do I need a Dragon Egg to make a portal, and where do I get one?
Yes, a Dragon Egg is one of the required ingredients. The Ender Dragon always drops a Dragon Egg when defeated with this mod, so you can get more eggs by fighting the dragon again.
How do I move an existing End Portal to a new location?
Break the portal frames to pick them up, then place them wherever you want. If the Silk Touch requirement is enabled in the config, you'll need a Silk Touch pickaxe to break the frames.
Why can't I break the End Portal frames?
The mod likely has the Silk Touch requirement enabled, so you need a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. Check the config options if you want to disable that requirement.
How do I get more Dragon Eggs for multiple portals?
Defeat the Ender Dragon again — with this mod it always drops a Dragon Egg. Each kill gives you another egg, so you can craft as many portals as you have eggs for.
What happens to items in my inventory when I break portal frames?
That behavior is controlled by a config option. You can adjust how the mod handles your inventory when frames are broken, so check the config if items aren't going where you expect.
Can I have two End Portals at once, like one at each of my bases?
Yes, that's one of the main uses of the mod. Craft and place a portal at each location so you can travel between your homes easily.
Does this mod work with other mods or on a server?
It's a standard Forge-style mod, so it generally works alongside other mods and on servers where it's installed. If another mod changes portal or dragon behavior, test in a copy of your world first.
Will crafting extra portals hurt my game's performance?
No, the portals themselves are lightweight and shouldn't cause lag. Performance issues are more likely from other mods or from having many entities loaded near the portals.
