Get to the Stronghold Quickly

Locate the Stronghold

The stronghold spawns near your starting village. Head toward the coordinates shown on your map or follow the terrain markers. Unlike vanilla Minecraft, you won't need Eyes of Ender—the stronghold is already exposed and accessible.

Navigate the Stronghold

Once you arrive, explore the stronghold structure to find the End portal frame. The portal room is typically in the lower sections. Collect any End rods, frames, or other valuables as you descend.

Gather Ender Pearls

Before attempting the End, you'll need Ender pearls to craft Eyes of Ender or to have enough for the final fight. Farm Endermen in the dark areas of the stronghold, or collect them from the spawners nearby. The mod places multiple spawners throughout the map, making this faster than vanilla.

Prepare for the Dragon

Stock up on beds (for damage), food, and weapons from the nearby blacksmith shops in the village. The stronghold's proximity to resources means you can make multiple runs to resupply before entering the End.
