How to Mine Endsteel Ore for Upgraded Gear

Locating Endsteel in the Outer Islands

When you need gear that exceeds vanilla netherite in strength and durability, you must head to the End dimension to obtain endsteel ore.

1. Defeat the Ender Dragon in your world and enter an End Gateway to reach the outer End islands.

2. Travel across the island terrain and descend downward into the depths beneath the islands.

3. Search the deep stone layers of the End islands until you uncover exposed deposits of endsteel ore.

Forging High-Tier Equipment

After mining endsteel ore from the End depths, use the material to upgrade your loadout:

• Craft the endsteel into full armor sets and tool tiers.
• Compare the stats to vanilla equipment: endsteel tools and armor are designed to be explicitly stronger and more durable than netherite.
• Combine this armor with the charged staff or painite gauntlet to withstand hits from tough foes like the Magma Golem, Frost Ghost, and the final boss.
