How to Build and Activate a Custom End Portal

Arranging the Portal Layout

With crafted or relocated frames in hand, you can build an active End Portal right next to your base or out in an open landscape.

1. Clear a flat area where you want the portal to sit.

2. Place down the assembled empty End Portal Frames in the standard portal ring layout (a 3x3 open interior surrounded by 12 frames).

3. Ensure each frame is placed while facing inward toward the center space.

Activating the Portal

1. Equip Eye of Enders in your main hand.

2. Right-click each End Portal Frame to place an Eye of Ender into the frame's slot.

3. Insert the final Eye of Ender into the last remaining empty frame.

Once all frames are filled, the center of the ring will instantly ignite and fill with the starry dimension texture. You can now walk into the starry portal to travel directly to the End from your custom base location.
