The Eye of Ender is a special item in the game Minecraft. It is crafted by combining Ender Pearls and Blaze Powder. Players use it to locate Strongholds, which are structures that contain the End Portal needed to access the End dimension. When thrown, the Eye of Ender flies in the direction of the nearest Stronghold. It can break after a few uses, so players should carry multiple Eyes. Additionally, the Eye of Ender can be used to activate the End Portal once enough End Portal Frames are placed correctly in the Stronghold.
