Locating a Stronghold in Minecraft
The first step in your Minecraft End Portal journey is finding a Stronghold. Strongholds are rare underground structures where the End Portal is located. The most common way to find a Stronghold is using Eyes of Ender.
Crafting Eyes of Ender
To craft Eyes of Ender, you’ll need Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls. Blaze Rods drop from Blazes in the Nether, accessible via a Nether portal. Ender Pearls are obtained by trading with Piglins in the Nether or killing Endermen. Combine these in a crafting grid.
