Required To Make An End Portal

• 12 eyes of ender
• 12 end portal frames

How To Build An End Portal In Creative Mode

We'll build our Minecraft end portal by first making the frame using the 12 eyes of ender and 12 portal frame blocks

1. Build The End Portal Frame

Pick the spot you would like to make the end portal and lay down 3 end portal frames to make the first side.

Then still standing in the same spot, turn to your right (or left, doesn't matter) and lay down 3 more end portal frames to complete the second side.

Pivot again and lay down 3 more end portal frames for the third side.  Finally, pivot again and lay down the last 3 end portal frames to complete the 4 sides of the frame.

Make sure that the green tabs on the end portal frames are pointing towards the center of the frame. If they aren't pointed towards the center, the portal won't activate.

2. Add The Eye of Ender

While still standing in the center of the portal frame, we now need to add the 12 eyes of ender.

Place 11 of the Eyes of Ender inside each of the end portal frame blocks. Be careful not to add the last one while standing in the frame or you will immediately fall in when the portal activates.

So, step out of the portal and add the last eyes of ender to the end port frame block. The portal is activated when the center of the portal frame looks like outer-space.

Now you can go to the End and battle the Ender Dragon!
