To reach and activate the End Portal in Minecraft, you need a total of 12 Eyes of Ender. Each Eye of Ender is crafted from one Ender Pearl and one Blaze Powder. Therefore, you need at least 12 Ender Pearls to make the necessary Eyes of Ender to activate the portal
. However, since Eyes of Ender can break when thrown while searching for the stronghold, it is recommended to collect more than 12 Ender Pearls to be safe. If you already know the location of the portal, around 12 Ender Pearls might suffice. But if you still need to find the stronghold, gathering about 20 to 30 Ender Pearls is advisable to account for breakage and multiple throws
. In summary:
- Minimum Ender Pearls needed: 12 (to craft 12 Eyes of Ender for portal activation)
- Recommended Ender Pearls if locating the stronghold: 20-30 (to compensate for breakage and searching)
This ensures you have enough to find and activate the End Portal and enter The End to fight the Ender Dragon
