How to Make an End Crystal in Minecraft

Have you ever played Minecraft and wanted to make an end crystal? End crystals are an important part of the game, as they can be used to respawn the Ender Dragon, which is a boss monster that can be defeated only once. Unfortunately, crafting end crystals is not an intuitive process, and it can be difficult for new players to figure out how to do it. In this article, we will take you through the steps necessary to create an end crystal, so you can easily add it to your arsenal of Minecraft tools.

Before we dive into the process of making end crystals, it’s important to understand what they are used for. End crystals are primarily used to respawn the Ender Dragon, which can be done after defeating the dragon the first time. They can also be used for other applications, such as basedefense in multiplayer games, but their primary purpose is to allow the player to fight the Ender Dragon again and again. With that in mind, let’s get started on crafting your first end crystal!

Section: Steps to make an End Crystal

Now that we have known what an End Crystal is used for and its value in fighting the Ender Dragon, let’s dive into the steps involved in creating one. Follow the steps below and you’ll be creating End Crystals like a pro in no time!

Step 1: Get the Required Materials

To make an End Crystal, you will need specific materials, including a Ghast Tear, four blocks of glass, and one Eye of Ender. Make sure you have these materials before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Head to the Nether

Once you have gathered the required materials, head to the Nether and look for Ghasts. Ghasts naturally drop Ghast Tears when they die, so be on the lookout for them. Defeating a Ghast can be challenging, so ensure you’re well-prepared and well-equipped before engaging.

Step 3: Craft the Eye of Ender

To craft an Eye of Ender, you will need one Blaze Powder and one Ender Pearl. Combine these two materials in a crafting table to create the Eye of Ender.

Step 4: Obtain Glass Blocks

Before you can create an End Crystal, you need glass. You can obtain glass blocks in two ways: smelting sand in a furnace or finding villages and breaking their glass panes. Both methods are effective, so choose the one that’s most convenient for you.

Step 5: Craft the End Crystal

Once you have all the materials ready, it’s time to craft the End Crystal. Arrange the four glass blocks in a square shape in the crafting table, with the Ghast Tear in the center and the Eye of Ender on top. This arrangement should create one End Crystal.

Step 6: Place the End Crystal

Now that you have created the End Crystal, it’s time to put it to use. Place the End Crystal on a bedrock block on top of a four-block high obsidian pillar, strategically placed around the End Portal. Doing so will activate the Ender Dragon’s resurrection for the final fight.

Step 7: Aim the End Crystal

It’s essential to aim the End Crystal in the right direction to maximize its effectiveness in the fight against the Ender Dragon. Use the crosshairs to aim the End Crystal at the Ender Dragon.

Step 8: Start the Battle

Once you have aimed the End Crystal, it’s time to start the fight against the Ender Dragon. Activate the End Portal by throwing an Eye of Ender into it, and then enter the portal to teleport to the End dimension.

Step 9: Follow the Resurrection Process

As soon as you arrive in the End dimension, the Ender Dragon will be resurrected. You’ll have to follow the resurrection process in the right way if you aim to defeat the Ender Dragon.

Step 10: Use the End Crystal to Empower Your Attacks

The End Crystal does not only activate the resurrection of the Ender Dragon but also empowers your attacks. Ensure you use it effectively by strategically placing it and timing its use. Doing this will help weaken the Ender Dragon and increase your chances of defeating it.

In conclusion, creating an End Crystal is an essential part of the battle against the Ender Dragon. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a valuable tool at your disposal to help you win the fight. With a coveted pair of Elytra and an End Gateway at stake, your journey will be worth it!

How to Make an End Crystal – A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Finding the Materials Required to Make an End Crystal

End Crystals are vital items in Minecraft as they are used to respawn the Ender Dragon in the End dimension. Before detailing the steps involved in making an End Crystal, you’ll need to understand the materials required to make the item. The primary ingredient is four Ghast Tears, two Blocks of Glass, and one Eye of Ender.

2. Obtaining Ghast Tears

To obtain Ghast Tears, you should travel to the Nether Dimension and kill Ghasts. These are the floating, tentacled creatures that fire explosive fireballs. Luring a Ghast to the Overworld is also an option, during a thunderstorm, the chances of striking the creature with lightning increases.

3. Gathering Nether Wart

Nether Wart grows on soul sand found in Nether Fortress structures in the Nether Dimension. By breaking the Nether Wart with any tool, it drops the item which can be used to make potions or to craft a golden carrot.

4. Crafting the Eye of Ender

To craft an Eye of Ender, you’ll need Blaze Powder and Ender Pearls. Blaze Powder is obtained by killing Blazes in Nether Fortresses and crafting them in the Blaze Rods. Ender Pearls are either found in Stronghold structures or by trading with Cleric Villagers.

5. Crafting the Glass Blocks

Glass Blocks are made by smelting Sand or Red Sand in a Furnace. By placing eight glass blocks into a square pattern, you can create two Glass Panes. After that, you can use those Glass Panes to create Glass Blocks by placing them in the same pattern as before.

6. Combining the Materials

After collecting the necessary materials, combine the four Ghast Tears with two Glass Blocks and one Eye of Ender to craft an End Crystal. The recipe could be completed in the crafting table or your inventory crafting menu.

7. Placing the End Crystal

Placing an End Crystal requires more precision than just an ordinary block. You can place End Crystals on any surface that is not Water or Lava. It would help if you aimed the cursor carefully, so it appears in the center of the block where you want it. End Crystals will explode and deal 6 damage to everything on a perimeter of 6 blocks when destroyed.

8. The Use of an End Crystal

When placed on top of an Obsidian block, an End Crystal prevents the Ender Dragon from healing. On the other hand, placing an End Crystal on the sides of the portal will teleport the player to a specific location in the Overworld dimension.

9. The Ender Dragon Fight Strategy

An End Crystal is a useful tool in the Ender Dragon fight. After disabling the healing towers, you can place an End Crystal in an open space and use a bow to shoot the crystal. If you get the distance and aim right, it will damage the dragon.

10. Conclusion

Section 3: Gathering the Materials

Materials Needed

Before we get started on how to make an end crystal, we need to gather the required materials. In this section, we will discuss the different materials you need and how to obtain them.

Blaze Powder

The first item you need to gather is Blaze Powder. This material is obtained from Blazes, which can be found in Nether Fortresses. When a Blaze is killed, it drops 0-1 Blaze Rods. You will need to craft the Blaze Rods into Blaze Powder using your Crafting Table. To do this, place the Blaze Rod in the center box of the Crafting Table, and then place Cobblestone in the surrounding boxes. Once you have your Blaze Powder, you can move on to the next material.

Ghast Tear

The second item you need to gather is a Ghast Tear. Ghasts are large white floating creatures that can be found in the Nether. When a Ghast is killed, it drops 0-1 Ghast Tears. These rare drops are essential for making the End Crystal. We recommend bringing a Bow and arrows to kill Ghasts from a safe distance.

Eye of Ender

The third item you need to gather is an Eye of Ender. These can be crafted using Blaze Powder and Ender Pearls. Ender Pearls are obtained by killing Endermen, which can be found in the Overworld or the End. When an Enderman is killed, it drops 0-1 Ender Pearls. Once you have your Ender Pearls and Blaze Powder, place them in the Crafting Table as shown in the recipe to create your Eye of Ender.

Obsidian

The fourth item you need to gather is Obsidian. This is a block that is used to create the End Crystal’s structure. Obsidian can be obtained by pouring water over a Lava source block. The water will cool down the Lava, creating Obsidian. You will need to gather 7 Obsidian to create your End Crystal.

Dragon’s Breath

The final material you need to gather is Dragon’s Breath. This is an item that can only be obtained by defeating the Ender Dragon. When the Ender Dragon is defeated, it will drop a Dragon Egg and a large amount of experience. Additionally, it will create an exit portal. When you enter the portal, you will find a platform with an Ender Crystal on it. Use a Bottle to collect the Dragon’s Breath that is being emitted from the crystal.

This concludes our discussion on gathering the materials needed to create an End Crystal. In the next section, we will discuss how to assemble the materials and create your End Crystal.
