How to Craft an End Crystal in Minecraft
To craft an end crystal in Minecraft you need seven glass, one Eye of Ender, and one ghast tear. On the Crafting Table put glass around an Eye of Ender and a ghast tear in the bottom center, and one end crystal comes out. Below are the items, the recipe, and where those pieces come from.
| Item | Qty | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
 Glass |
7 | Put sand in the top of a furnace with fuel underneath. Red sand works the same. This ingredient is crafted too — station below. |
 Eye of Ender |
1 | Craft in the inventory 2×2: one ender pearl with one blaze powder. Pearls drop from endermen. Blaze powder comes from a blaze rod. |
 Ghast Tear |
1 | Kill a ghast. Each kill can drop a tear. Fire resistance helps the fight over lava. |

How to craft these materials
Seven glass, an eye, one tear
Smelt sand in a furnace for seven glass. Craft the Eye of Ender from one ender pearl and one blaze powder. Ghasts over Nether lava drop the tear. A fire resistance potion off a brewing stand helps that fight.
Glass, eye, tear
Open the Crafting Table. Top row: three glass. Middle: glass, Eye of Ender, glass. Bottom: glass, ghast tear, glass. One end crystal appears on the right; take it. The 2×2 inventory cannot hold this 3×3.
Four on the portal
Place a crystal only on obsidian or bedrock. Hit one and it explodes. Four crystals on the sides of the exit portal in the End start the dragon respawn. End crystals stack to sixty-four.
