Eight obsidian, one Eye of Ender

Pour a water bucket on a lava source, then mine the obsidian with a diamond pickaxe or better; you need eight. Craft the Eye of Ender from one ender pearl and one blaze powder in the inventory 2×2. Pearls drop from endermen. Blaze powder comes from a blaze rod.

Eye in the middle

Open the Crafting Table. Drop the Eye of Ender in the very center, then obsidian in the other eight squares. One ender chest appears on the right; take it. The 2×2 inventory cannot hold this ring.

One shared twenty-seven

Place it. Every ender chest you own opens the same twenty-seven slots, even in another dimension. Silk Touch on a pickaxe picks the block up; without it you get eight obsidian back and the contents stay in that shared inventory. A regular chest stays local to the spot you built it.
