Pearl plus blaze powder

Endermen drop ender pearls when they die. Blazes in a Nether fortress drop blaze rods; one rod in the inventory 2×2 becomes two blaze powder, and you keep one. One pearl and one powder cover the craft.

Any two squares

Open the inventory 2×2 or a Crafting Table. Put the pearl in one square and the blaze powder in another; the shape does not matter. One Eye of Ender appears on the right; take it.

Throw it, or frame a chest

Use it in the Overworld and it flies toward the nearest stronghold. Some throws shatter the eye, so craft a handful before you start walking. Eight obsidian plus one eye make an ender chest. Seven glass, one eye and a ghast tear make an end crystal.
