Description

The Real End Was the Journey

Reaching the End should be the result of an adventure, not just a quick trip to the Nether.

Better Eyes completely reworks the journey toward the End by replacing the traditional Eyes of Ender with 12 unique eyes, each tied to a different part of the Minecraft world.

Explore oceans and frozen lands, uncover ancient ruins, raid dangerous structures, face powerful enemies, collect rare treasures and master unusual crafting challenges. Every eye represents a new path, turning progression into a true exploration campaign.

A new path to the End

Stronghold portals generate empty, and regular Eyes of Ender can no longer be placed into their frames.

To activate the portal, you must obtain and place all 12 unique eyes, exactly one of each:

  • Eye of the Sea
  • Eye of Antiquity
  • Eye of Bosses
  • Eye of the Blizzard
  • Eye of the Hunt
  • Eye of Mushrooms
  • Eye of the Trial
  • Eye of Discs
  • Eye of the Nether
  • Eye of Leaves
  • Eye of Nature
  • Eye of Ruins

Each eye has its own requirements and encourages a different kind of adventure, including archaeology, boss battles, Trial Chambers, Woodland Mansions, Bastion Remnants, ocean exploration, farming, music disc collecting and more.

Features

  • 12 handcrafted Eyes of Ender
  • A completely redesigned End Portal progression
  • Unique models for every eye placed in a portal frame
  • Exploration paths guided by custom advancements
  • Recipes involving rare items from across the world
  • New interactions with structures, creatures and villagers
  • English and Brazilian Portuguese translations
  • Designed around Minecraft's vanilla mechanics and visual style

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.3
  • Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer
  • Fabric API

The world is the key

The End Portal is no longer opened by repeating a single recipe. Every frame tells the story of somewhere you explored, something you discovered or a challenge you survived.

Explore the world. Collect every eye. Open the End.
