How to Craft an Ender Chest in Minecraft
To craft an ender chest in Minecraft you need eight obsidian and one Eye of Ender. On the Crafting Table fill every square with obsidian and put the eye in the exact center, and one ender chest comes out. Below are the items, the recipe, and where those pieces come from.
Ender Chest| Item | Qty | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
 Obsidian |
8 | Let flowing water touch a lava source block, then mine with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. An iron pickaxe does not drop the block. |
 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. This ingredient is crafted too — station below. |

How to craft these materials
Eye of Ender
Ender Pearl
Blaze PowderShapeless: the slots can sit anywhere on the grid.
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.
