An '''End portal frame''' is an [[Minecraft:breaking|indestructible]] [[Minecraft:block]], 12 of which form an [[Minecraft:End portal]]. [[Minecraft:Eyes of ender]] must be {{Control|use|text=inserted}} into all 12 empty frames (if not already present upon generation) for the portal to activate and allow passage into the [[Minecraft:End dimension]].

== Obtaining ==
End portal frames, like [[Minecraft:bedrock]], are unobtainable in Survival or Adventure mode. It can be obtained only by accessing the [[Minecraft:creative inventory]] or [[Minecraft:commands]].

=== Natural generation ===
{{FakeImage|align=left|{{BlockGrid|e=End Portal Frame|s=End Portal Frame+sideways| eee |s   s|s   s|s   s| eee }}|End portal generation design}}

12 End portal frames generate naturally to form the [[Minecraft:End portal]] in each [[Minecraft:stronghold]] End portal room, over a pool of [[Minecraft:lava]] with a staircase containing a [[Minecraft:silverfish]] monster spawner. The frames generate in a 5×5 square formation, with 3 frames on each side, without the corners. Each End portal frame generates facing inward, with a 10% chance of containing an [[Minecraft:eye of ender]].

Each stronghold contains an End portal. {{IN|java}}, each world contains exactly 128 strongholds, so a total of 1,536 End portal frames are generated. {{IN|bedrock}}, there are infinitely many strongholds in each world, so the number of End portal frames that may generate is also infinite. {{IN|console}}, there was only one End portal per world, so 12 End portal frames were generated.

{{-|left}}

There is an extremely low chance (10<sup>-12</sup> or 10<sup>-10</sup>% or one in a trillion) for all twelve End portal frames to be filled in strongholds.

The chart below shows the probability of having each number of eyes of ender filled in (some values may be rounded).

Calculating the chance for a specific amount of eyes generating is done with the probability mass function:

P(X=number of eyes) = <math>\binom{12}{k} \cdot 0.1^k \cdot(1-0.1)^{12-k}</math> with k being the number of eyes.

== Usage ==
{{control|use|text=Using}} [[Minecraft:eyes of ender]] on End portal frames inserts them to the top of the frame if it is not inserted previously.

An End portal frame has a front face that faces the player when placed. Although the facing is almost invisible (one can distinguish only 2 rotations of End portal frames), all End portal frames must be placed correctly and face inward in order to be able to activate the End portal, and if all of the frames have [[Minecraft:eyes of ender]] inserted, the portal activates, replacing the inner 3×3 space with [[Minecraft:End portal block]]s.

If an End portal is built in [[Minecraft:the End]], entities are teleported back to the world spawn point in the Overworld, similar to the [[Minecraft:exit portal]].

=== Redstone ===
End portal frames output a [[Minecraft:redstone comparator]] signal of 15 when an eye is present. If there is no eye in the frame, it outputs a signal of 0.

=== Light source ===
End portals frames emit a light level of 1.

=== Note blocks ===
End portals frames can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sound.

=== Piston interactivity ===
End portal frames cannot be pushed by [[Minecraft:piston]]s. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by [[Minecraft:sticky piston]]s.

== Trivia ==
* End portal frames were obtainable and could be placed facing in different directions in the April Fools' snapshot [[Minecraft:22w13oneBlockAtATime]].
* The End stone portion of the End portal frame side texture does not match up with the [[Minecraft:End stone]] block texture.<!-- should this even be here? -->
