How to build a giant End Portal Frame in Minecraft
The End Portal Frame block, 16 times bigger: every pixel of its real texture becomes one block. Plan it, gather the exact blocks and build it layer by layer.
- 16 × 16 × 16 blocks (wide × tall × long)
- 1,228 blocks hollow (19 stacks + 12), 3,520 solid
- 16 layers from the bottom up
- 14 kinds of block
Blocks you need
For the hollow build at real size, with 1-block walls. In the builder you can pick other block groups, a different size (½× up to 16×) or a solid build, and the list changes with it.
| Block | Count |
|---|---|
| End Stone | 469 (7 stacks + 21) |
| Smooth Sandstone | 193 (3 stacks + 1) |
| Sculk | 164 (2 stacks + 36) |
| Stripped Birch Wood | 94 (1 stack + 30) |
| Warped Wart Block | 89 (1 stack + 25) |
| Dark Prismarine | 88 (1 stack + 24) |
| Gray Concrete | 83 (1 stack + 19) |

…and 2 more kinds of block, listed in the builder.
How to build it
- Plan: choose the blocks you have, the size, hollow or solid, and the build direction.
- Gather: get the exact block list in stacks and shulker boxes, or download it as a Litematica schematic.
- Build: place one layer at a time, with a 3D view and a 2D map of each layer that counts the blocks in every row.
