 * Maybe a reference? KazujaXYZ


 * References should only be added for things that have definite relations, such as the enderman = slenderman thing because it was directly stated by Notch. --HexZyle 01:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Odd naming
In my opinion "eye of ender" sounds very important and rare. Saying, "The eye of ender" rather than, "an eye of ender" sounds better. Hopefully it will change into a rare ender-monster drop rather than just a combination of two uncommon items--BTH 08:05, 7 October 2011 (UTC).
 * An Eye of Ender is no different then any other item in the game, no matter how important it sounds, as long as it's not a definiteness name, it doesn't get a 'The'. period. Also keep your wishes and suggestions in the forums please.--Yurisho 08:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Eye of Ender is not "just a combination of two uncommon items", it's a combination of the two most difficult to reach mobs in the game. To get a Blaze Rod you need to first reach Diamond stage, go to The Nether, and then search around for ages in the nether while being bombarded by the dreaded Ghast, to find the rare Nether Ruins. Then you must explore these huge structures to find the one dungeon room, dodge the pwning skills of flaming rapid firing flying creatures and then slay one and make it all the way back to the surface to combine it with the (now) very rare and (somewhat) overpowered Enderman drop. When you think about it, it is a very difficult task. Then if that wasn't enough, to use it, you have to search around the overworld for a Stronghold, a mission in itself. I like how the tech tree has been extended for hardcore gamers :D. Even reaching the alchemy stage is almost as difficult as this! --HexZyle 01:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess my section title may have had a misleading name, but what I neglected to say before was that I was speculating that the eye if ender would have a bigger use than repairing broken portal blocks. I was actually thinking that it would teleport one to the nether, which obviously is wrong. I still beleive that this is uncommon because although finding a blaze spawner is difficult camping there and grinding blazes would will not be difficult. Once one is in the ender picking off the endermen there appears to be easy as well. I do agree that finding a stronghold will be a long task.--BTH 23:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

One use?
Since it is neither on the Air Portal Frame page nor this page, I think somebody should find out if one can use the same Eye of Ender to repair a frame multiple times. --24.15.248.79 11:56, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well the only people who have reached the portals with an Eye of Ender in hand are ones that use creative mode, and when you use an item in that mode it doesn't disappear. So, we will never know unless someone tries it out legitimately, which is very hard (read my paragraph above) --HexZyle 01:52, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * the eye gets used up, one per frame block --Wizjany 02:09, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Reference to eye of thundera?
It looks like it, and has a similar name... --Gil2455526 23:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks absolutely nothing like it and "eye of something" is not unique. --Wizjany 23:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
