Looks like..
It looks like the eye of sauron from lord of the rings. --Amigopen The Gemini! 05:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- 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 alchemy is almost as difficult as this! --HexZyle 01:48, 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)
