Master the Portal Game: The FORBIDDEN Method to Create an Ender Portal! - Abbey Badges

Understanding the Context

Why Learn the FORBIDDEN Method?

Creating an Ender Portal isn’t just about brewing obsidian and lighting nether stars. The FORBIDDEN Method combines advanced spatial awareness, resource optimization, and creative portal design to help you overshadow standard techniques. With this approach, you’ll minimize material waste, craft stable portals instantly, and even surprise your friends with architectural flair—no spellbook required!

Step 1: Gather Your Forbidden Resources

Before light sparkles, collect your core resources:

• 31 obsidian blocks (optimize by mining in fort-type formations)
  
• 4 glowing nether stars (use Nether fortresses or command blocks)
  
• Fuel (smelted nether quartz or glowstone) to power the portal activation
  
• Optional: Decorative materials like redstone or blocks for portal frames

Pro Tip: Use a flying pickaxe and enchanted tools to gather obsidian efficiently—your time = your success!

Step 2: Structure Like a Sorcerer

Forge your portal with precision using a 4x5 obsidian frame—no smaller, no bigger. The FORBIDDEN Method emphasizes symmetry and stability:

• Stack obsidian in precise vertical columns
  
• Ensure the base is solid with interlocking block edges
  
• Leave 1–2 empty inner slots to control Ender portal activation

Why this works? A tight structure prevents obsidian collapse, saving you retries and giving your portal extra durability.

Step 3: Brew the Ender Essence

Now infuse your portal’s soul: place the 4 nether stars centrally inside the frame. The stars don’t just light—()unlock actual portal magic. Light them with nether quartz for stable Ender energy pulses. Avoid over-fueling—less is more! Too much fuel can trigger unstable bursts, corral Ender realms unintentionally.

The FORBIDDEN Method teaches mindfulness: breathe steady, align your focus, and déclenche the portal by placing your hand to the outer obsidian wall—or better yet, using a redstone repeater for remote activation. Watch NPCs or villagers pass through—success confirmed!

Step 5: Optimize, Modify, Dominate

Now Level Up!

• Customize the frame with enchanted blocks or mob-resistant materials
  
• Add a portal frame blueprint for instant builds via pressure plates
  
• Maintain portals with minor obsidian touch-ups—com preparations prevent block decay
