How to Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:00 PM PST

If you've met someone special and you've been hanging out for a while, you might feel like it's time to pop the question (the girlfriend question, of course!). Thinking about asking someone to be your official girlfriend might have you freaked, so remember that it's okay to be nervous. By planning ahead just a little bit and keeping some pointers in mind, you can get the question out as painlessly as possible. If the timing is right and she likes you back, you might just land a girlfriend!

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]The Casual Approach

  1. Get to know her. If you're thinking about asking someone to be your girlfriend, you might already know a little bit about her. Try to chat with her and find out what she likes, dislikes, what her hobbies are, and what she does for fun. If you feel up to it, you can even add in a little bit of flirting here and there (a casual hand touch or a compliment would work great here).[1]

    • You can chat with her one on one, or talk in a group setting, if you're more comfortable that way.
    • If you've been on a few dates before, you might already know a lot about her, which is great!
  2. Catch her at the right time. Try to pick a time to talk when there aren't a ton of distractions or people listening. You can meet up in a public park, take a walk around the block, or head to a small coffee shop for some one on one time.[2][3]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 3 Version 3.jpg
    • If the timing doesn't feel right or you run into a group of people, you can save your question for next time. Don't feel pressured to ask if it doesn't feel right!
  3. Engage in some light conversation. Ask her about her day, tell her a funny story, or ask what she's been up to. Even if you asked to hang out specifically so you could ask her to be your girlfriend, there's no rush![4]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 4 Version 3.jpg
    • Compliments are a great go-to if you aren't sure what to say. You could try something like, "Your outfit looks really nice today," or, "I just love your laugh!"[5]
    • You can also keep it casual with questions like, "So how is work going?" or, "Have you been staying cool in the hot weather?"
  4. Confess your feelings and ask her to be your girlfriend. When there's a lull in the conversation, take it to a more serious territory. Tell her that you like her and ask her if she'd like to be your girlfriend. This is the most nerve-wracking part, but you can do it![6]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 6 Version 3.jpg
    • Try something like, "So we've been hanging out for a little while, and I'm starting to have feelings for you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
    • Or, "We've been friends for so long, I feel like I know you so well. I really like you, and I wanted to ask if you'd like to be my girlfriend."
  5. Respond calmly, no matter what her reply is. If she says yes, it's time to celebrate! You can smile, laugh, and confess how nervous you were about asking her. From there, you can steer the conversation in another direction to move on with your night.[7]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 7 Version 3.jpg
    • If she says no thanks or that she's not ready to be in a relationship, don't sweat it. Everyone's situation is different, and chances are, it doesn't have much to do with you anyway. You can continue hanging out with her or you can wrap up the night and head home.

[Edit]The Heartfelt Approach

  1. Befriend her. Take the time to get to know her as a close friend before trying to progress to something more. Learn about her friends, her family, and what she likes to do for fun to see if you two would be a good match.[8]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 8 Version 3.jpg
    • This will also give you both time to figure out if you have feelings for each other.
  2. Ask her to spend time with you one on one. Once you reach a level of friendship that allows the two of you to hang out without being in a group, invite her to spend some time with you alone. You could go to a park, a coffee shop, or even out to dinner.[9]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 9 Version 3.jpg
    • If you want to be cautious, ask her to visit someplace familiar yet different, like a different coffee shop or a nearby park that you have both talked about wanting to visit.
    • If you want to be a little bolder, ask her to spend the afternoon or evening with you without revealing your plans. You can take her out for a nice meal, an interesting show, or a night of dancing.
  3. Consider giving her a small, inexpensive gift. Unless you frequently throw gifts her way, a gift lets the girl know that there is something different—and special—about your time together this day when compared to any other day. A bouquet of flowers is always nice, or a box of chocolates to satiate her sweet tooth.[10]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 10 Version 4.jpg
    • Giving her a gift isn't strictly necessary, so don't go out and get one if it doesn't feel right.
    • You could also give her something that reminds her of an inside joke you two have.
  4. Tell her seriously how you feel. After you have spent some time enjoying each other's company, sit down with her and tell her that you have something important to say. Once you have her undivided attention, tell her honestly that you have strong feelings for her and would like her to be your girlfriend.[11]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 11 Version 4.jpg
    • Try something like, "I really enjoy the time I spend with you and consider you an important part of my life. I can't help but have feelings for you past those of friendship, though. If you feel the same way, or think you could see me as a boyfriend, then I'd like to go out with you."
  5. Accept her answer no matter what. If she says yes, then you're in the clear! You can keep hanging out and celebrate the fact that you two are now a couple. Maybe snap a few quick selfies to remember the moment for the rest of time.[12]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 12 Version 4.jpg
    • If she doesn't accept, that's okay too. You two can continue hanging out as friends as you look for romance somewhere else.

[Edit]Asking Over Text

  1. Strike up a casual conversation. Start out with a simple opener that gets the conversation flowing. You could ask her what she's been up to, how her day is going, or what her plans are for the weekend. Try to avoid a simple "hey," since that doesn't lead to much.[13]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 11 Version 7.jpg
    • Try something like, "Hey! How did the test go today?"
    • Or, "Got any plans for the nice weather this weekend?"
  2. Ask her a few questions about her day. Continue on with your text convo as smoothly as possible. You can see where the conversation leads naturally, or you can steer it by asking her questions about her day and what she's doing.[14]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 12 Version 7.jpg
    • Good examples include, "How are you feeling today?" "What have you been up to?" and "Did you have a nice day off?"
    • If she's taking a long time to reply, don't sweat it—she's probably just busy. You can wait until she replies to continue the conversation or just try it again another day.
  3. Send her some compliments or sweet messages. As your texting progresses, try flirting subtly with her by complimenting her or telling her how much you miss her. There's a fine balance between laying it on too thick and being sweet, so try to toe it as carefully as possible![15]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 13 Version 7.jpg
    • Try something like, "You always make me laugh."
    • Or, "I wish I could see your pretty face right now."
    • You could even sprinkle in a few Emojis here and there to amp up the romance.
  4. Tell her that you like her. If you're getting vibes that she might like you too, go ahead and let her know. You don't have to be super serious about it, so keep it fun and casual. This is a text convo, after all![16]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 14 Version 7.jpg
    • Try something like, "Hey, so I really like you."
    • Telling someone about your feelings over text isn't ideal, but if you live far away or can't meet up, it might be the only option you have.
  5. Pop the question directly. After you confess your feelings to her, it's time to ask the big question. Go ahead and send that text message, even if it makes you super nervous. If you don't ask, you'll never know![17]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 15 Version 7.jpg
    • A direct approach would be something like, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
    • Or you could try, "I'd love it if we could make our relationship official."
  6. Accept her response with grace. If she says yes, wahoo! You can ask her to meet up sometime soon face to face, or you can call her on the phone to express how happy you are. Your efforts paid off, and now you have the girlfriend of your dreams.[18]
    Ask a Girl to Be Your Girlfriend Step 16 Version 5.jpg
    • If she says no, that's okay too. Let her know that you respect her decision, and try to remain friends, if you can.

[Edit]Tips

  • It can be really nerve-wracking to ask someone out, but you'll never know if you don't try.

How to Crochet a Bracelet

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST

Bracelets might be one of the best beginner crochet projects around. You only need to know a few simple stitches and have a few minutes to make a truly unique piece of jewelry. If you're really new to crochet, start with an easy friendship bracelet that you work using just chain stitches. To make your bracelet a little flashy, work beads along the bracelet. Once you get started, you'll love making these bracelets!

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Simple Friendship Bracelet

  1. Make a slip knot with worsted weight yarn. Get out a fun color of worsted weight yarn and pull about away from the yarn ball. Twist the end of the yarn into a loop and slip your thumb and pointer finger through the loop. Pinch the yarn tail while you pull down on the working yarn with your other hand. This makes a slip knot.[1]

    • If you're not sure if you made the slip knot correctly, keep pulling the yarn in opposite directions. A slip knot will come undone instead of tightening into a sturdy knot.
  2. Slide the slip knot onto a size US G6 (4.00 mm) crochet hook. Once you put the loop behind the point of the crochet hook, pull gently until the yarn is snug. Resist the urge to pull tightly or it will be tricky to make chain stitches for your bracelet.[2]

  3. Make a chain stitch to start your bracelet. Wrap the yarn around the hook once and pull it through the loop. This forms a new chain stitch. Don't pull the working yarn tightly after you make the chain stitch or you'll have a hard time working more stitches.[3]

  4. Chain enough stitches to wrap the bracelet around your wrist. Keep making chains until you have a long crocheted cord. Check the bracelet length every once in a while by wrapping it around your wrist. Stop crocheting chain stitches once you can bring the ends of the bracelet together at your wrist.[4]

    • For example, make around 30 chains for a large bracelet or 20 chains for a small one.
    • If you're making the friendship bracelet for a friend, measure their wrist so you know how long to make the chain.
    • You can crochet the bracelet so it's a lot longer than your wrist. This way, you can wrap the bracelet around your wrist several times before you tie it.
  5. Cut the yarn and pull it through your last chain. Leave a yarn tail when you make the cut. Then, pull your hook away so the yarn draws through the last chain stitch you made.[5]

    • You'll use this yarn tail to tie the bracelet around your wrist.
  6. Wrap the bracelet around your wrist and tie a square knot with the ends. To make it easier to tie, grab the yarn tail with the fingers so you can hold it in your palm. Wrap the other end of the bracelet around your wrist and hold it close to your body so you can tie a basic square knot with the ends.

    Crochet a Bracelet Step 6 Version 2.jpg
    • It is tricky to tie a bracelet around your own wrist, so ask a friend to tie your friendship bracelet if you're struggling.
    • To make a thick friendship bracelet, make 3 of these simple friendship bracelets. Then, braid them together and tie them around your wrist.

[Edit]Braided Crocheted Cuff

  1. Leave an yarn tail and make a slip knot. Get out lightweight yarn in any color and pull a long strand of yarn from the skein, but don't cut it. Make a slip knot about from the end of the yarn tail.[6]

    • Choose yarn that's comfortable since you don't want a rough bracelet to scratch your wrist.
  2. Slide the slip knot onto a size US 7 (4.5 mm) crochet hook. Slip the loop behind the point of your crochet hook and pull on the yarn until it's secure on the hook. Don't pull too tightly or you'll have a hard time working your foundation stitches.[7]

    • Read the yarn package to see which crochet hook it recommends you use. If you're using a thinner yard, you'll need to use a smaller hook, for instance.
  3. Make 3 chain stitches to start a foundation half-double crochet (FHDC) stitch. Wrap the yarn around your hook once and pull it through to make a chain. Repeat this 2 more times to make 3 chain stitches that will become a foundation half-double crochet.[8]

    • You're working half-double crochet stitches to form the bracelet without having to make a foundation chain row.
  4. Insert your hook into the first chain and pull up a loop. Wrap the yarn over your hook once and push the hook into the first chain that you made. Then, yarn over once and pull the hook through the loop. This makes a foundation half-double crochet stitch.[9]

  5. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through to finish the foundation HDC. To give you a foundation chain underneath your work, wrap the yarn around your hook once and pull it through the first loop on your hook. Then, yarn over once and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.[10]

    • This finishes 1 foundation HDC stitch. If your stitches are a little loose, pull the yarn tail until the work tightens a little.
  6. Work FHDC stitches until you can wrap the strip around your wrist 3 1/2 times. To work the length of the bracelet, just keep making FHDC stitches until you have a really long strip. To tell if you've made it long enough, hold the end at your wrist and wrap the strip around your wrist 3 1/2 times.[11]

    • For example, if your wrist measures around, make your strip long.
  7. Fold the strip into thirds and slip stitch to join the bracelet. Spread the crocheted strip straight and pull 1 end back towards the other end. Wrap the strip in a loop that curves away to bend the strip into thirds. Then, push your hook into the end with the working yarn so it goes through the strip that's hanging loose. Make 2 slip stitches to pinch all three strips together.[12]

    • This keeps the folded strips in place while you braid the bracelet.
  8. Lay the strips flat and braid them together. Take out your crochet hook and pull the loop of yarn so it doesn't unravel. Place the crocheted piece flat so you have the 3 strips lying next to each other. Then, braid the 3 of them together, keeping the strips loose as you work.[13]

    • Lay your crochet hook at the top of the strips or tape them to hold the top end in place while you braid.
  9. Thread the yarn onto a needle and whipstitch the end. Once you've braided the length of your bracelet, cut the working yarn and thread it through the eye of a needle. Then, sew over the edge of your bracelet's end a few times and tie it off.[14]

    • If you don't want to tie the ends together in a basic square knot, add a button closure.

[Edit]Crocheted Bracelet with Beads

  1. Slide 30 beads onto embroidery thread. You can use as many beads as you like, but try 30 to get started. Just slip them onto your choice of thread or yarn in the order that you want them to appear on your crocheted bracelet.[15]

    • To make a heavily-beaded bracelet, use between 30 and 50 beads, for instance. If you're using large beads, you might only want 5 to 10 beads, though.
    • Don't cut the thread before or after you add the beads since they'll slip off if you do.
  2. Pull of yarn from the beads and tie a slip knot. Slide the beads down towards the wrapped embroidery thread and pull until you have a yarn tail. Then, make a slip knot near the end of the tail.[16]

    • Remember, to make a slip knot, twist the yarn into a loop. Put your thumb and forefinger through it and pinch the tail. At the same time, pull down on the working yarn.
  3. Put the knot on a US C (2.5 mm) crochet hook and make 39 chain stitches. Place the slip knot behind the point of the crochet hook and pull gently to secure it to the hook. Then, wrap the yarn once around the hook and pull it through the loop to make 1 chain. Repeat this 38 times to make a total of 39 chain stitches.[17]

    • Once you finish the chain stitches, you'll have a crocheted cord that forms the basis for the bracelet.
  4. Slip 1 stitch and slip stitch into every chain across the cord. Once you reach the end of the cord, push your hook into the chain stitch you just made. Wrap the yarn around the hook once and pull it through the loop. To finish the slip stitch, pull the loop through the other one on your hook. Repeat this for every stitch across your bracelet.[18]

  5. Make 1 chain stitch and slip stitch into the next 4 stitches. Create 1 chain stitch at the end of your cord and make 4 slip stitches so your bracelet has a smooth space before you add beads to it. This starts the third row of your bracelet.[19]

  6. Slide a bead onto the bracelet and slip stitch to secure it. When you're ready to add a bead, push your hook into the next stitch. Instead of working it right away, slide the closest bead onto the bracelet. Then, make a slip stitch so the bead stays in place.[20]

    • It might help to put your pointer finger on the bead while you're slip stitching so it doesn't wiggle around.
  7. Add beads with the slip stitch for the next 29 stitches. Repeat this for the next 29 stitches to add all of the beads to your bracelet. Then, slip stitch the last 4 stitches of your bracelet without adding beads. This makes the smooth end that you'll tie to the other end of the bracelet.[21]

  8. Slip stitch into every stitch back across the bracelet. Finish crocheting the other side of the bracelet so the beads are centered. To do this, just make a slip stitch into each stitch along the beaded bracelet until you reach the other end.[22]

  9. Leave a tail and pull it through the last stitch. Cut the yarn to leave a long tail and use your hook to pull it through the end. Tug tightly on the yarn to secure the bracelet.[23]

  10. Cut tails for each end and braid them. To make decorative ends for the bracelet, cut 3 pieces of embroidery thread so they're long and pull them through the last stitch. Tie them to the bracelet and braid them together. Repeat this for the other end to finish your bracelet.[24]

    Crochet a Bracelet Step 25 Version 2.jpg
    • You can adjust the length of the braided ends before you use them to tie the bracelet to your wrist.

[Edit]Tips

  • Change the size of your yarn or thread to make a thicker or thinner bracelet.
  • If you'd like to fasten the bracelet with a button, crochet several strands and gather them together or use thick yarn to make a wide bracelet. Then, sew a button onto 1 end and wrap the other end into a loop that's wide enough for the button to pass through.[25]

How to Find the End Portal in Minecraft

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST

Advanced players can enter Minecraft's final zone to challenge the ender dragon and explore treasure-filled cities in the sky. Before you can do this, however, you'll need to find a rare End Portal using Eyes of Ender. Make sure you're well equipped before you set out on this long and difficult quest.

Bedrock Edition players: The End is only available in version 1.0 or later (released December 2016) and not in the "Old" world type.

Creative Mode players: If you can't get the portal to activate, build a new one around you while standing in the center. This guarantees that the blocks are facing the right direction.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Making Eyes of Ender

  1. Enter the Nether. Finding and activating an End Portal requires ingredients you can only find in the Nether, Minecraft's underworld. Make a Nether portal and travel through it to get started.[1]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 1 Version 5.jpg
    • To make a Nether Portal, place obsidian blocks in a rectangle 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks high, skipping the interior of the rectangle. If you are low on obsidian, you can skip the corners. Activate the lower obsidian blocks with a flint and steel.
    • The Nether is a dangerous area. Prepare yourself with high quality food and enchanted diamond equipment. You may also want a shield, a bow and arrow, and wood to craft with.
  2. Kill blazes to collect blaze rods. Blazes are yellow, floating monsters surrounded by smoke. They are only found in Nether fortresses — structures supported by pillars over a lava ocean. Defeat blazes and collect the blaze rods they drop. You'll usually need at least 5 blaze rods to find and activate the end portal, and it often takes 7 or more.[2]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 2 Version 5.jpg
    • It's much easier to find Nether fortresses if you travel along the x-axis (east or west).
    • Killing blazes is difficult, and the rods only drop if you kill them directly or with a tamed wolf. It helps to have an enchanted bow, or plenty of snowballs (it takes seven to kill 1 blaze).
  3. Kill endermen to collect ender pearls. Endermen are the black, tentacled mobs that only attack when you look at them. If you don't have plenty of ender pearls yet, kill Endermen until you do. You'll need two ender pearls for each blaze rod.[3]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 3 Version 5.jpg
    • This task is made less tedious if you have the Looting enchantment on a diamond sword as it will increase your chances of getting Ender Pearls.
    • Endermen are found in the Overworld in groups of 1-4. They do spawn in the Nether, but at a very rare chance, in groups of 4. They spawn in light levels of 7 or less.
    • Be careful when killing the Enderman, because they're powerful enough to kill you.
  4. Craft eyes of ender. Eyes of ender have the ability to locate end portals, and to activate them. You'll usually need at least 9 eyes of ender for this, often more. Craft them using these recipes:[4]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 4 Version 5.jpg
    • Place a blaze rod in the crafting area to turn it into 2 blaze powders.
    • Place a blaze powder and an ender pearl anywhere in the crafting area to make an eye of ender.

[Edit]Finding an End Portal

  1. Use an eye of ender. Equip the eye of ender and press "use" while you're holding it. It will float up into the air, then travel a short distance horizontally in the direction of the nearest stronghold. (All end portals are found inside strongholds.)[5]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 5 Version 5.jpg
    • In the Computer version of Minecraft, the closest strongholds are at least 1408 blocks away from the world's origin point.[6] Get to at least this distance before using any eyes of ender.
    • The eye of ender will leave a faint purple trail behind as it moves, so you can follow it even if you lose sight of it.
    • The eye of ender will only work in the Overworld, not the Nether.
  2. Collect the eye of ender. Each eye of ender has a 20% chance of breaking each time you use it. The other 80% of the time, you can pick it up from where it fell.[7]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 6 Version 5.jpg
    • This is why it's important to have a couple at a time.
  3. Walk in the direction of the eye. Strongholds are very far apart in the Computer and Bedrock editions, and there is only one in the entire world in Console edition. To avoid wasting eyes of ender, walk at least 500 blocks before using an eye again.[8]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 7 Version 5.jpg
    • Try to walk in the straightest line possible. If you keep your cursor on the eye as it floats, the direction you're pointed in should be perfect. Check your coordinates and keep the Facing as steady as you can.
  4. Keep throwing eyes until one travels downward. If the eye travels down to the ground, you are close to an underground stronghold. If the eye floats back the way you came, you passed the stronghold already.[9]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 8 Version 5.jpg
  5. Dig out the stronghold. Dig a staircase down until you find a room in the stronghold. The eye of ender just points to the stronghold, not the end portal. You might not see what you're looking for yet, but you're close.[10]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 9 Version 4.jpg
    • This does not apply to all versions of Minecraft.
  6. Find the portal room. Every stronghold has one portal room, with a staircase leading to a platform over a pool of lava. Be aware that there is a silverfish spawner on the staircase. The end portal is on top of the platform, with a border of green squares. Be prepared to fight silverfish on the stairway.[11]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 10 Version 5.jpg
    • Strongholds can have many rooms, and they are not necessarily all connected. If you only find dead ends, dig around the surrounding area to find more rooms. It can take a long time to find the portal room.
    • There's a small chance that another structure (such as a mineshaft) breaks into the portal room. If it interrupts the portal, that portal is not usable. On a PC, you can find another stronghold. On a Console, there is only one stronghold per world, so you can't reach the End without cheats.
  7. Activate the end portal. Unless you're very lucky, the portal won't be active when you first find it. To activate it, put an eye of ender into each of the 12 green squares (ender portal frames) around the portal. The portal usually spawns with a couple eyes of ender already attached, so you usually don't need to make all 12 yourself.[12]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 11 Version 5.jpg
    • There's about a 10% chance that a square will have an eye of ender in it already, so usually there will be one or two you don't have to worry about.
  8. Jump into the portal. When you place the last eye of ender in the portal, a starry black portal will appear. Jump into this when you're ready to enter the End and fight the Ender Dragon.[13]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 12 Version 5.jpg
    • Be warned: this is a one-way trip (for now). You can't come back from the portal unless you slay the mighty dragon or die trying.

[Edit]Using Two Eye Throws (Java Edition Only)

  1. Open your coordinates. Press on the computer, or equip and use a map on the console. Locate the x, z, and Facing values on the number overlay.[14]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 13 Version 5.jpg
    • On some Mac computers, you'll need to press +, or ++.
  2. Throw an eye of ender. Move your cursor to the point where the eye hovers. Write down the x, z, and Facing values on your screen. The x- and z-coordinates describe your position on the map, and Facing tells you the direction you are looking. You only need the first number listed after Facing, not the second.[15]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 14 Version 5.jpg
  3. Repeat this at another location. Travel 200 to 300 blocks away from your last position. Do not walk in the direction the eye traveled, or directly opposite it. Use an eye of ender again, move your cursor over the point where it hovers, and write down a new set of x, z, and Facing values.[16]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 15 Version 5.jpg
  4. Enter these values into an online tool. The information you wrote down describes 2 lines on your Minecraft map, each pointing to the stronghold. Finding the intersection of the lines takes some trigonometry, but there are several online tools that will do the math for you. Try this one, or search online for "minecraft stronghold locator." The tool should give you the x and z coordinates of the nearest stronghold.[17]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 16 Version 5.jpg
    • Since the Computer edition has many strongholds, there's a small chance that the two eyes were pointing to different ones. This is unlikely as long as the two points were less than a few hundred blocks away from each other.
  5. Calculate it yourself. If you can't find an online tool, you can calculate the coordinates using these formulas:[18]
    Find the End Portal in Minecraft Step 17 Version 5.jpg
    • Label one group of coordinates X0, Z0, and F0 and the other group X1, Z1, and F1.
    • If F0 > -90, add 90 to get DEG0. If F0 < -90, add 450 instead. Repeat with F1 to get DEG1. This sets the f-values to between 0 and 360 degrees.
    • Use a calculator to find and . Set the calculator to degrees, not radians.
    • The x-coordinate of the stronghold is .
    • The z-coordinate of the stronghold is .

[Edit]Finding a Stronghold Using Your World Seed

  1. Get your world seed. Each Minecraft world has a string of letters and numbers called a "seed." This determines the whole terrain layout, including the stronghold locations. Locate and copy (or write down) this string:[19]

    • Java edition: Type . If commands are not enabled, turn them on first using → → → .
    • Console edition: Go to the select world menu and look for the seed next to your world. (If it isn't listed there, you may need to download a seed finding tool.)
    • Bedrock edition: Go to the main menu. Hit , then . The seed appears underneath each world name.[20]
  2. Create a Creative world with the same seed. Create a new world set to Creative mode. On the world creation screen, enter the seed exactly as it appears. (Click first in the Computer edition.)[21]

    • Select the same world type as your main world.
  3. Locate a stronghold. Since you're in Creative mode, you can put unlimited eyes of ender in your inventory. Use them and fly in the direction they're moving until you reach a stronghold.[22]

  4. Write down the x-, y-, and z- coordinates of the stronghold. Since you used the same world seed, your Survival world should have a stronghold in exactly the same coordinates.[23]

    • On the computer, press to view your coordinates. On some Mac computers, press +, or ++ instead.
    • On a console, use a map item to find your coordinates.
    • On Pocket Edition, the easiest method is to use a third-party program.

[Edit]Leaving the End

  1. Fight and kill the ender dragon. Once you've gone through the end portal, the only way out is to kill the dragon first. You'll need to use your sword, bow and arrow, and plenty of armor to wear the dragon down bit by bit. It can take a lot of preparation and work, so you should only go through the portal once you're ready.[24]

    • The dragon is guarding the portal back to the Overworld, which is why you have to defeat it first.
  2. Go through the obsidian gateway. Once you've defeated the dragon, you can enter the gateway that it was protecting. This will bring you back home and return you to the normal game play area.[25]

    • You'll even get to watch Minecraft's "credits" since you reached the very end of the game.
  3. Return to the last place you rested if you die. The other way to get out of the end portal (besides killing the dragon) is to be defeated in combat and die. This will teleport you back to the last place you rested, but you will lose everything you were holding, so it's not a great option.[26]

    • This is why it's important to be prepared to fight the ender dragon once you travel through the portal. If you aren't prepared, you'll probably lose your items.

[Edit]Tips

  • Unlike the Nether portals, you won't have a chance to back out of the End portal, so make sure you're ready.
  • Bring plenty of cobblestone or other building blocks that Endermen can't move. If you spawn on a platform far away from the End island you'll need to build a path. If possible, you can use Ender Pearls to teleport to the main island.
  • Strongholds have 1/1000 chance of spawning under the well.
  • If you go to the End on peaceful, no Endermen will spawn.

[Edit]Warnings

  • Eyes of Ender might not lead you to the right location in Computer worlds created before October 2011, or Console worlds created before April 2013.
