Breakable End Portals
End Portals and End Gateways have always been the untouchable furniture of Minecraft's End dimension. You can light them, travel through them, and build elaborate frames around them, but you can never actually break them. The Breakable End Portals add-on flips that rule on its head by handing you a brand-new tool designed specifically to shatter these supposedly indestructible blocks. If you have ever stared at a leftover End Gateway after raiding an End City and wished you could just remove it, this add-on was made for you.
What Does the Breakable End Portals Add-On Do?
At its core, this add-on introduces a single, game-changing item: the Ender Pickaxe. Unlike a standard Netherite Pickaxe, this tool is capable of mining End Portals and End Gateways, two block types that vanilla Minecraft normally treats as unbreakable. That means you can finally clear out unwanted portals, reshape your End base, or collect these mysterious blocks for decoration and redstone contraptions.
The add-on keeps things balanced rather than handing you a cheat tool. The Ender Pickaxe matches the stats of a Netherite Pickaxe and even adds 500 extra durability on top, so it performs like a genuine late-game upgrade instead of a fragile gimmick. You still need to earn it, and you still need to survive the End to use it well.
Key Features at a Glance
- Break End Portals and End Gateways that are normally indestructible
- Craft a custom Ender Pickaxe using End materials and a Netherite Pickaxe
- Enjoy Netherite-tier mining stats with 500 bonus durability
- Perfect for cleaning up End Gateways after exploring End Cities
- Simple, lightweight design that fits naturally into survival gameplay
Crafting the Ender Pickaxe
The recipe is intentionally demanding, which keeps the add-on fair in survival worlds. You combine a standard Netherite Pickaxe with materials gathered from the End, so you will need to defeat the Ender Dragon and explore the outer islands before you can craft it. Once assembled, the Ender Pickaxe becomes your key to dismantling the very structures that once blocked your path.
Because the pickaxe retains Netherite-level efficiency and enchantability, you can still apply Fortune, Efficiency, and Unbreaking to it. That makes it a practical everyday tool as well as a portal-breaking specialist, and it pairs nicely with a full Netherite kit.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Breakable End Portals is distributed as a Bedrock Edition add-on, which means it works on Minecraft Bedrock across modern versions, including the 1.20 and 1.21 update cycles. Whether you play on Windows, mobile, or console, the add-on installs through the standard behavior and resource pack system. If you are running an older Bedrock build, check the pack's version notes before installing, since block behavior can shift between updates.
For players who want a frictionless setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles Breakable End Portals with true one-click installation, dropping the pack straight into the correct folder so you can jump into the End without touching a single file manually.
How to Install Breakable End Portals for Minecraft
Getting started is straightforward, even if you have never added a pack before. Follow these steps to download Breakable End Portals and get it running in minutes.
- Download the .mcaddon or .mcpack file for Breakable End Portals from a trusted source.
- Open the file and let Minecraft import it automatically, or move it into your behavior and resource pack folders.
- Create or edit a world, then enable the pack under both Behavior Packs and Resource Packs.
- Activate the experiment or add-on toggle if your version prompts you to.
- Load into the End, gather your materials, and craft the Ender Pickaxe.
Once the pack is active, you can test it immediately by mining any End Portal frame block you find. If the block breaks and drops, everything is working correctly.
Tips for Using the Ender Pickaxe
Breaking an End Portal frame does not deactivate the portal itself in most setups, so plan your builds carefully before you start swinging. Bring spare blocks if you intend to relocate a gateway, and remember that End Gateways can be useful travel hubs, so only destroy the ones you truly do not need. Enchanting your pickaxe with Unbreaking and Mending will keep it alive through long building sessions.
Final Thoughts
Breakable End Portals solves a small but genuinely annoying limitation that has frustrated builders for years. By adding a balanced, craftable Ender Pickaxe, it gives you real control over the End dimension without turning your world into a creative-mode free-for-all. If you want to download Breakable End Portals and finally reclaim those unbreakable blocks, this add-on is a smart, lightweight addition to any Bedrock survival playthrough.
