Pocket End Link
Every Minecraft player knows the dread. You’ve found the stronghold, but the End portal room is miles away through a maze of corridors. You light the frame, jump through, and then the real slog begins: bridging over the void for shulker shells, or risking a dragon fight just for an elytra. What if you could skip all of that? That’s exactly what Pocket End Link offers—a clever, quality-of-life add-on that puts the End’s best loot within reach of your crafting table.
What Does Pocket End Link Do?
Simply put, this add-on introduces a craftable pocket-sized end portal. Instead of hunting for a stronghold and lighting the traditional frame with 12 eyes of ender, you only need 8 eyes to activate your personal portal. But the real magic happens after that. Once your pocket portal is lit, you can combine it with various items in a crafting grid to transform them into their End equivalents. Want shulker shells without raiding an End city? Done. Need an elytra without ever facing the dragon? Also done.
The recipes are straightforward. You place your lit pocket portal in the center of the crafting table and surround it with the item you want to convert. For example, combining the portal with a regular flower will yield a chorus flower, and other combinations produce the End-specific materials you’d normally risk your life for. The add-on even supports any flower type for that particular recipe, giving you flexibility.
Key Features at a Glance
- Craft a portable End portal using only 8 eyes of ender.
- Transform common items into End loot via simple crafting recipes.
- Perfect for skyblock, superflat, or any world where reaching the End is a pain.
- No credit required if you want to include it in your own modpack.
Why You’ll Want This Add-On
The biggest time sink in vanilla Minecraft is often the journey to the End, not the fight itself. Finding a stronghold involves throwing eyes of ender, digging through stone, and navigating a sprawling structure. Pocket End Link removes that entire step. You can set up a small base, craft your portal, and be swimming in elytra and shulker boxes within an hour of starting a new world. It’s a game-changer for players who prefer building and exploring over boss battles.
This add-on was originally created for the Catalyst - Parasites modpack, but it works beautifully in any pack or vanilla-style playthrough. The inspiration comes from the popular Pocket Nether Link by kandivia, so if you enjoyed that mod’s approach to the Nether, you’ll feel right at home here.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Pocket End Link is built for modern Minecraft versions, specifically targeting the Fabric loader. It works seamlessly with recent releases, so you can enjoy the convenience without worrying about compatibility issues. Whether you’re playing the latest snapshot or a stable release, the add-on is designed to integrate cleanly with your existing mod setup. If you’re using a modpack, simply drop the file into your mods folder, and you’re good to go.
How to Install Pocket End Link
Getting started is easy. First, make sure you have the Fabric loader installed for your version of Minecraft. Then, head to the official download page for the add-on and grab the latest jar file. Once downloaded, navigate to your .minecraft folder, open the mods directory, and drag the file in. Restart the game, and you’ll see the new recipes available in your crafting book.
For players who prefer a more streamlined approach, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Pocket End Link, automatically handling version compatibility and dependencies.

Step-by-Step Installation
- Install the Fabric loader for your Minecraft version.
- Download the Pocket End Link jar file from the official source.
- Place the jar in your
modsfolder. - Launch the game and verify the recipes appear.
If you run into any issues, double-check that your Fabric API is up to date, as many mods rely on it for core functions. Also, ensure you haven’t accidentally downloaded a version for a different Minecraft release.
Recipes and Usage Tips
Once installed, you’ll find the recipes under the “Pocket End Link” tab in your crafting guide. The primary recipe requires the pocket portal itself, which you craft with 8 eyes of ender and a few other common materials. After that, each transformation recipe uses the portal plus one base item. For instance, placing a white flower in the grid alongside the portal yields a chorus flower. Experiment with different items to discover all the possible conversions.
One handy tip: keep a spare pocket portal in your inventory at all times. Since the portal isn’t consumed when you use it in crafting, you can reuse it indefinitely. That means you only need to craft it once, and you’ll have unlimited access to End materials for the rest of your playthrough.
Final Thoughts
Pocket End Link is a brilliant little add-on that respects your time. It doesn’t remove the challenge of the End entirely—you still need eyes of ender and the right base items—but it eliminates the tedious travel and dangerous exploration that often gatekeeps the best gear. Whether you’re a builder who hates combat or a speedrunner looking to optimize your route, this mod deserves a spot in your loadout.
So why wait? Download Pocket End Link for Minecraft today, craft your pocket portal, and say goodbye to the void-bridging nightmare forever. Your shulker boxes and elytra are just a crafting table away.
