What is End Rod in Minecraft?
An End rod is a special light source that looks like a thin, white rod that emits bright, white light and small white particles. It is one of the brightest and most stylish light sources in the game. The main purpose of an End rod is for decoration and lighting. Unlike torches, End rods can be placed on any surface, including floors, walls, and ceilings, making them incredibly versatile. Players love using End rods to create modern or futuristic lighting fixtures, magical glowing staffs, or just as a clean and elegant way to light up their base. They provide a bright, clean light without the smoky particles of a torch.
How to get End Rod in Minecraft
There are two ways to get an End rod. The first way is to find them. End rods generate naturally in huge numbers inside End cities, which are the tall, purple structures found on the outer islands of the End. They are used as the primary light source in these cities, often appearing as chandeliers or street lamps. You can simply break them with any pickaxe to collect them. The second way is to craft them. The crafting recipe is quite simple, but it requires a material from the End. You will need one blaze rod and one popped chorus fruit. You can get a blaze rod from Blazes in the Nether. To get a popped chorus fruit, you need to smelt a regular chorus fruit, which you get from breaking chorus plants in the End. Place the popped chorus fruit above the blaze rod in a crafting grid to get four End rods.
How to use End Rod in Minecraft
The main use for an End rod is for lighting and decoration. You can place it on any side of a block, which makes it much more versatile than a torch. You can have them sticking out from a wall, standing up on the floor, or hanging down from the ceiling. They give off a bright light level of 14, which is the same as a torch, so they are very effective at preventing mobs from spawning. Their sleek, white appearance makes them perfect for modern, sci fi, or magical builds. You can use them to create fluorescent light fixtures, laser beams, or the glowing core of a magical crystal. The small white particles they emit also add a nice, subtle animated effect to your builds.
