    Make sure that you build it all while standing on the inside of the portal or it won't work. Next, grab the end portal box which is in the miscellaneous category. Build a 4x4 box and eliminate the corners. While standing inside, place eye of ender on each box. You are now finished. If you are in survival mode, you cannot enter back into the real world until you have defeated the ender dragon completely. Your portal is being guarded by the ender dragon.
