I was just thinking, what if we could craft end portal frames? Now before you poo-poo this as game ruining, You would need to go to the end to be able to craft them, since it would take endstone, and obsidian. I was thinking the crafting recipe would be 8 endtone (chest pattern) with obsidian in the middle. You would still need to place an eye of ender inside. This would be very useful for vanilla survival servers, with things in the end like enderman xp farms. They could then "legitly" put an end portal in a community center or town hall for the convienience of players who want to go to the end, after the ender dragon is defeated (a player would have to be in order to obtain endstone.) This came into my mind while playing on one of my favorite servers. It's completely vanilla survival, with a strict whitelist. A player already beat the ender dragon, and some others built a super-efficient enderman xp farm there. Players frequently go there, but complain about having to go to the nether, ride a rail for about 3 minutes, and exit a portal where they are in a strong hold. Players say they want a end portal in the community center, but moderators say (since its vanilla) they would have to have a way to obtain the frame legitly, instead of creativing it. This is merely a suggestion for convienience, feel free to tell me what you think about it and give me your opinions. Thanks!
I think this idea would probably need to wait until we had a better reason to return to the End other than for End Stone.
My reasons in my world are:
1- Awesome ender ender.
2- Rarest block in the game besides the D-Egg is there.
3- It's a dimension full of nothing but that endstone island and air. Build whatever you want with no limitations.
This would almost defeat the purpose of finding and exploring strongholds. The primary purpose of a stronghold is to house the End Portal, which is meant to be nowhere else.
I like this idea, but on one condition. To encourage players to have to actually defeat the dragon, the Ender Chest should require an Ender Portal block as the bottom-middle block.

WHAT?!
Danger zone.
Here you go.
