You can't directly power an End portal. End portals are activated by placing an Eye of Ender in each of the portal's frame blocks.
Here's how to power an End portal:
- Obtain Eyes of Ender: You can find Eyes of Ender by defeating Endermen or by crafting them with Ender Pearls and Blaze Powder.
- Locate a Natural End Portal: Natural End portals are rare, but they can be found in strongholds. You can find strongholds by using an Eye of Ender, which will point you towards its location.
- Place Eyes of Ender: Once you find a natural End portal, you need to place an Eye of Ender in each of the 12 frame blocks.
- Activate the Portal: When all 12 frame blocks have an Eye of Ender, the portal will activate and you can step through it to enter the End.
Important Note: You can only travel to the End once per world.
