Eutectic ceramics with exceptional hardness, elevated Young’s modulus, and impressive fracture toughness have become indispensable materials for various demanding industrial applications in extreme environments. In this work, in-situ synthesis of high-entropy Al2O3/(Y0.2Eu0.2Er0.2Yb0.2Lu0.2)3Al5O12/ZrO2 ceramics was successfully achieved with one-step slurry-based laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The phase formation, microstructure morphologies, phase distribution, crystallographic characteristics, and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. The typical microstructure of a shell–core architecture resembling cell-like features consists of both crystalline and amorphous phases. The selective aggregation of constituents is the combined outcome of solute exclusion and convective transport mechanisms. The crystallographic orientation relationships inside the shell may include
