The End Portal block is a block generated when an End portal or exit portal is activated, which teleports the player between the Overworld and the End.
Obtaining
The End portal block cannot be obtained as an item even by using the /give command. The item form is completely nonexistent in Java Edition, but it can be obtained through add-ons, external editors or by using bugs in Bedrock Edition.
The End portal block can be placed using commands such as /fill or /setblock or simply by building End portals.
Usage
End portal blocks can be used to teleport into and out of the End. When a player or other entity in the Overworld or the End touches an End portal block, it is instantly taken to the other dimension. If a single portal block is placed using commands, it can still be used to travel between dimensions.
All entities traveling to the End appear on the obsidian platform, recreating it if necessary. Players traveling to the Overworld appear at their individual spawn point, while other entities appear at the world spawn point.
In Bedrock Edition, non-player entities travelling to the overworld will appear at Y-level -64 due to a bug.[1]
Properties
- Entities which touch the End portal are teleported to another dimension:
- If the block is in the Overworld, the Nether, or in a custom dimension, the entity is teleported to the obsidian platform in the End.
- If the block is in the End, they are teleported to their spawn point:
- Players with an unobstructed respawn location (set by using a bed or respawn anchor) are teleported to that location.
- Players whose respawn location is unset or obstructed are teleported to a small area centered on the world spawn point.
- All other entities (aside from the exceptions listed below) are teleported exactly to the world spawn point.
- In Java Edition, ridden entities and their passengers can use End portals (and Nether portals); in Bedrock Edition, they cannot.
- However, in Java Edition, if an entity ridden by a player who has not yet seen the credits enters an End portal in the End, the entity will not be teleported to the world spawn.
- Ender dragons cannot use End portals.
- Withers can use End portals only in Bedrock Edition.
- End portal blocks can be destroyed in Creative mode. This does not affect adjacent End portal blocks.
- End portals do not reset fall damage.[2]
- The top surface of an End portal is 3⁄4 the height of a full block.
- The End portal is one of the only blocks without a conventional texture or entity texture; it instead duplicates and layers a star-field pattern that follows the player's cursor.
- If TNT is detonated on an End portal, no blocks in its blast radius are destroyed.
- If the End portal block is generated in the block grid using the debug mode world type, it teleports the player to the Overworld regardless of which dimension it is in.
Piston interactivity
End portal blocks cannot be pushed by pistons. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by sticky pistons.
