End Portal (block)

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[]

In Java Edition, the end portal block cannot be obtained as an item. It can be placed only by using block placement commands such as /setblock, or simply by building End portals. In Bedrock Edition, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing, add-ons or by using bugs.

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.

Properties[]

• End Portal blocks can be destroyed in Creative Mode. This does not affect adjacent End Portal blocks.
• End portals do not reduce fall damage.‌^{[Java Edition only]}
• The top surface of an End portal is ³⁄₄ the height of a full block.^[verify]
• The End portal is one of the only blocks without a conventional texture or entity texture; it instead duplicates and layers a starfield pattern.
• If TNT is detonated on an end portal, no blocks in its blast radius are destroyed.
• Ridden entities (and their riders) pass through the portal without being teleported.
• The ender dragon cannot teleport through portals.
• In Java Edition, the wither cannot teleport through portals, but can do so in Bedrock Edition.
• If /setblock is used to place an End Portal block in the Overworld, Nether, or in a custom dimension, then the End Portal block teleports the player to the End dimension. If the End Portal block is placed in the End, then the End Portal block teleports the player to their spawn point.
• Items can fall through an end portal, including falling blocks, such as TNT. The items appear in the End dimension.

End portal blocks cannot be pushed by pistons. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by sticky pistons.

History[]

This section would benefit from the addition of isometric renders. 

Please remove this notice once you've added suitable isometric renders to the article.
The specific instructions are: Add textures to Pocket and console histories.

End portal "item"[]

The following content is transcluded from Technical blocks/End Portal.

Appearances[]

Java Edition
1.0.0		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3			End portal items have an unstable item model which changes depending on blocks which are targeted or in loaded chunks. It uses this model in inventories, when held in first or third person view or as a dropped item.
					The end portal item initially uses a full cube model, like full cube blocks do.
					If a placed end portal block is targeted,[more information needed] the item model will change to a flat plane, matching the shape of the wireframe outline box that can be seen near the bottom of an end portal block when targeted.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4			The end portal item now uses this texture in inventories, when held in first or third person view or as a dropped item.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5			The end portal item now uses this texture in inventories, when held in first or third person view or as a dropped item.
					This is due to the grass top texture changing in this version.
1.4.2		12w34a			The end portal item now uses the aforementioned texture when in an item frame.
1.5		13w02a			The end portal item now uses this texture in inventories, when held in first or third person view, as a dropped item or when in an item frame.
					This is due to major texture storage changes in this version.
1.7.2		13w42a			End portal items now appear translucent in the inventory. As a dropped item, in a player's hand, or in an item frame, they still appear opaque.
					This is due to changes in item rendering in this version, likely to allow for stained glass to appear translucent as an item.
					NOTE: the end portal item was still animated in this version. However, the provided image appears stationary due to technical limitations.
1.8		14w05a			The end portal item now uses this texture in inventories, when held in first or third person view, as a dropped item or when in an item frame.
					This is likely due to model changes in this version, and end portal items not having an item model defined.
Bedrock Edition
?					The end portal item uses this texture.[4]
