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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

  • 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.
  • Ender dragons cannot teleport through portals.
  • In Java Edition, withers 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 it teleports the player to the End dimension. If the end portal block is placed in the End, then it teleports the player to their spawn point.
  • 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.
  • Items can fall through an end portal, including falling blocks, such as TNT. The items appear in the End dimension.

Piston interactivity[edit | edit source]

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

End portal "item"[edit | edit source]

The following content is transcluded from Technical blocks/End Portal.
Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3-1End portals have an unobtainable item form corresponding to its block ID, which has interesting model behavior. It can be obtained via inventory editors with numeric item ID 119.
In this version, players would immediately start out with this item upon generating a world or when respawning.
If an end portal item already existed in the hotbar, using pick block on an existing end portal block would switch the hotbar to select that block like with any other item.
It can be placed in the Nether.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3-2The player no longer starts out with this item on world generation or when respawning.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4When attempted to be placed in the Nether or End, placement fails, but the placement sound and hand animation still plays. Replaceable blocks such as fluids, grasses and vines are deleted, and the item is also consumed in survival mode.
1.2.5preEnd portal items can now be obtained via pick block in Creative.
1.3.112w16aEnd portal items can now be obtained in singleplayer worlds via the /give command using the respective numeric ID.
12w17aEnd portal items can no longer be obtained via pick block in Creative.
12w18aBug introduced: End portal blocks placed with the item in the Nether/End renders the block for a frame.
1.814w25aThe direct item form of end portals has been removed from the game. It can no longer exist as an item in any way, only as a placed block.
Pocket Edition
1.0.5End portal items can be obtained via the /give command. This is a result of MCPE-21365.
Bedrock Edition
?End portals exist as an item.
1.2.13beta 1.2.13.5It is possible to obtain end portals as an item simply by replacing them with water using a bucket.[2]
1.4.0beta 1.2.14.2End portals can no longer be obtained through replacement by water.
1.9.0?It is possible to obtain end portals as an item by using /setblock ~ ~ ~ air 0 destroy when standing above an activated end portal block.[3]
1.11.0?The above method no longer works.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3End portal items have an unstable item model that changes depending on blocks that 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 changes 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.
1.4.212w34aThe end portal item now uses the aforementioned texture when in an item frame.
1.513w02a 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.
1.7.213w42a 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.
NOTE: the end portal item was still animated in this version. However, the provided image appears stationary due to technical limitations.
1.814w05a 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.
Bedrock Edition
? The end portal item uses this texture.[4]
? The end portal item uses this texture.
