End Portal (block)

The End portal block is a block that generates when an End portal is formed. Standing in them will teleport the player from the Overworld to the End, and vice versa.

Obtaining
The End portal block cannot be obtained as an item. It can only be placed using the command, or by building End portals.

Usage
End portal blocks can be used to teleport into and out of the End. When a player in the Overworld or the End stands in an End portal block, the player is instantly taken to the other dimension. If there is already an active portal within range in the other world, the player will appear in that portal. Otherwise, a portal will be created at or near the corresponding coordinates. If a single portal block is placed using commands, it can still be used to travel to the End.

Properties

 * End Portal blocks can be destroyed in Creative Mode. This does not affect the effects of adjacent End Portal blocks.
 * If the Portal is viewed from underneath, it will be invisible, allowing you to see through the portal.
 * If a player throws an entity (including items) into an end portal, the entity will be sent to the End.
 * End portals don't reduce fall damage.
 * The End Portal is technically the only block without a conventional texture, or entity texture; it uses the same image as the background of The End, with an additional effect added on top.
 * If TNT is detonated on an end portal, no blocks in its blast radius will be destroyed.
 * Passing the end portal while riding a minecart will not teleport you to the end, instead you will simply pass through the portal, because the portal does not check for riding entities, but only the hitting entity itself.
 * Interestingly, the selection box for an end portal block appears on the bottom of the block, even though the actual location of the texture is at the top of the block.
