Credit Sequence

The "End Poem" is a text-based message that appears when the player uses the exit portal.

Obtaining
When the ender dragon dies, the exit portal is activated, allowing the player to return safely to the Overworld. The poem is shown the first time the player enters the exit portal (based on their tag being 0, after which it is changed to 1) or every time the player enters the exit portal.

The End Poem can be skipped by pressing in Java Edition or tapping "Skip" in Bedrock Edition.

When the End Poem ends, or the player skips the poem, the player will respawn at their spawn point.

Contents
The poem itself takes the form of a dialogue between two unidentified speakers who are discussing the player's accomplishments, and lasts 9 minutes 28 seconds. After the poem is finished, the credits play. During the poem and the credits the track  plays.
