Block ID conflict
Isn't Grass path listed as block 198? -AATC –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.138.38.82 (talk) at 22:43, 29 July 2015‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Sand/gravel
The page says that sand and gravel will not turn into items when they land on end rods, but that is only partially true. If you place an end rod sideways it is no longer treated as a full block by the fallingsand entities.


 * Thanks! It's now corrected. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:58, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Info Conflict
The article says in the usage section that they can be used to climb End City towers, but it says in the version history that it was changed so you cannot step up on them. --Qwerty6811 (talk) 14:29, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it rather means you cannot step onto it without jumping. It still has its hitbox so you can stand on it right?JackAlpha26 (talk) 14:42, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

How end rod is not transparent?
I am not sure, however, in opacity "primary purpose of opacity is to tell the game engine if it needs to draw behind the block". In that sense, I think end rod shall be transparent block, because almost all the space is not occupied, and I can see behind of the block. Maybe am I missing something?

Water behavior
The end rod will drop when in contact with water in Java Edition but will flood in Bedrock Edition like what happens with stairs, slabs and chests.

Some info about how the water passthrough the block (in the data value section) would also be appreciated.

How is it renewable?
It's not listed on the List of renewable resources, and it only generates in end cities, which are finite. Unless I'm missing something, it's non-renewable. – Unsigned comment added by Willuwontu (talk • contribs) at 15:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with


 * It is listed on that page, as a renewable product from blaze rods. In addition, it can be crafted from a blaze rod and popped chorus fruit; the latter is renewable because it is smelted from chorus fruit, which in turn is renewable because they come from chorus plants, which in turn grow from chorus flowers, in which the flowers are renewable.
