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.
• A portal block is invisible when viewed from underneath.
• 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.

Piston interactivity

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

End portal "item"

Main article: Direct item forms of blocks

Java Edition
1.0.0		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3-1			End 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.
					Like with the nether portal item, it has a rather strange model. Initially it appears as a cube using the untinted grass block top texture, but observing a placed end portal block will cause this cube to change to a thin slice characteristic of the end portal block hitbox:
					As end portal blocks had no assigned name, mousing over the block in the inventory would cause an instant game crash.
					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 3-2			The player no longer starts out with this item on world generation or when respawning.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4			End portals now appear as a flat, untinted grass block top texture as an item.
					Mousing over end portal items no longer causes a game crash. The name is instead displayed as an empty text box with minimum length.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5			The grass block top texture has changed, changing the end portal item's appearance as well as a result.
?					When attempted to be placed in the Nether or End, placement will fail but the placement sound will still play. Whether this consumes the item in survival is unknown.
1.2.5		pre			End portal items can now be obtained via pick block in Creative.[verify]
1.3.1		12w16a			End portal items can now be obtained in singleplayer worlds via the /give command using the respective numeric ID.
		?			End portal items can no longer be obtained via pick block in Creative.
?					When obtained through commands, their name will be null.name in chat.
?					The name for the end portal item has been changed to tile.null.name.
1.5		13w02a			End portals now use the nether portal texture as an item due to texture storage reforms.
1.8		14w05a			The end portal block's inventory texture is now missing.
		14w25a			The 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.
Bedrock Edition
?					The end portal item is called tile.end_portal.name.
?					The end portal item has this texture.
