Quick answer
- A new gateway appears around the main island each time you kill the Ender Dragon.
- Throw an Ender pearl into the gateway to go through.
- It sends you to the outer islands, about 1,000 blocks away, where end cities are.
Beating the dragon is only half of the End. Gateways take you to the outer islands, home of elytra and shulker boxes.

- They float in a ring around the main island.
Going through
- Build up to the gateway. It's a small black portal in bedrock.
- Throw an ender pearl into the middle.
- You come out on the outer islands, next to a gateway back.
Bring blocksYou may land on a tiny island. Bring blocks to bridge and plenty of food.
What's out there
End cities, end ships with elytra, shulkers and chorus plants. Mark the gateway with a pillar so you can find your way home.
