The end gateway is a block that appears as part of end gateways, which teleport the player between the main island and the other islands in the End.
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
The end gateway block cannot be obtained as an item and can be placed in Java Edition only by using block placement commands such as /setblock or /fill.
They generate naturally as part of end gateways.
In Bedrock Edition, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing. It cannot be placed by block placement commands in this edition, but it can be placed using structure blocks.
Usage[edit]
End gateway blocks in their original form can be used to teleport to the outer islands of the end. End gateway blocks can be used as a custom teleporter using NBT tags[Java Edition only].
ExitPortaltag holds a set of X/Y/Z coordinates to determine the general location the player can be "safely" teleported to when entering.- Setting
ExactTeleportto 1 teleports entities to the specified coordinates exactly instead of at a safer location around those coordinates. Agedetermines how long the gateway has existed. This is used to determine when the beam is rendered.- Example:
/setblock ~ ~-1 ~1 minecraft:end_gateway{Age:180,ExactTeleport:1,ExitPortal:{X:1,Y:2,Z:3}} replace
When created in a dimension other than the End without ExitPortal NBT data, it does not teleport entities but still activates its beam effect when an entity enters.
In Bedrock and Education editions, when the gateway is placed and entered in the End, it teleports the user to coordinates 0, 0, 0, below the main island. In the Overworld, it acts as a solid block and cannot be entered.
A piston cannot push an end gateway block.
Gateways have a small chance to teleport the player directly into the void at y=0.
Beam[edit]
When generated (either naturally as part of an end gateway, or through /setblock[Java Edition only] ), the block emits a
magenta beam of light vertically from its top and bottom, lasting for 200 game ticks (10 seconds) while fading in and out.
An end gateway block also emits a
purple beam of light vertically from the top and bottom when an entity enters it. During the 40 game ticks (2 seconds) this beam is visible, no additional entities can be teleported.
It also emits the
purple teleport beam every 2400 game ticks (2 minutes) without an entity being teleported.[1]
The creation beam extends from around Y=0 through the block up to Y=256; the teleport beam goes 50 blocks above and below the beam. The beam is visible from roughly the same distance as a single ordinary stack of blocks. If a render distance of 16 chunks is set, the beam of light is visible from up to 255 blocks away. Unlike the beam of a beacon, this beam does not change color if the player puts stained glass over it.

Block entity[edit]
An end gateway block has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.
- Block entity data
- Tags common to all block entities see Template:Nbt inherit/blockentity/template
- Age: Age of the portal, in ticks. This is used to determine when the beam is rendered.
- ExactTeleport: 1 or 0 (true/false) - Teleports entities directly to the ExitPortal coordinates instead of near them.
- ExitPortal: Location entities are teleported to when entering the portal.
- X: X coordinate of target location.
- Y: Y coordinate of target location.
- Z: Z coordinate of target location.

Trivia[edit]
- The end gateway is the only 'portal' block that is a full cube.
- The End Gateway starfield pattern is different from the End Portal Block, which does not add extra blue streak flying horizontally on the screen.
- In Bedrock Edition if one manages to place an end gateway at the center of the obsidian platform, it teleports the player before the platform regenerates. As a result, the platform appears in a different location than it should, like below the main island.
- In Bedrock Edition end gateways have no name. It shows "tile.end_gateway.name" because of a missing translation string.
