Most items and blocks function in the End exactly as they do in the Overworld, with a few notable exceptions: Weather cycle does not exist in the End, meaning there is no rain, snowfall or thunderstorms. The daylight cycle is absent in the End, similar to the Nether, being replaced by a constant dim light. The starless sky and the void of the End are both composed of a blank, static pattern. There is a gap between the central island and the outer islands of about 1000 blocks with nothing but the void. The End consists of one large island surrounded at a distance by many smaller islands, all mainly composed of end stone.

If cheats are enabled, players can also teleport to the End without using an end portal: the command / execute in the_end allows the player to select their teleportation destination in the End directly. Upon jumping into the portal, the player immediately arrives in the End (x: 100, z: 0), along with any prior entities that may have teleported. As soon as it is activated, the portal destroys all blocks in the central 3×3 square, including bedrock or another portal frame, and replaces them with the end portal blocks that can teleport an entity into the End dimension. Once all the eyes of ender are placed, the portal activates and emits a loud noise. Each frame block has a 10% chance of generating with an eye in it already, meaning the player may not necessarily use 12 eyes to activate it. The player can activate the portal by filling the 12 end portal frames each with an eye of ender. A silverfish spawner sits on top of the staircase. The portal hangs over a lava pool, with a staircase leading up to it. The room consists of a 5×5 square of end portal frames, with the corners cut out, making a total of 12.

To access the End, the player must go through the process of finding a stronghold using eyes of ender, finding the portal room, and activating the end portal in the end portal room. An activated end portal found in a stronghold.
