The spawn's End

The end of the pit road. Under the Nether, one last door leads to the End: a plaza of end stone and purpur, and a pit carved out of floating islands. This is where Orichalcum grows, and where whole cities sometimes wash up.

Open the door

• You need the spawn’s Nether first. Head down into its pit to the very last layer: the last block you break opens the End and sends you there.
• Access lasts a while, then closes. Go back to the bottom of the Nether pit to reopen it.
• Just like the Nether, closing never kicks you out: it only stops you from coming back.

Going back

• At the spawn, the Dimensions NPC, north of the plaza, keeps a window on the End: while your access runs, one click and you’re there.
• On the Nether plaza, the End Ferryman makes the same trip.
• On the End plaza, Back to the Nether and Back to spawn take you home whenever you like.

The End pit

• End stone, the undersides of floating islands, chorus plants: every regeneration pulls a fresh slice of the End.
• Now and then, an End City rises in the pit, chests included.
• More rarely, the End Ship docks there. It hides its treasure chests, and always a pair of elytra. First come, first served.
• What you break goes straight into your inventory, and falling into the void brings you back to the End plaza.

Orichalcum

When the pit regenerates, Orichalcum veins appear in its end stone. If you’re there, chat lets you know: “An orichalcum vein glows somewhere in the pit’s rock…”. Break one with a pickaxe and it gives you Orichalcum Shards, the metal of legends.

They’re used at the Blacksmith: gears for your factories and job armor.

Tip: when the End Ship is in the pit, its elytra go fast. Check the End right after a regeneration: that’s when everything is fresh, veins included.

Your island’s End

Your island also earns its own End, an islet of yours, unlocked as you climb the prestiges. Details on the island dimensions page.
