Find every End Gateway on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.51, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: End Gateways are small bedrock portals in the End that fling you across the void to the outer islands — the route to End Cities and the Elytra. On the outer islands, half of worlds have one within 1,150 blocks of the centre of the End on Java and 1,150 on Bedrock. This finder marks gateway positions at a measured 96% accuracy on Java and 95% on Bedrock.
End Gateways generate in the End. Each time the Ender Dragon is defeated, one more appears in a ring around the central island, up to twenty in all, and others generate on their own across the outer End islands. Each is a small bedrock frame around a single portal block topped by a magenta beam.
The finder marks the gateways that generate on their own across the outer islands. Measured from the centre of the End, half of 200 random worlds had one within 1,150 blocks on Java and 9 in 10 had one within 1,350; on Bedrock the same figures are 1,150 and 1,350. The ring around the central island is not on the map, because it only appears as you defeat the dragon. Open a marker for coordinates, then throw an Ender Pearl into the portal block to travel.
| How close | Java 26.3 | Bedrock 1.26.51 |
|---|---|---|
| Half of worlds have one within | 1,150 blocks | 1,150 blocks |
| 9 worlds in 10 have one within | 1,350 blocks | 1,350 blocks |
| Worlds with one within 1,000 blocks | None of the 200 tested | None of the 200 tested |
Measured with this finder on 200 random worlds in each edition, from 0, 0 in the End. Distances are rounded.
They are the practical route to the outer End islands, where End Cities — and the End Ships that carry the Elytra and Shulkers — generate. A gateway teleports you out, and a matching gateway brings you back to the central island.
On Java (Minecraft 26.3) gateway markers publish a measured 96% accuracy — a marked gateway is the exact block, not a nearby guess. On Bedrock (1.26.51) markers publish a measured 95% accuracy.
