The End platform is a 5×1×5 square of obsidian that generates when an entity enters the End through an End portal block.

Generation

The End platform always generates at coordinates (100, 48, 0), mostly far away from the island, which may make it difficult to get there. Players who enter the End spawn at coordinates (100, 49, 0), facing west toward the main island; other entities that enter the End spawn at coordinates (100.5, 50, 0.5), in the middle of and 1 block higher than the platform. Whenever a new entity enters the End, the platform is regenerated, and all blocks within 3 blocks above the platform are destroyed and dropped as items.‌^{[Java Edition only]} Sometimes the platform generates inside a case of End stone; enough End stone is broken in this case so that the player can walk around, with 3 blocks high of breathing space. Occasionally the platform may generate in midair, forcing the player to bridge or throw an ender pearl toward the main island.

In Java Edition, The End platform generates as part of the world generation, but in Bedrock Edition, it generates only when an entity uses an End portal block, not when teleporting with /execute in minecraft:the_end. End gateways on the outer End islands also teleport entities to the platform, but do not cause the platform to regenerate.

In Bedrock Edition, the End platform is regenerated at the position where a player enters a Nether portal in the End.

1.16	20w21a	Non-player entities now regenerate the obsidian platform when entering an End portal again.
1.16.2	20w28a	The player now spawns centered on the End platform. Previously the player spawned at X=100.0, Y=49, Z=0.0 instead of X=100.5, Y=49, Z=0.5.
1.20.5	24w03a	When entities arrive in the End, the area around the End platform remains loaded for 15 seconds, matching the behavior of Nether portals.
