Players can continue playing and are even encouraged to do so. End Cities, which have elytras, shulkers, and other rare, exclusive items, can’t be visited until after the dragon is defeated and the game is “beaten.” There’s plenty to do after the end of the game.
When the title does end, and users leave the End and return to the overworld, the credits play. This is the truest sign of beating a game, which happens once crafters have finished exploring the End.
Alongside the credits, the end poem shows up on the screen. It’s an exclusive experience for gamers who get that far.
End poem in version 1.19: Complete guide to end of Minecraft
When players have defeated the Ender Dragon, which is no small accomplishment, the portal back to the overworld activates. This is the only way to return without dying and losing all items.
When the portal opens, it doesn’t have to be entered immediately. It will stay open until gamers respawn the Ender Dragon. If they do, they’ll have to defeat the dragon again to open it.
When users enter the portal, the end poem appears, followed by the game’s credits.
The end poem was written by a musician named Julian Gough. It’s a very long poem showcasing a conversation between two people outside Minecraft. Here is a short excerpt:
The end quote follows the end poem. According to the Minecraft Wiki, this is what the end quote has to say:
In-game, this quote is attributed to “unknown.” In reality, Mark Twain is given credit, though that attribution isn’t confirmed and is pretty controversial.
For Mojang’s purposes, it’s unclear who really said it, but it’s still impactful enough for it to be included at the end of Minecraft.
