"The End"

[x339]

As version 4 of the 1.9 pre-release has come out, a new world has been added called "The End". It is available to people who throw an enderman pearl up into the sky and then jump through a portal.

The End (previously known as The Ender) is a stark, empty plane containing a series of large floating islands of White Stone dotted with Obsidian Spikes. The White Stone blocks cannot be mined unless a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch is used. This dimension is populated mostly by the Endermen (also found wandering in the Overworld) and the Enderdragon (exclusive to the End). The starless sky and Void are both composed of a dark static pattern, but there are still particle effects within the Void area.
The day/night cycle is absent in the End, similar to the Nether, being replaced by a constant dim light. Most items and blocks (including Fluids) function in the End exactly like they do in the Overworld, with a few notable exceptions. Compasses will be unable to find the original spawn point, as always when entering any other dimension, and Clocks cannot determine the position of the sun (the arrows and dials will instead spin and flail randomly). Maps don't seem to map correctly, only mapping static, Beds will explode when used (lighting nearby white stone blocks on fire), and portals to the Nether will not work in the End without use of Mods.

Should be interesting to see where this goes, however I don't see why they added this considering they have done anything with the Nether yet.

Here is a video about "The End"

Wow looks interesting. If there's any videos you should add them to the original post.

I've just had a quick hunt around and only found one. Doesn't seem to be very popular or hardly anyone knows about it.

I find a few, to find them you have to search for "The Ender" because that was the original name.

Ah that's what I was doing wrong. Looking at the best video out of the lot, you can fall out of the world in this world.
