The End

The End is one of the two possible dimensions that a player can travel to in the world of Minecraft (duh). It is a vast void where the infamous ender dragon resides, where 90% of the endermen population resides, where islands of end stone are as far as the eye can see, and where end cities are. (ok seriously if you don't know this, then you're clearly worse than a newfag and should stop embarrassing yourself).

Pertaining to 2b2t
The End has always been a problematic issue on 2b2t, mainly for Hause. This is because the end has had several issues with its portals on 2b2t. First of all, when the world was updated to 1.0, only three end portals were available in the entire world. Eventually, players found them and during the really old days, end portals had a variety of normal ways to be destroyed, such as simply using TNT.

As with anything with a structure, portals and strongholds have been destroyed by players, however portals have been artificially created by players themselves using hacks. These issues have caused Hause to constantly remove and re-enable the end multiple times. Hause has even destroyed portals himself in order for players not to reach the end when it was removed.

The End has been mostly barren for several years, leading to a very small population ever reaching the end and even living in it. Most people really didn't care much about the End due to the dangers it posed and the lack of portals to reach it. The main area where the ender dragon resides, however, has been lavacasted and destroyed multiple times, with damages growing constantly. However, the central area of the End has mainly retained its former structure, with the end stone landscape still being largely visible and many of the obsidian pillars still being intact.

With the 1.9 update, the end was largely expanded, and this prompted a rush of exploration into the distant unloaded regions of the end in order to obtain Elytras and Chorus Fruits. Several skybases were abandoned and/or griefed because of this, including Space Valkyria and Fit's skybase. When Shulker Boxes were added in 1.11, another rush of exploration occurred so everyone could get Shulker Shells.
