	Once defeated, the dragon goes to the [[Minecraft:exit portal]] at (0, 64, 0),{{only\|je}} ~~rises into the sky,~~ and slowly disintegrates, with bright beams of light flashing from its body. It then explodes, drops 12,000 (first dragon) or 500 (all subsequent dragons) [[Minecraft:experience]] orbs, activates the exit portal, and generates one [[Minecraft:End gateway]] (first 20 dragons only). This gives the [[Minecraft:player]] access to the End's outer islands. Atop the exit portal lie four [[Minecraft:torch]]es and the [[Minecraft:dragon egg]]. After the dragon is killed, it can be [[Minecraft:respawn]]ed an unlimited number of times by placing four [[Minecraft:End crystal]]s on the sides of the exit portal. Respawning the ender dragon regenerates any obsidian pillar blocks previously mined by the player, as well as the torches on the exit portal. However, the dragon egg does not regenerate when a respawned ender dragon is killed.

	To access the End, the [[Minecraft:player]] must go through the process of finding a [[Minecraft:stronghold]] using [[Minecraft:eyes of ender]], finding the portal room, and activating the [[Minecraft:End portal]] in the End portal room. The room consists of a 5×5 square of [[Minecraft:End portal frame]]s, with the corners cut out, making a total of 12. The portal hangs over a [[Minecraft:lava]] pool, with a staircase leading up to it. A [[Minecraft:silverfish]] [[Minecraft:Monster Spawner\|spawner]] sits on top of the staircase.
