Natural generation

End rods generate naturally all over Minecraft:End cities. They may spawn upright on the outside of towers, and they may spawn sideways inside of towers.

Usage

File:EndRodPositions.png

End rods in various positions on purpur blocks.

End rods are primarily used as light sources and decoration. They can be placed on any surface of any block, including other End rods. They do not break if their supporting block is broken. Gravity-affected blocks like Minecraft:sand or Minecraft:gravel do not break if they fall onto an End rod oriented vertically, but they do break on a rod oriented horizontally. End rods can be pushed and pulled by Minecraft:pistons, no matter the orientation.

Inside some End city towers, they are positioned so the Minecraft:player may use them to climb the tower, similar to a spiral staircase.

Light

End rods emit a light level of 14 (equal to Minecraft:torches), melting Minecraft:snow layers and Minecraft:ice within a 2-block radius.

When the Minecraft:Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft:Minecraft Preview, the end rods emit colored point lighting with Template:Color. This causes the bottom part of the block to render a small square shadow.

Trivia

• While an End rod cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear like a unicorn horn. This can be done with the Template:Cmd command.
