The End is a dimension of floating islands in the void.
Overview
Long being an unknown dimension that was said to exist in Freedonia, The End lies many secrets not rumoured in the overworld. In the current days, the main End island serves as both an arena for the Ender Dragon boss fight and the hub for roads and portals to outer End islands.
The End..?
In order to get to the End dimension, one must use an End Portal, see List of End Portals.
If an Ender Dragon has been summoned, the exit from the End is blocked, and the dragon must be slain for the gate to be open. You might not return to Spawn when returning to the Overworld. Outer portals lead farther out in the dimension for players to get lost.
Islands
Main island
The main island is primarily the arena for the dragon boss fight. In December 2022, 
abamacus began a total and complete renovation of the island (to the maximum extent possible), making any real "builds" at this time effectively "additional grief". (to see the first permission from admin see chat 2023-12-28 21:50 UTC, also more ~1 day later) Since the current build gives the player massive advantages against the dragon, there should be no real need to build/break any blocks in this fight. But if you feel placing blocks temporarily will assist you, then I abamacus give you my blessing; but please clean them up after you are finished.
- There are still some areas placed by various players, including
TheDarkrai85 extending a center column of Bedrock down to Y=2. Hopefully this will all be cleared at some point, to make a clean area for a central sculpture under the island.
On the outer ring of the main island, there are branches to Gateway Portals leading to the scattered End islands. Use the [Lift Up] sign for access that does not require even an Ender Pearl. NOTE: the return Gateway Portal might not be as accommodating.
Dragons
Normally one summons a single dragon using four End Crystals. But sometimes these dragons lose their way, remaining lost in the End lands; until a player takes pity on them by keeping them in loaded chunks, escorting them back to their favorite place, the central island. Seen here, abamacus brought five lost End Dragons back all at one time!
In the last week of 2022, 
Anna_28 announced that Custom Crafting Recipes existed for new variants of End Crystals, which could spawn alternate types of Dragons:
- To reflect on some of the events this year a new feature has been implemented to allow respawning of the Terrain and Robot Dragons at the central end island.
- Just use four crystals of the associated dragon type (Terrain Crystals, Metal Crystals) instead of regular Ender Crystals.
- You can also use the Snowflake Crystals from The Fight Before Christmas dungeon to fight Frost Golems again now that the dungeon is over. ❄️
- These crystals can be crafted with their associated event items.
- If you are looking to challenge the Robot Dragon but don't have the materials from the Tour of Terror event, Delta City may have the metal and lasers needed to craft Metal Crystals and summon the dragon...
Outer islands
The outer islands were generated brand new from the 1.12 MCO update, and regular rules from the Overworld apply. Some build maparts, another challenge the vanilla End City, or others get lost in outer space where no one hears your voice, except the staring endermen.
The End also features the Shulker Ranch, a dungeon using the PenguinDungeons plugin. Head to Portal G from the main island to access it.
Map
Legacy
The End dimension was originally owned by 
AgentMuu and admins, where even more secrets were hidden. The decision to completely reset the dimension was made due to the new outer islands being generated since the End update on Minecraft 1.9, with possible use of new purpur blocks, end rods and shulkers.
Just prior to the 1.12.2 update of Freedonia, the Endsurrection occured, players raced each other to find strongholds to obtain vouchers and weaken the Ender Lord. Upon defeating the Ender Lord, Freedonia was replaced with a short temporary map on 1.12.2 and then returned to Freedonia still on 1.12.2 with a new End.
On 3rd April 2021, with the official update of Freedonia to 1.12.2, the End dimension was reset, and all buildings, with a few exceptions, were lost for the next 3 years, still hidden somewhere in the old backup worlds. The old End returned for the finale of Astral Fracture, making the old buildings accessible once again.
