Endermen created the End Portal
I've had this topic covered in a video, but of course I cannot just stop talking about things I've already talked about because this is just so interesting to me and I need more people to know! Many have wondered where the End portal came from. These magical blocks which are required to power to reach the End dimension as well as the end of the game have become so integral to progression yet remain mysterious. Most just chalk it up to humans or something randomly finding their way into the End for whatever reason. Maybe even becoming endermen in the process. This does not make sense, though. Looking at the End portal texture, we can see that it is made of end stone. A material from the End and only found in the End.
Not only that, but that teal/cyan framing that covers the end stone of the end portal frame is also a material from the End! It's found imbedded into the end stone itself in the Minecraft Dungeons files. Here's a look at some examples of this material found throughout the Dungeons' End:
Essentially, the materials that the End portal is made of consist entirely of End materials. There's no way that anyone from the Overworld could've made these frames because it is simply impossible to created a portal to another dimension if that same portal requires materials from that world. I mean, you can even take a look at the 'Eye' armor trim smithing template.
The recipe to duplicate it takes end stone as well. People going to the End from the Overworld should've been an impossible task. Especially for people who would have no knowledge of the End prior to entering. However, this would be entirely possible if it were beings from the End making their way to the Overworld. Then, they'd be able to grant us access by constructing these frames. This paints a very intriguing picture of the history of Minecraft. Also, it's basically confirmed that this happened. lmao
Not even the only villager statue here either.
