Do all end portals lead to the same place?
All End Portals in Minecraft lead to the same platform in The End, and leaving The End by normal means will always take the player back to their spawn point in the Overworld, making the only advantage of The End a one-way teleport to the player’s spawn. This means that regardless of which End Portal a player uses, they will always end up in the same location in The End.

What are End Portals and Strongholds?
