Guide on how to build, find and activate portals in Minecraft: to the Nether, to the End, to the distant islands of the End
In Minecraft, besides the usual world, there are two more dimensions – Nether and End. The first is the abode of infernal creatures like zombies, ghasts and flashes (efreet), the second is the place of the battle with the main boss, and thanks to the distant islands and cities of the End, it is a source of free armor and tools. Both worlds can be accessed through portals.
Portals to the Nether
The portal to the Nether needs to be built. The structure is a frame made of obsidian blocks so that the opening area is at least 2×3 blocks. More is possible. It is not necessary to build up corners. The portal should be lit with a flint.

After activating the portal, you can jump. In the Nether, at coordinates about ten times smaller than yours, a portal connected to you built will appear. If there is already a portal there, then it will simply bind to yours.
Portals to End
Portals to the End can only be built in creative game modes. It is important, when assembling the portal in creative mode, put the eyes of the ender, being inside the frame, otherwise it will not form.

In survival, you will have to look for a fortress , a dungeon, in which one portal to the End will spawn. The dungeon itself is located with the help of the eyes of the ender – just throw them until you find yourself at the point where the eye no longer moves after the throw. After that, dig down. To activate the portal, a room with it can be found somewhere in the dungeon, you will also need the eyes of an ender. A few will already be framed, but keep the rest with you (carry all 12 to be sure). The room with the portal is guarded by a breeding ground (spawner) of silverfish, and the main island of the End, where you get to, is guarded by the main boss of the game, the dragon Ender, be prepared.

Gate of the End
The main way to get to the distant islands is the End Gate . After killing the dragon, they appear and activate, giving out a purple beacon beam. Due to the fact that their height is one block, you can go through them by throwing the Ender pearls, or by driving along the rails on a minecart. After the transition to the distant islands, a connected gate will appear.
In addition, gates sometimes appear on the distant islands, leading to the main island of the End for a quick return to the ordinary world.
