End gateway portals don't work if the destination area on the outer end islands has already been generated.

I have been having this issue with a world generated new with Win10 version 1.5.0.  Two of the end gateway portals generated work fine.  Two portals cause my character to be trapped inside with suffocation damage.  

Still present in 1.8.0. My first portal functions correctly, but any new portals just leave me trapped inside. 

I opened the world in an editor. The coordinates for the exit portal just read 0 0 0 instead of somewhere in the outer islands.

I defeated the Ender Dragon once and spent a long time exploring the outer islands. After I defeated the dragon a second time, I was not able to enter the second end gateway either, so I got stuck.

But I tried to use a bucket of water to try to swim (I would be with a block of height) but I died suffocated, when I came back and took the water had no more end gateway.

Occurred January 03 2019, Windows 10 edition, 1.8.0

I dont know maybe break bedrock and try to regen it

I've seen multiple separate instances of what looks like this bug on Reddit. These are all apparently coming since 1.9 was released this morning.

This has happened to me. I turned off my Switch and restarted the game. Now I can't reload my save at all, so I am stuck in the loading screen (the one with the game tips). No backup either because I don't have a Nintendo Online Subscription, so I can't upload saves to the cloud

Had previously done some exploring in the end but today after the update I just get teleported into the bedrock and get stuck until I suffocate/glitch out somehow

Sorry for the ongoing issue, and thanks for the updated information. Can this be reproduced in new worlds as well (by exploring the outer islands first) or does it only affect existing worlds?

Ah ha! This is also my issue: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-41556

Our hosted Bedrock Realm is experiencing the issue of the players becoming suffocated when attempting to go through an end gateway portal using ender pearls. Is this being considered part of the same bug ticket? Players are using a variety of platform devices from xbox through nintendo switch and mobile android. This has only begun happening since the realm updated to 1.9.0.

Just experience this 1.9.0 both of us are on ipads. Throw a pearl get stuck in bedrock. We were able to enderpearl and get through while sufficating. Bug also pops up the water bubbles. I got through but my husband was teleported to a black voidish area. After logging out and back in he was back in the bedrock, he was able to get through after that. We are on realms, world was made after 1.8 came out.

I just threw the goddamn pearl to the portal and the game crashed and it doesn't load anymore, a f**** 40+ hour survival world..

My world is 250hr+ and it doesn't load. Our only hope is a patch.

I've also experienced this problem but the world won't load up again after a save-and-quit. I had opened 3 end gateway portals, but it broke when I tried to go back through the first gateway I opened to continue deconstruction of an end city. I had explored all around the first end gateway portal before  I opened the other 2 so I had no way of generating the 1st portal at the end islands, it just suddenly failed to work after defeating the ender dragon, going through the 3rd gateway, coming back to the main island, saving and quiting, getting on the next day and suddenly portal 1 doesn't want to work. I did have a spare enderpearl on me so I might be able to escape if the world would ever load. I still remain trapped stuck inside the end gateway portal

If your world is not loading after experiencing this bug, are you able you provide a copy of the world? (If it's bigger than 10MB, you might need to use a file sharing site such as OneDrive.)

This is also being tracked at MCPE-41513 - which may be a different issue to that originally described here.

Well, would like to help to send you a corrupted world. But don’t know how to export it (ios). If it helps I can post my last screenshot stucked in the portal before closing the world. .... well ... it doesn’t work too, because this website for a mobile game support isn’t optimised for mobile using  😃 (Replacement, No sad face available)

Please read my last post on the linked issue MCPE-41513 . the TL:DR: is I was able to recover the world by making the world a realm loading into the realm and letting it kill me on an extended load, then downloading the realm back to the computer. If you've still got your free realm trial it might be worth a shot. If not I wouldn't suggest spending the money on a "might work".

Good luck.

Just wanted to comment as I've got exactly this issue.   Except I've only got one Gateway (killed ED just once so far).

I was going through my end gateway portal for the first time in a few months...  Was using the water method.   Got stuck in bedrock as described above.  The first time, I was "released" and promptly fell into the void.   All other times since, I haven't been able to get out, and die from suffocation in the endless teleporting loop thing.   Doesn't seem to make any difference if I use the water or a enderpearl.

Is this an issue that we should expect a fix for, or do I need a workaround... eg kill the EnderDragon again and see if a new portal works?

To add to the above...  The exact same issue now occurs with my other world (both are survival and on Bedrock Edition)!

In my 2nd game; the teleporting / death in the portal happened a bit different - sometimes it would get stuck and I'd sit there in blackness without taking damage; but dying was the only way out 😞  

[Luckily, i've died most times and so haven't quite had the game loading crash that others have... and when dying, you re-spawn several blocks above your bed... which I think may be related...maybe some co-ordinate thing is creating issues. ]

When I try to teleport to the End cities, my coordinates will rapidly switch between two places repeatedly, and then I'll usually get stuck in darkness or bedrock. I've tried a few times now, and now I'm actually completely unable to load the world after quitting while stuck teleporting. The loading screen is stuck on "Building terrain".

@Matthew Wiens please  check MCPE-41513.
@unknown is requesting sample worlds that have the loading issue.

I've been having the same issue in a Multiplayer Realm 1.9 already released (Xbox Better together version). I revisited the End and threw my Ender Pearl into the gateway, I was going to map the islands I was going to visit. I saw on my level 4 map (in my offhand) teleporting me between two locations and I thought I would be able to go through but I found myself suffocating and I "fell out of the world," obviously losing all my gear and loot.

@@unknown Welcome to the club. Unbreaking III + Mending Elytra and full max level enchanted Diamond gear. It was a sad day.

@Brian Green I also lost all that too as well as an Ender Chest

Im on realm Windows 10 1.9 and I got stuck in pitch blackness.  was suffocating until I ate food, somehow eating caused me to fall out into darkness...

I am on Nintendo Switch realm. I did not explore any parts of the end at all. I used the portal right after Ender dragon fight and it worked like normal. I went back to the overworld for awhile. When I came back to the end and tried using gateway again I just get stuck inside the portal. The screen is total blackness. Only thing I can see is cords, I keep teleporting between the two locations constantly and get stuck in this continuous loop. For some reason hunger bar completely goes to zero from full in a matter of seconds. And starving to death is the only way I can escape.

The same thing happened to me on Xbox one. Please tell me you found a solution...I put years into this world

Interesting that since respawning the enderdragon; the new Portal works fine for me (Bedrock Win10) - also, the new portal landed me in a place that I had already explored, and still worked and generated end cities etc.   Also (so far) all the portals that send you back to the main island have worked; including one I had used ages ago. 

I've been back and forth a few times, no other issues so far.  However still a bit strange that a fix hasn't been forthcoming already - it's a pretty major issue effecting a lot of people...

There is a fix coming. Honestly mojang should inform and warn us to not use end portals at all till this has been fixed. I can not understand why this issue is so low prioritiezed to get fixed, as I understood, at the earliest with the next major update. Or why it happend at all with the amount of beta testing prior 1.9. 

You lucky guys didn’t leave the game while stucked. Otherwise it is possible to break your save game. A literally game breaking bug should be something for a hot fix.

I got stuck a couple of times, but instead of waiting for it to crash, or logging out, I force-closed the game using my Switch OS (in spite of it's warning about losing your save) so as to not keep my position. So upon re-launching the game it always restored me to my last point just before I'd entered the gateway. Might be something to remember about all buggy situations when using the Switch in Minecraft — you can force it to close and it will lose the last minute or two of game-play, even in a Realm.

Erik. This happened to me. 5 year old world won't load now. I was lucky I had a copy saved. Still lost 6 months of work tho.

@Jaron
A moderator has confirmed that this issue is resolved in 1.11.0.3. I know that might be a couple months off but might be better than losing 6 months.
Also if you upload your world to a realm and re-download it after it usually fixed the issue where you can not join the world. Obviously don't try that portal again.

Already from some beta versions like the lawn does not expand to the other blocks of land, could you fix it please.

JA, What are you talking about? lawn not expanding?

My son has had this happen several times on the first portal in the End having revisited the End to look for more End Cities. Platform: Xbox One, v1.9.0

This just happened to my buddy in our realm. He tried going through a few different ways, standing close, standing far away, making sure he was at face level with the portal. Died each time. 

Can anyone confirm if the new update has resolved this issue?  I'm not able to test at this moment.
