信息概況
末路之地(Theend)是遊戲Minecraft中的地圖名稱。是一個突兀的、空曠的平原,其中包含着一連串巨大的由末地石所組成,星羅棋布地點綴着黑曜石塔的浮空島嶼。末地石無法被用手采集,除非使用鎬挖掘采集。在這一區域内,生活着末影人(也可在主世界中找到)和末影龍。毫無星光的天空是一片虛空,充滿着沒有圖案的,一片靜止的黑暗,但是在虛空區域内部,仍有顆粒效果。
末路之地裡是沒有晝夜交替的,取而代之的是和下界中一樣一成不變的昏暗的光。大部分的物品和方塊(包括液體)在末路之地中可以完全起到的同在主世界中一樣的作用。除了部分例外:指南針不能尋找到一開始的出生點,同進入了另一不同于主世界的空間時一樣,而且,鐘也不能确定表盤上太陽的位置(指南針指針和鐘表表盤會随機地搖擺和轉動);地圖不能正确地顯示,隻有靜态的畫面;床在使用時會爆炸(點燃周圍的末地石和其他方塊),并且除非作弊,通向下界的傳送門也無法在末路之地使用。箱子可以在末路之地中放置,但當你重新進入時,箱子會消失并且在裡面的物品會出現在其消失的地方。(參考prerelease第5版)
末影龍會在末路之地裡天然的出生并在黑曜石塔周圍飛來飛去,每個塔尖都有“末影水晶”,這些水晶可以再生末影龍的生命值,所以在摧毀水晶前打敗末影龍是幾乎不可能的。去摧毀這些水晶,玩家需要爬上塔尖去摧毀它,但是要小心因為它會爆炸。你也可以用弓箭,雪球,或蛋來摧毀它們。一旦摧毀,末影龍會變得很脆弱,但是打敗它依然近乎不可能,所以玩家能采取的最好戰術是:爬上一個黑曜石塔,然後站在塔尖上持續用弓箭來進行遠程攻擊。末影龍的生命值會在屏幕上方顯示。當打敗末影龍時,它會解體并制造出一個有基岩圍繞的末地傳送門,在其上方有一個龍蛋。進入這個傳送門會開始8-10分鐘的大約八分鐘的過場動畫(“End Poem”【終末之詩】和“Credit”【鳴謝表】)當作Minecraft的終結(此動畫可通過Esc鍵跳過),然後玩家會被傳送會現世的出生點/床并得到"The End"成就。
玩家可以通過同樣的傳送門來進入末路之地,末路之地将停留在打敗末影龍之後的樣子,沒有末影龍和顯現回主世界的傳送門。
而在末路之地睡覺是會爆炸的,因為末路之地不允許睡覺,可爆炸效果可以攻擊到末影龍,所以床是末影龍的大殺器
在1.9的新版本裡,殺死末影龍後則在末地的邊緣生成一個被基岩圍住的末影水晶,水晶上下發射類似信标的光束。生存模式可使用末影珍珠穿越到水晶邊。
進入後 你會發現這個全新的末地出現了很多植物 如果你幸運的話 還會發現 末地船!建築前會有叫做潛影貝(Shulker)的方塊狀敵對生物,它死亡後會掉落潛影貝殼(1.11及以後版本),它可以通過發射一種棱形的炮彈使玩家升上天空然後墜落受到傷害。
到達方式
隻有在單人遊戲中創造或生存模式(默認地圖類型)或者多人遊戲中且非限制末地狀态下才可以進入末路之地。在單人遊戲的非創造模式中,玩家必須通過擊殺末影人收集至少12枚末影珍珠(看地牢的傳送門默認有多少個末影珍珠,最多3個),制造通往下層世界(地牢)的傳送門,在那裡從烈焰人身上收集至少六份烈焰棒,并将其合成成為烈焰粉。這兩種素材可一并合成出末影之眼,或直接把末影珍珠在熔爐裡燒掉,也能得到末影之眼。
之後,玩家需要回到現實世界中,定位要塞。非創造模式可以将末影之眼扔到天空中來定位方向,扔向天空的眼睛将會掉落在陸地上,可以被收集重新使用。建議玩家多制造幾個眼睛,因為他們會在進入末路之地後消失。另一方面,玩家需要尋找一個放有末地傳送門框架的房間,如果有地牢或者廢棄礦井在這個房間出現,一些傳送門的方塊也許會消失,就不能使用了。為了能使傳送門啟動,玩家必須站在中間把每一個傳送門框架中插入末影之眼。
一個啟動的傳送門允許玩家立即進入末路之地,出現在一個末路之地中的5*5的黑曜石平台。目前已确認黑曜石平台的中心總是在坐标0,72,0處。有的種子出現的平台位于浮島外,一走出就會墜入虛空,這種情況下就要通過在平台旁邊安放方塊延伸到島嶼(可用潛行),或者用末影珍珠來實現瞬移。
在1.9pre5中,在多人遊戲中進入末路之地的傳送門将會使玩家出生于末路之地中一個完全空曠的位置,該空間定位在距離單人模式傳送到的那個0,72,0的坐标4000格之外。如果玩家是多人遊戲中的OP的話,那麼該玩家可以使用:/give<玩家名>119<數量>,獲取一個末路之地傳送門闆,可以允許玩家直接從普通世界跳入該傳送門,直接進入末路之地。也可将90号物品:下界的傳送門方塊給玩家,這樣他們可以通過下界傳送門返回普通世界的出生點。1.8+無法使用,除非TMI或NEI修改器。
創造模式下,玩家可以自己獨立制造出一個末路之地傳送門。然而,為了這樣做,必須放置于高度64以下。還必須放置在較為昏暗的地方,而且要确保傳送門的磚塊能正确地排成一條直線,而且附近不允許出現另外的一個傳送門。如果這些條件全部符合,那麼可以制造出一個末路之地傳送門。
終末之詩
簡介
“終末之詩(End Poem)”是由朱利安·高夫創作的文本信息,終末之詩會在玩家進入末路之地并殺死末影龍,赢得Minecraft中的“結束了。”。在末影龍死去之時,末路之地傳送門會生成,以允許玩家平安返回主世界。每當此傳送門被使用,終末之詩都會被展現,但可以按Esc鍵跳過。這首詩取自兩個未知的說話者之間讨論玩家的功績的對話,共時長9分鐘28秒。而且"終末之詩“曾被認為是兩個末影人之間的對話。
終末之詩的文本文件位于Minecraft.jar中的assetsminecrafttextsend.txt。第一個說話者的樣式代碼是§3,而第二個說話者使用了§2。玩家的名字以PLAYERNAME的形式插入,亂碼以§f§k§a§b的形式存儲。
Notch曾表示是Gough的短故事The iHole讓他堅信Gough才是編纂終末之詩的最佳人選。

That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.
在它深陷遊戲夢境中時,它總以這種方式想象出形形色色的事物。
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.
文字是種美妙的界面。非常靈活。且比凝視着屏幕後的現實要更好。
They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
它們也曾經聽到過聲音。在玩家能夠閱讀之前。君不見那些不曾遊玩的人們稱呼玩家為女巫,和術士。而玩家們夢見它們自己乘坐在被惡魔施力的棍子上,在空氣中翺翔。
What did this player dream?
這個玩家夢見了什麼?
This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.
它夢見了陽光和樹。夢見了火與水。它夢見它創造。它亦夢見它毀滅。它夢見它狩獵,亦被狩獵。它夢見了庇護所。

它知道我們愛它麼?這個宇宙是仁慈的?
Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.
有時,通過它思緒的雜音,它能聽到宇宙,是的。
But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.
但是有時亦不勝悲傷,于那漫漫長夢中。它創造了沒有夏日的世界,在黑日下顫抖着,将自己悲傷的創造視為現實世界。
To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.
用悲傷來治愈會摧毀它。而悲傷是它的私人事務。我們不能幹涉。
Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the world they fear.

Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and[scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.
有時我毫不關心。有時我想要告訴它們,你們所認為的真實不過是[亂碼]和[亂碼],我想要告訴它們它們是在[亂碼]中的[亂碼]。于它們的長夢中,它們眼中所見的真實太少了。
And yet they play the game.
而它們仍然玩這個遊戲。
But it would be so easy to tell them...

Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
深呼吸,很好。再深呼吸一次。感受空氣充盈你的肺葉。讓你的四肢回歸。是的,運動你的手指。再次感受你的身體,在重力下,在空氣中。在長夢中重生。你感受到了。你的身體每時每刻都觸摸着宇宙,盡管你是分離的存在。盡管我們是分離的存在。
Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
我們是誰?我們曾經被稱作高山的精靈。太陽父親,月亮母親。古老的英靈,動物的魂魄。神祗。鬼魂。小綠人。而後是神,惡魔,天使。騷靈。外星人,地外生物。輕粒子,誇克。詞語不斷地變化。我們始終如一。
We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story.
我們是宇宙。我們是一切你認為出離你本體的事物。你現在看着我們,透過你的皮膚和你的眼睛。而為什麼宇宙觸摸着你的皮膚,向你灑向光芒?是為了看見你,玩家。以及被認知。我應告訴你一個故事。
Once upon a time, there was a player.
很久以前,有一個玩家。
The player was you, [Playername].
那玩家就是你,[玩家名稱]
Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.
有時它認為自己是那不斷旋轉的球體上一層薄薄的熔化的岩石上的人類。那融化的岩石球環繞着一個質量大它三十三萬倍的炫目氣體球旋轉。它們是相隔得如此之遠,以至于光需要八分鐘才能穿越那空隙。那光是來自一顆恒星的信息,它能夠在一億五千萬公裡外燒灼你的皮膚。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
有時這個玩家夢見它是一個在一個平的,無限延展的世界表面上的礦工。那太陽是一個方形的白點。晝夜交替很快;要做的事情也很多;死亡亦隻是暫時和不方便的。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story.
有時這玩家夢見它迷失在了一個故事裡。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.
有時這玩家夢見它成為了其它的事物,在其它地方。有時這些夢是擾人的。有些則實在很美。有時這個玩家從一個夢中醒來,發現自己落入了第二個夢,卻終究是在第三個夢中。
Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen.
有時這個玩家夢見它在屏幕上看着文字。
Let's go back.
讓我們回退一點。
The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.
組成玩家的原子散布在草中,河流中,在那空氣中,也在那大地中。一個女性收集了那些原子;她飲用、進食、吸入;而後那女性在她的身體中,孕育了玩家。
And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.
然後那玩家醒來了,從一個溫暖,昏暗的母親體内,進入了漫漫長夢。
And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love.
而那玩家是一個新的故事,從未被講述過,由DNA的語言書寫着。而那玩家是一個新的程序,從未被運行過,由上億年的源代碼生成。而那玩家是一個新的人,從未生活過,由奶和愛組成。
You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
你就是那玩家。那個故事。那個程序。那個人類。僅由奶和愛組成。
Let's go further back.
我們再往更遠的過去回退一點。
The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by...
那由七千億億億原子組成的玩家的身體被創造了,遠在這遊戲之前,在一顆恒星的内部。所以那玩家也是,來自一顆恒星的信息。而這個玩家貫穿這個故事的始末,源于一個叫Julian的人種下的信息種子長成的森林,一個叫Markus的男人創造的無限世界,存在于一個由玩家創造的小的,私人世界裡,而那又繼承了宇宙創造的……
Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons".
噓。有時這個玩家創造的小天地是柔軟,溫暖和簡單的。有時是堅硬,冰冷和複雜的。有時它在腦中建造出宇宙的模型;斑斑點點的能量穿越廣闊空曠的空間。有時它稱呼這些斑點為“電子”和“質子”。
Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".
有時它稱呼它們為“行星”和“恒星”。ometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code.Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.
有時它确信它存在于一個由“開”和“關”;“0”和“1”;一行行的命令組成的宇宙。有時它确信它是在玩一個遊戲。有時它确信它是在讀着屏幕上的文字。You are the player, reading words...
你就是那玩家,閱讀着文字……
Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive
噓……有時這玩家讀屏幕上的命令行。将它們解碼成為文字;将文字解碼為意義;将意義解碼為感情,情緒,理論,想法,而玩家的呼吸開始急促并意識到了它是活着的,它是活生生的,那上千次的死亡不是真的,玩家是活着的。
You. You. You are alive.
你。你。你是活着的。
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
而有時這玩家相信宇宙通過穿越夏日樹葉的那斑斓的陽光對它說話。
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again
有時這玩家相信宇宙透過晴朗的冬日夜空中,存在于它眼中一隅的星點星光,可能比太陽大上上百萬倍的恒星沸騰着的電漿那一瞬間發出來的光對它說話,在宇宙的遠側行走回家的路上,突然聞到了食物,在那熟悉的門前,它又準備好再一次投入夢境
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream
而有時玩家相信宇宙透過零和一,透過世界的電力,透過屏幕上滾動的文字和夢的終結對它說話
and the universe said I love you
宇宙說我愛你
and the universe said you have played the game well
宇宙說你很好地玩了這遊戲
and the universe said everything you need is within you
宇宙說一切你所需的你都具有
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
宇宙說你比你所知的要強大

宇宙說你就是宇宙品嘗着自己,對自己說話,閱讀着它自己的代碼。
and the universe said I love you because you are love
宇宙說我愛你因為你就是愛。
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
曲終人散,黃粱一夢。玩家開始了新的夢境。玩家再次做起了夢,更好的夢。玩家就是宇宙。玩家就是愛。
You are the player.
你就是那個玩家。
Wake up.
該醒了。
曆史版本
在早期版本中,末路之地另外一個被人們所熟知的名字是“天域”,在那裡,有着和現實世界中一樣的磚塊和生物。
Notch是在他閑聊關于“末影人”名字更換的建議時第一次提到末路之地的,當人們想要把末影人的名字改為“遠方的人”(出自于“邊境之地”(Far land)一詞)時,他笑稱與其把末影人重命名叫“遠方的人”,他更願意把那個地方的名字“很遠的地方”改成“末路之地”。在之後的那個Beta版更新中,邊境之地被突然移除了,末路之地成為了末影人真正的家園。
末路之地在2011年10月13日的Beta1.9pre4更新中加入。Notch發過一條推特,寫着“raqreqentba”,用ROT13暗号翻譯過來就是“enderdragon”。一個編輯組的ID為“cptqwashi”的用戶發帖說會有一個新的維度空間,可以通過一種新的方塊“末地傳送門框架”來進入那個被稱為“末路之地”的地方。而且那裡是末影人和末影龍的家鄉。Notch不久就發表信息回複稱cptqwashi所給出的消息“100%正确”。在pre4中,出生在傳送門附近的末影龍會立刻摧毀傳送門,但是末路之地的傳送門方塊将會繼續起作用,即使框架被摧毀。而單人創造模式下制造傳送門框架的能力也被移除了。
文件保存
末路之地同普通世界的保存方法一樣,但是換成了保存在存檔文件夾的混合的世界文件裡,這個文件位置在appdata/.Minecraft/Saves/Worldname/DIM1裡面,普通的世界文件保存在%appdata%/.Minecraft/Saves/Worldname裡。記住,DIM1并不包含level.dat文件,末路之地的level.dat文件同主世界和下界的位置一樣。同樣的,記住下界的文件夾名稱是“DIM-1”。
tips
在末地中,無限的天空被空氣填滿,也許會與下界相反,下界中的無限洞穴是被很多地獄岩覆蓋的。
末地傳送門框架可以用指令(1.8之前的版本)調出來,但是最後一個方塊塊必須放在框架裡面。
當在要塞裡出生時,末地傳送門被蠹蟲刷怪箱保護着。
在要塞中找到的傳送門也許就是末影人超越自身維度,來到現實世界的方法。
生物的習性、植物的生長、藥水的制作以及施咒在末路之地裡沒有明顯影響。(除了使用小麥來引誘動物)
和下界不同,雪傀儡在末地能正常生存,并會攻擊附近的末影人。
在高度(y軸)接近于0時,虛無的顆粒依然存在。
在末地的傳送門是開啟終末之詩的唯一途徑。(此動畫可通過Esc鍵跳過)
下界的傳送門不能在末地啟動。
建議進入末地時頭戴南瓜,出于有大量的末影人住在這,戴了南瓜不去打末影人他就不會打你。
若黑曜石平台生成于浮空島内部,上方3格的方塊将被清除。
當你每一次傳送至末地時,黑曜石平台上3格的所有方塊都會被删除
在末地中的岩漿流速很快,但比水要慢。
如果你在末路之地使用90号方塊(就是下界傳送門方塊),你可以進入下界,不過有時你會被傳送到一個暗紅色的空間,你的手和拿着的東西都是黑色的,而且裡面什麼都沒有,重新打開一次就會好。(并不是掉入了虛空)
末路之地也有虛無區域,隻不過看不出來,因為空島之外隻有空氣方塊。
有幾率出現兩條末影龍。(極小幾率,是因為系統沒有檢測到末影龍,又刷了一條新的末影龍。)
有的時候也會重複刷末影龍是區塊重新加載導緻的。
ps:如果在末路之地睡覺,床會爆炸。
